this is d w news live from berlin u.s. president donald trump clashes with allies over trade at the g. seven summit he condemns unfair trade practices and then proposes removing all tariffs and barriers to trade for g seven members we'll go live to a press conference with canadian prime minister justin trudeau. waiter welcome to the program divisions are on display at the g.

seven summit in canada us president donald trump first railed against unfair trade practices and then proposed removing all tariffs and barriers to trade shortly before leaving the meeting he missed the group's discussion on climate change as he departed for singapore for next week's summit with north korea's kim jong un canadian prime minister justin trudeau is set to give a joint statement by the g seven leaders soon. the battle lines were drawn early in québec. six leaders done together for breakfast while the seventh turned up late a sure sign of the esteem in which he holds the summit. the advancement of women more protection for the oceans and climate many of the topics that canadian prime minister justin trudeau wanted to address seemed to hold little interest for donald trump instead he used the meeting to complain once more about the opponent unfair trade practices the u.s. faces and to threaten the other leaders.

because you see we have a tremendous trade imbalance so when we try and bring our piece up a little bit so that it's not so bad and then they go up right the difference is they do so much more business with us than we do with them that we can't lose that you understand we can't listen to talks that are actually going well he did before leaving the building. five hours before the summit official and. in his absence the remaining leaders worked on a joint declaration to commit to a reduction of targets and subsidies and to reform the world trade organization. very openly the devil is in the details which is why many of the current trade talks including those with the u.s. will continue despite this joint declaration and that's why this very open

discussion was necessary. but may not be very convincing for the nearby g. seven protesters they accuse the leaders of the world's seven largest economies of an auction taking a company trip to canada instead of taking care of the world's many problems. and in the face of lots of tensions and uncertainty we are still waiting for our canadian prime minister justin trudeau to read out the g seven is expected joint statement any second now we will cut to him a live as soon as that begins happening before now let's bring in correspondent claire richardson who is in the back that is so clear it looks like that we will actually see some sort of signed a joint statement after this g. seven summit where have these leaders now found common ground. nice to see you miles well this seems to be common ground in the sense of them all wanting to save face and reject criticisms that this meeting has actually done more

to deepen the divide between the g seven countries the six countries who have come together perhaps on this agreement and the united states under the administration of donald trump we did hear the president just earlier in his surprise last remarks before leaving saying essentially accusing u.s. allies of robbing the united states saying that the u.s. is the piggy bank that everybody is robbing and this very much goes to his philosophy that the u.s. is getting the bad end of a deal now the fact that we're even discussing whether there is going to be a joint statement at the end of this summit is quite remarkable generally going into this kind of meeting the leaders have already met ahead of time they have a clear set of priorities and shared values that they want to communicate in a final communique in their final communication but the thing here that has really held that up have been two major stumbling blocks one is of course trade and the other is the environment and both of those are coming from the united states and of

donald trump's policies now trump in his statement that he gave earlier said quote the gig is up and i'm assuming that he meant the jig is up and he was specifically talking about these trade practices and tariffs that he's been railing against how do the other countries react to that does it look like they're actually going to back out to u.s. pressure or are they going to carry on with their retaliatory measures. will these tariffs on steel and aluminum that went into effect at the end of last month have been a real sore point throughout the meeting they were placed on key u.s. allies who really see that united states does not have much to stand to gain from having done so they see it as unfair trading practices in canada went so far as to call the tariffs illegal so in order to continue with the sense that we still live in a rules. based international order he's countries are going to come together and certainly impose retaliatory tariffs because they feel that that is the only way to really

make the point that that kind of behavior is not acceptable. all right and we're still waiting for canadian prime minister justin trudeau to come live and read out the joint statement but clear for now we know that president trump left canada early how did that affect the summit and the dynamic between the rest of the leaders. that's right he was both late to arrive and early to leave he's on his way of course to singapore to meet with the north korean leader kim jong un and that sends a strong message to u.s. allies here that that is what he prioritizes that he's very focused on getting a political win at home if it comes to striking any kind of agreement with the north korean leader in what would be a historic summit between a sitting u.s. president and an autocrat of north korea then he is with the smoothing over some of the deeply rooted tensions with some of the united states' closest allies. and speaking of north korea we know that trump has expressed massive amounts of

optimism about this upcoming summit he says looking forward to it he even said in a statement recently that he doesn't think he needs to prepare for it because he just has a good feeling about it did you get the sense that this optimism was shared among the rest of the g seven leaders there a comeback. i don't think anyone is holding their breath but they will certainly be eager to wait and see what happens trump is also in some ways left the door open he said himself we will see what happens and suggested that you know if north korea does not make a good agreement that he's willing to walk away and not meet with kim again certainly it would be a monumental moment if he is able to strakes that if he is able to strike some kind of deal but again i think people are very cautious to have any optimism about the outcome no clear last question we know that this has been a very divisive and tense meeting over what is usually a very close knit and close knit group of compatriots these g seven leaders how did that manifest in the meeting now what sort of signs did we see that things really

weren't going well with trump and the other leaders. well the fact that we had officials kind of casually calling this the g six plus one referring to the six countries taking part and the one being the one standing aside as the united states obviously huge barriers when it came to any kind of productive conversation on trade also the fact that donald trump was skipping out on the meeting about the environment taking place on saturday that's today in which they were going to talk about ways to protect the ocean and reduce climate change which is one of the one of canada the host countries key concerns of this summit has been environmental issues and generally they choose themes that are relatively non-controversial but of course donald trump withdrew the united states from the u.s. paris accord in twenty that was agreed in two thousand and fifteen and so he's made his views quite clear that he's unwilling to compromise on this issue clear richardson covering the g.
