Live updates: Trump criticizes Russia's exclusion from G7, calling it 'very big mistake'

President Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Monday on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Alberta. It's their second meeting in as many months, coming amid elevated tensions caused by Trump's tariffs on Canada and his references to the nation as the 51st U.S. state. Trump said they would talk "about trade and many other things."

Speaking to the press at the start of the summit, Trump criticized Russia's exclusion, calling it "a very big mistake" and suggesting Russia's presence may have prevented the war with Ukraine.

Trump is also expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum while at the G7. And on Sunday, as he left the White House, he said he expects a “few more trade deals" to come out of the gathering.

Across the globe, Israel and Iran traded strikes for a fourth day on Monday. At least eight people died in Israel as Iran fired a new wave of missile attacks, while Israel warned residents of part of Tehran to evacuate ahead of new strikes. The Israeli military also said Monday it had gained air superiority over Tehran, able to fly over the capital with few threats.

And a day after his surrender, suspect Vance Boelter is scheduled to appear Monday afternoon in a Minnesota courtroom to face charges after the weekend slayings of a lawmaker and her husband, plus the shootings of two other people.
