President Donald Trump is attending the G7 summit in Alberta, Canada, where he will hold a meeting this morning with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

If there is a shared mission at this year’s G7 summit, which begins Monday in Canada’s Rocky Mountains, it is a desire to minimize any fireworks at a moment of combustible tensions.

NBC News' Gabe Gutierrez reports on the possible pressure Trump could face to de-escalate tensions between the countries.

President Donald Trump is attending the opening day of the Group of Seven summit Monday in Canada, where some of the staunchest and oldest U.S. allies are expected to discuss tariffs and the escalating military conflict between Israel and Iran — all while attempting to avoid direct confrontations with the mercurial U.

President Donald Trump said on Sunday (June 15) that he hopes Israel and Iran can broker a deal but said sometimes countries have to "fight it out" first.

Iran says more than 224 Iranians have been killed, most of them civilians.
