"I'm going to have dinner with great leaders, then get on a plane. I have to go home as soon as possible for reasons you know," Mr. Trump told reporters when asked about his plan to leave the G7 early on the evening of June 16.

An administration official told NBC News that President Trump has asked the National Security Council to prepare to meet in the Situation Room upon his return from the G7 Summit.
