Trump Exchanges Heated Words with CNN Reporter on G7 Exit and Israel-Iran Tensions

On an unspecified date, President Donald Trump spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One, explaining his reasons for leaving the G7 summit. During the interaction, Trump engaged in a heated exchange with CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins, criticizing the network as 'CNN fake news' over their coverage of the Israel-Iran conflict. He issued a direct warning to Iranians to 'Immediately Evacuate Tehran!' amidst escalating tensions between the two countries. In the course of the discussion, Trump responded intensely to a reporter's question about the potential use of nuclear weapons on Iran, denying plans to use such force while downplaying signs of unrest within his MAGA base concerning possible military action against Iran. Trump indicated that a decision about military strikes in Iran would be made within two weeks, framing this delay as a strategic pause.

In addition, Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, claiming the truce was 'in effect' after exerting pressure on both countries. Israel reportedly backed away from heavier strikes on Iran to maintain the ceasefire, with reports confirming that the U.S. had 'not destroyed' Iranian nuclear sites. Throughout the interactions, Trump repeatedly called out the media, specifically targeting CNN, accusing them of spreading 'fake news' and focusing on negative questions rather than positive dialogue.
