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!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 8, 2018
Please tell Prime Minister Trudeau and President Macron that they are charging the U.S. massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers. The EU trade surplus with the U.S. is $151 Billion, and Canada keeps our farmers and others out. Look forward to seeing them tomorrow.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 7, 2018

Donald Trump is leaving the G7 summit early - skipping the climate discussions - amid increasing acrimony between himself and fellow world leaders.
The president will depart the Canada summit on Saturday morning following a furious Twitter spat with French President Emmanuel Macron.
Trump also attacked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, accusing him of damaging US agriculture and complaining that both he and President Macron 'are charging the U.S. massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers.'
Macron fired back on Twitter that the summit did not need the US: 'The American President may not mind being isolated, but neither do we mind signing a 6 country agreement if need be.

WNU Editor: French President Macron is facing national strikes and his popularity is hitting a new low. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and his Liberal Party of Canada just witnessed tonight the utter defeat of the Ontario Liberal Party in an election that voted in the Conservative Party led by Doug Ford .... a candidate premier who ran and won convincingly on a platform that was/is completely contrary to what Prime Minister Trudeau stands for. There is a lot to say about President Trump .... but the ones who are criticizing him are maybe not as popular as some would like to believe they are.

Yeah f Macron. All buddy buddy and on the first disagreement he leaks and treats Trump just like he's on CNN. Trump will remember..and Macron won't get reelected. Trump just might
Wouldn't be ironic if Trumps contempt for the EU forces Britain back into the EU? Britain was counting on a very good trade deal with the US and that might not be so easy now. Britain's values and people belong in the EU and are increasingly divorced from American values and culture. This is especially so with free speech and assembly.
