singapore the u.s. president steps off air force one on what he calls his mission of peace he's there for tuesday's historic talks with north korean leader kim jong on the far right in singapore earlier. i'm irish waiter thanks for joining us a deepening rift among allies after this weekend's g. seven summit in canada following two days of tense talks all seven leaders and doris a final communique seemingly finding an agreement for the on the need for quote rules based international trade but then president trump withdrew his endorsement with a tweet drawing harsh criticism from the u.s. as traditional allies in an interview on german t.v. chancellor angela merkel warned the european union will retaliate against u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum that washington post last month donald. trump claims

there needed to address the country's trade deficit with many of its partners. to do so. did abuse chief political correspondent joins me now for analysis of this reaction to the weekend's g. seven summit so let's start with the interview with chancellor merkel she gave short notice and she gave a short while ago let's see how she describes how she views the growing discord within washington. issue is not great and that is why i have talked about sobering which is a lot to me. like you call it depressing but personally i don't believe. that you continuation of this heated language will help the issue. she says that heated language isn't the answer and that is what is. well i guess creating some fact she made it quite clear that she would stand side by side with

the canadians who will be imposing those tariffs and this is really why trump in the air decided not to sign off or not to agree to this joint communique is because justin trudeau said that the that can that would impose tariffs just in response to those u.s. tariffs now the e.u. will do exactly the same and the e.u. didn't vote to make this as vocal at that particular occasion but those certainly are the facts and everybody is concerned that the photos facts will also pile up and not just the language in that we may be heading right into a trade war mack would like to see more talks not less in fact she was also asked about relations between russia and the u.s. and she would also like to see donald trump sit down and spend some more time with reading a putin america was also asked if this weekend spells the end of the transatlantic partnership and here's what she had to say on that. no i don't think

so there are good reasons to continue fighting for it from our side but we cannot simply rely on it we have to ask ourselves where we can act on line that of course means new responsibilities for europe and it is especially means that we in europe need to be loyal to ourselves. so michael is calling for a unified response from europe there how unified is europe looking these days not physically unified takes a long time to find a common position on key policy issues like russia for instance and even then it's tricky to negotiate and balance those interests and going back to herself that she's the one who's holding together that front when it comes to basically the punishment for russia for the invasion of crimea. tariffs that i post from the european side but at the same time we keep hearing that message from the that there

needs to be a joint policy also on defense and here she also made a point of still counting the brits and even post for access the need is there the big question now is will the external pressure that is there on the e.u. at this very moment in time be enough to slough it into say of course merkel hasn't been the only one responding to the outcome of this weekend's summit let's take a look at some of the other reactions. canada's pm didn't want to talk about it but the flux of reporters waiting in the wings do you know the reaction to. that carol he dodged the questions about the us a surprise rejection of the summits closing document canada's foreign minister objected to the substance of trump's decision rather than his style what is insulting and what i object to very strongly is the illegal and unjustified intersection of tariffs on canadian steel and.

the street the national security pretext is absurd and frankly insulting to canadians meanwhile european leaders have joined in the criticism of france as a manual mccoll lambasted trump for rejecting the g seven communique same statement it showed washington's quote incoherence and. germany's foreign minister also had harsh words for the u.s. president social media diplomacy my comments right up to you can destroy trust within seconds with two hundred eighty twitter characters. rebuilding it takes longer. we now must keep cool and take the appropriate steps one of those will be standing up for our interests in europe in a much more united fashion for. russia's president vladimir putin weighed in on the war of words after a g. seven statement criticize russia for what it called its destabilizing behavior. i

think it's time to stop all this idle talk creative idle talk and get to issues related to real cooperation and cooperation with moscow looks to be on washington's agenda with trump seen russia should rejoin what was once the g eight putin suggested his door was still open if the group's leaders were willing to hold talks in moscow on russia's terms. a lot of criticism there for washington it seems like there's just cracks showing everywhere is this the end of the g seven was the end of the g seven as we knew it also for us on this i kept getting us in the pos what's the point of it they seem to all agree on certain things and the old same struggles remain the same we can't say that about this one if anything the need to talk has become more relations between the u.s. and other countries assisted away from the capital washington state level for so we know that from the german side lots of. our chief political editor thank you so much for your insights. and this is the venue for the historic

north korea summit the luxurious capella hotel on santo's island off the coast of singapore donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un are due to meet here on tuesday morning kim was the first to arrive in singapore and has already met with the country's prime minister trying to fall out a few hours later expectations are high for tickler lee in the united states our washington correspondent alison rafah naaman gathered some opinions. will their meeting be more than a photo op a breakthrough or a disaster times decision to hold the summit called friends and foes off guard and blindsided his own aides proving once again how unpredictable this you ask president is it is good that this summit is taking place says mark to cola a former state department official and an expert on korea to cola sees it as a chance for diplomacy and things it is promising that president trump suggested this could be the start of

a longer process takes the pressure off to have more than one meeting because if you made it all about one meeting the chances of failure would be would be too serious i think being able leave things for future beatings having a process start up is going to be good for everybody. trump coordinates his efforts with south korea japan and china but ultimately he relies on himself president says he's a monster deal maker and doesn't need much preparation and extremely on the usual approach towards such difficult talks. for sanctions relief and economic growth in return put it in nuclear is a north korea but is that enough we've try it before says bruce clinger the former cia deputy division chief for korea clean there doesn't trust the regime in pyongyang. we've had eight international agreements in the past with north korea where they first promise never to build nuclear weapons and then promise to give up

the weapons or promise never to build in the first place and all have failed we're we're hopeful that this time will be different but i think we do have to be pragmatic about. the summit is a boat building a relationship with him but he also promises to walk over to the meeting if it's not fruitful the truth is this is a gamble and no one knows how it's going to do no. could i don't know if i'm conventional approach brink a breakthrough some here in washington actually believe it's worse that's right but most experts remain skeptical they believe that this summit in singapore will be a little more than the photo op followed by long negotiations. and potentially an even longer phase of implementation and verification enough time for the north korean regime to play its usual game making extracting concessions and in
