According to BBC, Trump is due to today leave the US for Singapore for a landmark meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
"He will leave well before the end of this G7 summit: next stop Singapore, to face Kim Jong-un. Trump will miss the talks on climate change, the environment and probably gender equality on Saturday," the BBC reports.
