Quote:The Latest: Merkel finds Trump's action sobering, depressing

German Chancellor Angela Merkel says she finds President Donald Trump's tweet disavowing a common statement after the Group of Seven summit in Canada "sobering" and "a little depressing."

In an interview Sunday on German public television, Merkel also says European leaders won't be "taken advantage of" on trade.

Quote:France on G7: 'Fits of anger' cannot dictate international cooperation

France warned Sunday that "fits of anger" could not dictate international cooperation after US President Donald Trump abruptly rejected a joint statement agreed following a bad-tempered G7 summit in Canada.

"International cooperation cannot be dictated by fits of anger and throwaway remarks," President Emmanuel Macron's office said in a statement to AFP.

"We spend two days working out a (joint) statement and commitments. We are sticking to them and whoever reneges on them is showing incoherence and inconsistency.

"Let's be serious and worthy of our people. We make commitments and keep them," the presidency said, adding that "France and Europe maintain their support for this (G7) statement."

Basically Trudeau's statement said the communique was a lie. So Trump disavowed it.

It was. Trump proposed a completely tariff free zone among the G7 and they rejected it. They do not want fair and free trade. They want the status quo where they get to practice protectionism while we leave our markets open and tariff free. Basically they are saying----"Obama was cool with it---whats Trumps major malfunction?". I say tariff war? Bring it!!

The guy is exactly what this country needed. Leadership.
The Israel big cheese said it best, "if you are fair with President Trump, he's always going to be fair and accommodating. If not, you're going to lose. Simple as that. He's the most common sense leader I've ever met."

Trump lied about the tariffs that was Canada on our food products. We are actually have a surplus on Canada. They buy most of our products. They are the only country allowing our products be sold to their citizens while mainly countries like China refuse to buy a lot from us.

Canada buys most of our products? What do you mean by that? They only buy 18% of our exports while we buy 74% of their exports.

Once again, a liberal lies. Go to any store in Canada and you won't find one American product.

You will find bagged milk though.

Milk in a bag. Not in a carton or a jug.

Dude, for some reason I can't help but like you even as misguided as you are. Please, do some research before making posts like this one, they make you appear to be ill-informed.
