Bitcoin dips amid reports Trump has called advisers to situation room
Bitcoin has lost recent gains in a $2,000 slide as Middle East tensions escalated on Monday night.
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency markets are dipping again as tensions in the Middle East further escalate, with US President Donald Trump leaving a summit of world leaders and posting an ominous message about Tehran.
Trump has requested that the National Security Council be prepared in the White House Situation Room as he returned early from the G7 summit in Canada on Monday, Fox News reported.
The report comes just hours after Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, with a chilling message: “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”
Meanwhile, US Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump arrived in Canada on Sunday for the annual G7 summit but departed early due to the escalating Israel-Iran conflict.
“Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State,” Leavitt wrote, according to CBS News.
“I have to be back early for obvious reasons,” Trump told reporters as he departed.
