President Trump on Thursday lashed out at the leaders of France and Canada over roiling trade disputes, setting the stage for a confrontational Group of Seven summit of major economic powers.
A day before leaving for the meeting in Canada, Trump singled out French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Twitter for threatening to isolate the U. S. over his efforts to change global trade rules.
“Please tell Prime Minister Trudeau and President Macron that they are charging the U. S. massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers,” Trump wrote. “The EU trade surplus with the U. S. is $151 Billion, and Canada keeps our farmers and others out.”
The president added: “Look forward to seeing them tomorrow .”
