The Reuters outlets, citing a senior government official, report that May was due to stay at the meeting of the world’s leading industrialized nations until the end of the program on Saturday, but now plans to leave after the first day.

«Based on the fact that we have a threat level which is currently critical and the ongoing situation here, the PM currently plans a shortened program at the G7 so she is likely to return on Friday evening,» the official said.
