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 but that's just why i have talked about. she's looking to me. like you call it depressing but personally i don't believe that a continuation of this heated language will help the issue. so she says that he did language isn't the answer and that is what is well i guess creating some facts so 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 decided not to sign off or not to agree to this joint communique is because

justin trudeau said that the candor 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 writing 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. that's going to be good no i don't think sorry there were 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 and 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 america 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 so those tariffs that are imposed from the european side but at the same time we keep hearing that message really 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 exit 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 shape now 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 we did in the wings did it with no reaction to. it he dodged the questions about the u.s. a surprise rejection of the summit 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 into position of tariffs on canadian steel and aluminum on the street the national security pretext is absurd and frankly insulting to canadians

meanwhile european leaders have joined in the criticism france's among you will mccaw lambasted trump for rejecting the g seven communicate sane in a statement it showed washington's quote incoherence and inconsistency germany's foreign minister also had harsh words for the us 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 are one of those will be standing up for our interests in europe in a much more united fashion for most of. 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 create a vital talk and get to issues related to real cooperation since the bush cooperation with moscow looks to be on washington's agenda with trump seeing 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 yes. a lot of criticism there for washing of 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 john this i kept getting us in the pos what's the point of it they seem to will agree on certain things and the old same struggles remain the same but we can't say that about this one. if anything the need to talk has become more but certainly relations between the u.s. and other countries assisted away from the capital washington to that state level for so we know that from the german side lots of talks going on the. chief political editor at our surveillance thank you so much for your insights. and this is the venue for the historic north korea summit the luxurious kept telling 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 trump followed a few hours later expectations are high for tickler lee in the united states washington correspondent alex under a phenomenon gather 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 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 alternately here allies on himself the president says he's a master dealmaker and doesn't need much preparation and extremely unusual approach toward such difficult talks trumps offer sanctions relief and economic growth in return for the nuclear is ation of 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 single poor will be little more than the photo op followed by long negotiations over the details of an agreement and potentially an even longer phase of implementation and verification enough time for the north korean regime to play its usual game making promises extracting concessions and in the end not giving up its nuclear program. now to some of the other stories making news around the world
