On Saturday, Trump ripped into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He also pulled the U.S. out of the official statement of common values of G-7.
Trump 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!”
In a second tweet, he wrote that Trudeau was “meek and mild.”
He wrote, “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!”
Trump’s tweet comes as Trudeau announced that seven countries had “released a joint communique.”
The statement read: “We acknowledge that free, fair and mutually beneficial trade and investment while creating reciprocal benefits, are key engines for growth and job creation.”
Shortly after Trump criticized the Canadian Prime Minister for “false statements,” Trudeau’s office released a statement. The statement read, “We are focused on everything we accomplished here at the #G7 summit. The Prime Minister said nothing he hasn’t said before – both in public and in private conversations with the President.”
