Trump drops bombshell after leaving G7 summit, accusing Trudeau of `false statements´
(The Star Food)

QUEBEC CITY—U.S. President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell after the G7 summit ended, essentially calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a liar who made “false statements� about Canada-U.S. trade.The president tweeted: “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’s reversal on the joint statement and declaration that he will proceed with an investigation and possible 25 per cent tariffs on automobile imports — despite all that he heard in Charlevoix over the past 24 hours — was a stunning move.Trudeau had closed the G7 summit just two hours earlier, calling it a success because the seven leaders had set aside sharp differences on tariffs and come to a consensus to support a vague statement endorsing “a rules-based international order� and “free, fair and mutually beneficial trade and investment.�But Trump tweeted he was now pulling out of the joint communiqué after all, although it was not entirely clear which of Trudeau’s statements he deemed “false.�Trump added an even further personal attack, tweeting: “PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting� and he “will not be pushed around.� Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!�In fact, Trump’s tweets appear to prove Trudeau’s point — that American tariffs are punitive measures and do not deal with actual national security concerns. Trump appears focused on Canada’s milk more than any threat to national security.Read more:Donald Trump disrupts G7 women’ ...
