photo posted on instagram by angle americans office you can't ignore the tension that tension was evident before during and even after the g. seven summit ended in canada donald trump made sure of that he'd already angered his allies by slapping tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from canada the european union and mexico and he used the g seven meeting to demand better trade deals for the u.s. while warning against retaliation. tell you to make it a mistake 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 and with that trump left the show five hours

early but even with his warning in mind justin trudeau still felt obliged to promise his own retaliatory tariffs. i highlighted directly to the president that canadians did not take it lightly. that the united states has moved forward with significant tariffs on our steel and aluminum industry particularly did not take lightly the fact that it's based on a national security reason that its kind of insulting. those comments infuriated president trump he tweeted from on board air force one that he would no longer endorse the joint summit statement and threaten to impose even more tariffs he said pm justin trudeau acted so me can mild jewing on g seven meetings only to give a news conference saying that u.s. tariffs what kind of insulting very dishonest and weak. the canadian prime his

office has sought to play down the frak ah but with the threat of an international trade war a step closer it doesn't look like any of these leaders have much to smile about well for more i'm joined now here in the studio by handing a fake i he's from the think tank the german council on foreign relations heading thanks so much for joining us so strange scenes first there's an agreement then there's tweets by donald trump is this kind of disarray at the g. seven a sign that this very important forum is perhaps falling apart. i would not draw that conclusion i think the g seven a very strong forum of the strongest nations they have a dense agenda working on many issues of global governance governance that will go on. although this one is a very strong example of how things can go wrong that they in that circle give
10:05 am
press statements about about the end of free trade among the g seven this is horrible and the fact that trump is hopping from accepting a conclusion to withdrawing simply as a sort of revenge to to produce i mean this is a bit ridiculous but it shows that this meeting will be kept in mind this is a focal point when you think about what to avoid in the future well i'd like to ask you about this photo that went viral our reports started out by highlighting this it was of the german chancellor do we have that photo of the german chancellor angela merkel a during a meeting with trump sort of you know put their hands on the table there it is we can see it right there. you know that body language speaks volumes what does it tell us. it tells us that the u.s. has been isolated in this meeting that all the others wanted to go along with the
10:06 am
gender free trade but also on the environment jobs and growth and he blocked all that because of the insistence on the trade trade war that he talks about. the fact that this photo and the narrative from the american side differ is for me a sign that the u.s. is aware that this isolation doesn't play well in the public public eye that this should be like a correction kind of a fake picture from from from trump not going to mention to our viewers so what we're seeing now is it was a sort of photo of that same scene. which was published by by the americans so the same scene a very different perspective something that becomes a compass very sensitive about that i think he's a communicator and if you see when seeing that this communication might go wrong. he's trying to correct it all right well in his own words donald trump kept
10:07 am
insisting and during the summit that it wasn't contentious at all and he was willing to agree to that joint statement initially at least what it had been in freeze them they have agreed on a number of. vacant and conceptual terms that. fulfill international trade is important that. peace needs to be secure that any kind of growth needs to take those with them that are most vulnerable all that is fine but the queen community also stated the u.s. wants in terms of climate protection and environmental protection the u.s. wants to press ahead with the export of for so fuel and wants to wants to do this in a sustainable way while the others agree that it is important to protect the oceans so it was a document that was actually laying down the differences as well all right having a go from the german council of foreign relations do stay with us he has will be
10:08 am
speaking again shortly well meanwhile as the g seven was meeting in canada russian president vladimir putin said he is ready to hold a summit with u.s. president donald trump if washington was willing and made the statement at a meeting of the shanghai cooperation organization in qingdao china's president xi seemed paint hosted world leaders including iranian president hassan rowhani indian prime minister narendra modi and russian president vladimir putin the iranian leaders said he appreciates efforts by beijing and moscow to maintain the nuclear deal which the united states pulled out of last month's. all right having want to ask you about that meeting in shanghai so the putin she and rouhani were very keen to demonstrate unity especially as after the chaotic scenes at the g seven what does this tell us when it's an opportunity that the chinese and russian
10:09 am
leaders wouldn't wouldn't drop actually to to show that they that they care that of course china especially but also russia call the shots when it comes to to regional security in asia and the middle east that they stand aside with the agreement with iran which is important because iran needs a sort of compensation for the same sins that america is now imposing on iran and on companies doing business with iran and. i believe the state companies in china especially close to the close to the state at least to do business with with the energy sector in iran. they can they can make a difference there and so so this unity gives an idea that some countries act responsibly that's the message and keep the ring a nuclear program at bay well russia of course was kicked out of what was a g. eight summit after it's an extension of crimea so what kind of role is russia now playing at the summit in china russia wants to play. wherever it can roll
10:10 am
of responsible international leader wants to be taken in this is why it's sometimes creating conflicts that make it necessary that that russia is on the table again i think that russia sees itself as a sort of protector of the shia groups including iran and wants that wants to make sure that. iran is in good hands the issue but also that we don't need america actually to make. global governance and to care for the stability of the world on the side of the authoritarian regimes like china and russia and you take a from the german council on foreign relations many thanks indeed for all your insight. and while the story develops north korean leader kim jong un has arrived in singapore for his summit with president trump kim's plane landed at changi airport shortly before three pm local time cameras later concept of an official motorcade leaving the airport trump is set to arrive from come back later today at

and i think that helps people sense that justice is being done the state interior minister has urged that in future airports have specialized staff to check travel documents written in arabic from the g. seven summit in canada chancellor angela merkel extended her sympathy to the victim's family. the inconceivable suffering that this family is going through also effects me deeply and i can only say how good it is that the alleged perpetrator has been arrested. the cooperation between german and kurdish security officials worked well. because police arrested the young man say he admitted to the crime. there was an altercation between them and the girl threatened to call the police and report him. a conflict that escalated and that's what led to the young man
