G7 leaders are in for an interesting meeting as U.S. President Donald Trump maintains his adversarial stance on trade.
Trump has been lashing out at longtime allies including Canada and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Prime Minister Trudeau is being so indignant, bringing up the relationship that the U.S. and Canada had over the many years and all sorts of other things…but he doesn’t bring up the fact that they charge us up to 300% on dairy — hurting our Farmers, killing our Agriculture!

Why isn’t the European Union and Canada informing the public that for years they have used massive Trade Tariffs and non-monetary Trade Barriers against the U.S. Totally unfair to our farmers, workers & companies. Take down your tariffs & barriers or we will more than match you!

Looking forward to straightening out unfair Trade Deals with the G-7 countries. If it doesn’t happen, we come out even better!

He added fresh drama when he called for Russia to be reinstated into the G7 group.
The member countries are Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Germany, the United States and Britain.
Russia used to be in part of the group, known then as the G8, but was ousted in 2014 as punishment for the annexation of Crimea.
Trump will arrive at the annual G7 meeting Friday.
He will leave Saturday morning before the event is over missing meetings about climate change, clean energy and ocean protection
