The prime minister's scheduled meeting with Donald Trump is in jeopardy as the US president prepares to leave an international summit early.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was due to meet with Mr Trump on the sidelines of the G7 on Tuesday local time.
But the president has revealed he will leave the event early due to the escalating situation in the Middle East.
"The president had a great day at the G7 … but because of what's going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State," his secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote in a post on X.
The news broke just minutes after the prime minister concluded his last media event for the day.
