a win under their belt but it's not all plain sailing they only narrowly defeat saudi arabia in their final warm up match before heading to russia. and welcome to the program divisions on display at the g. seven summit in canada leaders of some of the world's most powerful industrialized countries clash with u.s. president dol trump especially over trade and tariffs the summit's comedian host had hoped to focus on economic growth climate change and gender equality before the meeting even began trump tossed another contentious topic into the mix he wants russia to be readmitted to the g seven it was all filed during this family photo of the size of the italian prime minister the other leaders are not on board with

bringing moscow back into the g. seven fold. the scene looks idyllic but as leaders pulled together for the so-called family photo it was clear that one of the men in the middle u.s. president donald trump was more focused on a family feud. leaving washington for the summit trump set the tone for the days to come he left the u.s. as allies know what he thought of their relationship but they're drawing back like well we fought with you in the war three they don't mention the fact that they have trade barriers against our farmers they don't mention the fact that they're charging almost three hundred percent of what it all straightened out we'll all be in love again. and then he threw in this surprising tidbit. right here you see in this video why are we having a meeting without russia being in the meeting i would recommend and it's up to them

but russia should be in the meeting you should be a part of it a provocation for german chancellor angela merkel she had spoken out against allowing russia back into the group and in canada she pushed back. when his influence i need does we all agreed that a return of russia to the g seven summits columns happen until substantial progress has been made in connection with the problems with ukraine. russia iran climate change world trade the list of issues on the g. seven summit agenda is long but it's far from clear if the leaders will be able to agree on anything substantial besides trumps tariffs on steel and aluminum from allies which splits the us from canada mexico and the e.u. there strains even within the european bloc the new italian prime minister giuseppe conti has openly expressed support for president trump. with tensions rising and a possible trade war looming amongst close allies the future of the g.

seven is hard to gauge many observers have said it's likely this summit will end without a joint communique signed off on by all its members. i'm now joined by having a greek from the think tank german council on foreign relations trump says he wants russia back in the g. seven fold why is he so keen on getting moscow back at the table here can avoid thinking that this might be an attempt to divert attention from the conflicts inside the g seven i think trump has understood that the g. seven is united against him in this case japan wanted to have closer relations with russia italy as has been said the new government might be open for that so he might have caused some some. discussions inside the g seven that stop people talking about the trade issues that go so in the direction of conflict and war now.

it's too early to do that to take russia back in because the conditions need to be fulfilled and i think the others have shown a sign of unity against america well in terms of those tariffs we're going to talk about even if he maybe doesn't want to the french official has now said the u.s. and the e.u. will have some talks in the coming weeks about this is a positive step in that direction towards alleviating a trade war is trump going to potentially throw another monkey wrench in the process i think they talk about tariffs all the while they should i mean we have just stopped negotiating t. to the transatlantic trade and investment partnership between the e.u. and the us. in which the terrorists would have been abolished anyway so. trump could have had that negotiations on the lower level maybe specifically with certain sectors with the e.u. anyway he wouldn't there was no need to start this this with a bombastic gesture and no announcement of wars and threats and all that he could

have started to negotiate but he wanted to make the initial initial step a bit more uncomfortable for the us speaking of course and consisting of but he's expected to leave this meeting rather early several hours early in fact he'll miss some conversations about climate change and other topics this might mean all seven leaders want potentially be signing the end of summit communique how serious is this i mean this is unique and i think it is a big problem but the g. seven is a very important klopp of the former world leaders it's not without china so they have to defend their position there's good reason to believe that there will be more g seven summits and more more of that but. trump is always willing to show that he's able to walk away from the table that you can destroy procedures and organizations that others hold dear just to have a better outcome for america ok alec ng i had some probably already is too as he's

heading to singapore with the north korea summit on the horizon how are the leaders at this summit looking ahead to that i think they're happy that there is talk there that there is an america trying to negotiate and talk itself out of the crisis but nobody hopes i think seriously that communion will give of nuclear weapons because this is the the life assurance that he has and if there is a talk in america we'll take the blame if it goes wrong everybody's fine henry makow from the german council on foreign relations thank you very much. iranian president hassan rouhani says he wants further talks with russia on what he calls america illegal withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal rani was speaking on the sidelines of a major security summit in the chinese city of qingdao a two day meeting is being co-hosted by russia with india and pakistan also in attendance some see it as an alternative g seven expected to dominate discussions
