The latest G7 Summit session ended with Trump backing out of a trade statement with other Countries.
The President became enraged after a statement by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau criticized Trump’s trade policy and Trump didn’t stand for it.
He instructed his officials to withdraw immediately from any agreement with other Countries regarding trade.
Furthermore Trump threatened to increase import costs on automobiles entering the Country.
No Deal
The President vented his frustration on twitter.
“Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!,” Trump wrote.
Trudeau said that they wouldn’t be pushed around despite their politeness.
“I highlighted directly to the President that Canadians did not take it lightly that the United States has moved forward with significant tariffs on our steel and aluminum industry,” Trudeau said. “Particularly, [they] did not take lightly that it’s for a national security reason that for Canadians . . . who stood shoulder to shoulder with American soldiers in far off lands in conflicts from the First World War onward, it’s kind of insulting.”
