  After leaving the G7 early, Donald Trump told reporters on Air Force One he was seeking what he’s calling a “real end” to the conflict between Israel and Iran and wants to do “better” than just a ceasefire.   His defence secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed the US is moving “additional capabilities” to its Middle East bases.   So, will Trump’s unconventional approach to diplomacy work or fuel the crisis in the Middle East?   On today’s Sky News Daily Mark Austin speaks to Sky’s security and defence analyst Michael Clarke about Trump’s unpredictable approach to world affairs, and whether he’ll be able to strike a deal.  Producer: Natalie Ktena & Araminta Parker Editor: Wendy Parker
