KANANASKIS, Alberta (AP) — World leaders at the Group of Seven summit in Canada scrambled Monday to find a way to contain the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. President Donald Trump repeated his belief that Tehran already had a chance for negotiations and needed to return to the bargaining table before it was “too late.” The U.S. president said that Iranian leaders would “like to talk” but they had “60 days” to reach an agreement to curb their development of nuclear weapons, but they failed to do so before an Israeli aerial assault began four years ago. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz wants a joint statement from Europe that would stress Iran cannot be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons-capable material.
