g. seven and what used to be the g eight. well it's quite telling brings up this topic right now while leaving for canada we have no indication that this topic was actually on the hasty seven again and spy calling on russia to be readmitted to this g seven summits he is clearly breaking with the leaders even before they all have got to get over here and can because nothing has changed on the ground russia was expelled from the g eight meetings because of its aggression against ukraine because of its and they say sion of crimea and that as i said has not changed on the ground and i have coverage from since he's integration and i have to say that it's his typical way of dealing with disputes and crisis to us seems to be quite isolated here in canada so he is trying to distract the attention from the disputed topics like such as trade or the iran nuclear agreement he is also trying to show that he's not backing of backing down on any issue that he is actually doubling down and that's his strategy and i'm going to ask donald trump

g. seven to make it back to g.h. again do you think that's going to find support with the other members will find any support. i don't believe so because in the last years since last year the house instructed an office there's been this pushing as you guys know of russian you know involvement in the us election or fake news and infiltration of the us government and right now there's very much an anti russian sentiment among the politicians in the united states as well as with the western allied nations so i don't think that this call for bringing russia into the g seven for the g. eight i don't think that we're going to see that gain much traction unfortunately i do believe that if these nations would just communicate and have a dialogue then things probably would work out for the best but unfortunately it doesn't seem like cooler heads are going to progress or date and also be a man who's the world cup as well coming up to see whether that might have a bearing as well terry gross independent journalist thank you ver

g. seven b. trade bead foreign policy be it the environment so this is what micro is referring to they can act as a g six and maybes do go of shop for other allies around the world of trump is not willing to do that so this is a very very severe spat in the g seven that i have seen that before last year in italy trump was a kind of rehearsing this g. seven summit he just listened but this time it seems that is this is the beginning of the end what about germany chancellor merkel has so far managed to stay above the fray what role is germany likely to play at this summit but the chancellor herself has not issued a tweet or something that is not test diet but i guess she's also somewhat upset or angry it was drummed and you can see that from the economy minister he was doing interviews this morning he says. it was never so open if we achieve anything at the g. seven summit so he's also you know referring to the possible end of this film it would doesn't make sense if the west and as i'm not standing

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 let the u.s. allies know what he thought of their relationship for their strong like well we fought with you when the war which 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 to me in this meeting 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

the g seven countries meet to discuss their. come on issues and that is the g twenty and for talk about the c.e.o. again. i like to emphasize that i. give up because of apart from of the issues. related to fighting terrorism and ensuring security and these were the key issues we've discussed we also have reaffirmed and this is something mr surgeon pink has also said that we have reaffirmed our readiness our willingness. included in that we need to go with all the rules of trade that exists. in the current world in the current global economic system and this is a very statement that will help stabilize our work in this area and our cooperation in this area please the floor and the record and i guess what i'm very cosmonauts would you ask news agency interest let me go back to the. issue at the end of the summit because i agreed on a communique away they called on russia to stop destabilizing the situation. and the world what do you need. to see because you can you comment on this statement. which is was the result of the just seve

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 he can destroy procedures and organizations that of us hold dear just to have a better outcome for america ok ok 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 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 a 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 actually. now this year's g. seven summit is being held in the canadian province of quebec one of the key industries there is fisheries w.'s on claire richardson met some people whose livelihood depends on it and who have been

a g seven x. but this is a listen to what he had to say. instead that we see a cohesive group of seven major western countries rather see even according to some european officials a kind of g six brazil one the other six trying to convince the trump administration about certain things such as climate such as not i'm barking on a trade war on the year and a clear deal then listen to that analysis is this the end of the g seven as we know it at least for now. this summit can certainly be the last g seven summits in this format and it's not only the europeans who are saying this is also the americans the main economic advisor of donald trump has said that the administration will now disregard all international bodies all the multilateral approaches so this could be finally over and this it's no accident that china and russia meeting in parallel to this g. seven summit they're clearly signaling to everybody there's an alternative to this western dominated world we're living in interesting down internat

g. seven summit in canada u.s. president alsheim first railed against unfair trade practices and then proposed removing all tariffs and barriers to trade shortly before leaving the meeting he's 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 the other g seven leaders meanwhile have been preparing a joint statement to be issued at the end of the two day meeting. the battle lines were drawn early in québec. six leaders sat down 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. their differences they do so much more business with us than we do

g. seven and g.twenty have to actually need both concerted fiscal expansion a global new deal you have to have a global new deal that enables countries to expand to get better for employment and prosperity instead of that you are creating a world in which these two tensions are only going to get larger and more aggressive. james bays is in se of war ahead of tuesday's summit between the leaders of u.s. and north korea he says the rift on display ahead of the g seven meeting is unprecedented. but i've been to g. seven meetings for many years including when they were g. eight when russia was involved always a great deal of tension between russia and the others when russia was invited to those meetings never have i seen tension among the seven like we have right now some are even calling it a meeting of the g six plus one on the one that's against the other six is president trump and the united states a year ago i covered the g seven in italy and then there was tension over some of trauma comments his v

g. seven. right carson what do you make of that trump keen on having russia back at the table taking his neck out for russia. yeah but i think you could interpret it like that but i think it was basically just throwing another smoke bomb at the beginning of the g. seven summit in a way it also displays his view of the world he doesn't believe in these traditional alliances let's remember the g seven always was meeting of the leaders of the world's biggest industrialized and democratic nations russia was part of the group as the g. eight for some time because the west hoped that russia would become over time more democratic country. in the western perspective and russia on the puts it has clearly decided doesn't want to be a normal country the way the west wants it wants to be as always been an empire to some extent it once its own sphere of influence and of course in russia itself the state has an iron grip on the putin its author italian state almost to ship and so donald trump doesn't care ab

g. seven is out of kilter. we see a cohesive group of seven major western countries other c. even according to some european officials a kind of g six one the other six trying to convince. mr ration about certain things such as climate such as not. trade war on the. building on political impetus to solve global problems that was the g seven concept forty years ago with finely tuned binding diplomacy as its most important instrument these days that spirit it's hard to find critics say g seven summits have been reduced to pricey talking. outputs of the g seven to my subjective opinion. since recently and then of course the public questions about the usefulness of such a summit which indeed involves lots of preparation lots of time and energy. security expenses. diplomatic tensions aren't the only problems plaguing the g. seven other high level meetings have begun taking the wind out of the group's. shanghai cooperation organization. the brics platform such. africa they have developed. diplomatic activity at leadership level ministerial level of working groups are very very simil

eight is a more meaningful group than the g seven absolutely as for the presence of russia in the g eight we will see for sure italy was traditionally a supporter of the russian presence in the g eight. to top it off the white house announced trump would cut his visit a day short to arrive early in singapore for his meeting with north korean leader kim jong showing a certain lack of respect for the g. seven itself a far cry from obama's experience at meetings in the past few years a virtual love fest for all concerned francis mccrone said the show would go on despite trump's unorthodox behavior you don't maybe the american president doesn't mind being isolated today but we also don't mind being six if need be. a former pentagon security policy analyst michael maloof thinks the trades trouble will get worse before it gets better. but he doesn't agree with the with these countries in terms of trying to maintain their terrorists and in fact increasing them as he pointed out you also got to keep in mind he's not a particular lover of the e.u. countries in the most of these countries are membe

g. seven summit in canada after all seven nations signed a final communique seemingly finding common ground with an agreement on the need for rules based trade us president donald trump withdrew his country's endorsement with a tweet is the first time a g seven gathering has ended without a joint statement and it followed two tense days of talks. is the german chancellor lecturing the u.s. president is the us president being belligerent whichever way you look at this 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 i

g. seven g. seven summit in quebec today left wing protesters have been gathering in quebec city the provincial capital a two hour drive from the resort where the g seven leaders will meet now their anger is directed at political leaders globalization and a lack of action on climate change. as world leaders gather in a luxury resort town this new woman wants them to remember the indigenous people who lived in canada first. the sixty two year old says they should be focusing on how to stop ravaging the mountains and cutting down trees on the reserve where she lives. i want the leaders to stop selling our lands because we still need to go into our forests and practice our incest all rights to go fishing to go hunting to go pick wild fruits. she's joining protesters in the first demonstration against the summit taking place in quebec. this is a march bringing together a wide range of interests but all believe the g seven leaders are wasting time and money without making any real progress and putting

g. seven also we say the g. six plus one is definitely heating up and it's far beyond any kind of financial exchange here now party leaders across the political spectrum in germany have been responding to that the g seven and here's what opposition leader alexander golland of the far right after he had to say. i think trump is far more rational than the german media have long assumed. he has a different agenda for america first and he's making that happen with the resources he has he's been getting laughed at here like a clown but now many have stop laughing. so going to suggesting there that attitude towards attitudes towards president trump are changing and we also heard the italians at the g. seven summit take trump's side in at least one issue so is going to right are we seeing attitudes towards trump changing in europe where we're certainly seeing even the closest allies take a lot more seriously what he promised his electorate we saw you were alluding there to italy also being in favor of russia rejoining

his response quote dishonest and weak the trade was not the only issue dividing trump and the other g seven leaders. i would rather see russia in the g. eight as opposed to the i would say that the g eight is a more meaningful group than the g seven absolutely. here we all agreed that a return to the g. seven format summits can't happen until substantial progress has been made in connection with the problems with canada's position is absolutely clear that there are no grounds whatsoever for bringing russia with its current behavior into the. if there is to be any conversations about russia's future in relation to this particular group they have to change their ways they have to change the route that they're taking and the sort of activity. involved in. it is perhaps no surprise that the summit ended in disarray given that it was riddled with defections from the get go donald quarter takes a closer look you don't maybe the american president doesn't mind being isolated today but we also don't mind being six if need be those faced international oh that is being challenged by the main architec

the fundamental within the g seven. trade.the real worry of the next we'll be speaking to several different. days leading up to this called for the trade war would look like in twenty eighteen and that's the real worry because it affects not just people on the ground it affects the markets it affects industry across the board and across borders. i would not be surprised that also if the markets responded quickly to this what's happened in the in a trade war that has begun here is. many people thought that there would be a negotiation here at the g seven in which trump would revoke those tariffs or possibly camperdown his rhetoric instead this almost makes it certain that the tariffs other countries have announced canada mexico european countries will go forward china as well that suggests that the price of things like steel are going to go up that those automobiles that keep crossing borders under the north american free trade agreement every time they cross a border now that could be an added cost so this could really begin t

g. seven was always a meeting of the seven biggest industrialized and democratic nations russia was a pod of the g eight well that was kind of an expression of the hope or expectation that russia also would become democratic and a more or less normal country from the western point of view but russia on the putin has decided it doesn't want to be just a normal country wants to be an empire with its own sphere of influence and it has become an authoritarian state almost a semi dictatorship so donald trump doesn't care about that for him all the nations are the same to additional allies or foes and he's just interested in what he gets out of his transactional foreign policy america first and he doesn't care about things like human rights and democracy and so on and this is the expression of this so for him if you talk to the big guys then russia and china should be at the table right we will leave it right there carson on naaman in washington as well as thomas ferro here in the studio thanks so much for joining us. remove onto sports now and formula one where sebastian fettle will start on p

g. seven i would say that the g. eight is a more meaningful group than the g seven absolutely yes yes ma'am. did you find the europeans and canadians when they made the case to you that you shouldn't use national security as a justification for terror and they virtually didn't even make their case and we're not my case is the fact that it is national security it's our balance sheet it's our it's our strength it's absolutely national security and you know if you look at our. just take a look at our balance sheet we're going to have a very strong balance sheet verisign because of what i'm doing we have the strongest economy that we've ever had in the united states in the history of the united states we have the best unemployment numbers black unemployment the lowest in history hispanic unemployment the lowest in history i mean the lowest in the last ten years or twenty years the lowest in the history of this country black unemployment is doing the best at seven done hispanic doing the best women are now up to twenty on

g. seven summit there been some really interesting exchanges on twitter ahead of that because you can expect when donald trump is involved terry while the group of seven industrialized nations starts its meeting in canada later today but tensions over trade threatening to overshadow the two day summit u.s. president on the trumps tariffs on steel and aluminum imports have antagonized many of the g seven leaders and the trade war has spilled over into the twitter sphere president emanuel cohen france fired the opening salvo saying the american president may not mind being isolated but neither do we mind signing a six country agreement if need to be trump fires back accusing canada and france of imposing massive terrorist and putting up non-monetary barriers against u.s. exports to their countries well in very interesting tone there let's discuss this now with marcus williams an economist from the university of cent gallon good to have you here with us while reading those tweets and that tone is there any point in coming together for a g seven meeting at all well it's always good to meet in pe

my us waiter welcome to the program following a two day summit of g seven nations canadian prime minister just entered says all seven countries have signed a final communique that's despite trade tensions with the u.s. he also said a trade war would harm workers in the u.s. and canada. i know you'll know that we had some strong firm conversations on trade and specifically american tariffs i reiterated to president trump that these tariffs threaten to harm industry and workers on both sides of our border i stand ready to work closely with the president to resolve this dispute swiftly but as i have consistently said i will always protect canadian workers and canadian interests. and joining me now is our correspondent claire richardson in quebec city following the g. seven summit so claire we did in fact see a signed statement after this you seven summit despite the tensions on the ground where have these leaders found common ground. i think they found common ground in wanting to save face and project a united message that this was not just a summit that drove a wedge more deeply between the

g. seven. oncerning the return of russia to the g eight we never left it our colleagues at time refused to come to russia for the known reasons but we still welcome them and everyone in moscow concerning the comparison of the g seven as the c.e.o. the purchasing parity of countries is bigger yes g seven countries are richer but the scale of the economy is bigger in the su countries but. let's cross live now to china our teams are down your whole can standing by after the russian president just made some comments there to the press covering some issue for example referring to the drama around trump with the g seven currently in effect in quebec in canada what other highlights do you have for us from the f c o on this sunday. other questions to mr bruton surrounding the g. seven meeting were pretty much inevitable given the publicity they've received as we heard there he very much extended an olive branch to mr trump to g seven leaders as well stating they are always welcome in moscow in particula

g. seven again. but meantime and there has been some solidarity is specially among the europeans firing back at the u.s. president denying his request i want to play in fact what the german chancellor angela merkel had to say short while ago with selfless. my apologies i've actually just been told by our team back there that we don't have that quote from the german chancellor but you know alexander if you could just fill us in on on what those reactions have been because i mean they have been strong and and we have really seen these other six countering the one and that is the u.s. that is donald trump. has been talking about russia we have to say that the europeans seem to be very united city in rejecting this plan to russia to be invited again back to the g. seven table and the german chancellor said that she just does agree with what president trump wants to do because russia is still in violation of the international law after it's and akshay sion of crimea and generally speaking i would say that

g. seven summit has wrapped up in canada with all seven nations signing a final communique following a heated debate they pledged to combat protectionism and reduce trade barriers but divisions were on display during the two day meeting 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 early. the battle lines were drawn early in quebec six leaders sat down together for breakfast while the seventh turned up late. a sure sign of the high esteem in which he holds the summit. the advancement of women more protection for 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 apparent 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. right the difference is they do so

g. seven.summit has anything changed i don't think so because we knew before that trump is a protectionist we also knew that the u.s. will implement tariffs on steel newman and we were aware that the european union is planning retaliation measures and that the u.s. may respond to this by raising tariffs on imported cars that means nothing really new and this explains why the market is the sole comes macko said the european union will act against u.s. trade tariffs is that a wise move and what can the e.u. do right now to retaliate. i'm not so sure whether the subs are retaliation policy is the right approach because we voted for the us administration and a minute ago they feel they are treated unfairly and this is simply their perception and when it comes to when it comes to defense expenditure they have a point the western allies in europe they have been promising for years to raise their defense spending to two percent of g.d.p. and germany last year only spend one point two percent and now g

g. seven summit on saturday before the u.s. president set itself on a mission to make peace with an old enemy but there's little hope they'll see eye to eye on the biggest seas of trade all trump suggestion that russia be readmitted to the club john hendren ripples out from quebec city. leaders of seven of the world's wealthiest nations made a show of unity in a fractured family pleasure to have you here just and it's been really great hours earlier after leaders of the g seven annual summit in canada complained of u.s. tariffs trump was less diplomatic. like well we're bored with you with the war which they don't mention the fact that they have trade barriers against farm are isolated on trade trump appeared vaguely hopeful in meetings with french president emanuel mccrone and the summit's host canadian president justin trudeau their relationship is probably better as good or better than it's ever been and i think we'll get to something very beneficial to canada and to the united states believes hours before the summit ends on

g. seven philmont or the g. eight as it was early i think of it is a group based on respect taking international law and the rule of law or agreement with these values contra benefit from russian participation at the moment. i would like the g seven and all the other countries in the world to do more against plastic when they stop start cleaning the scene because thought is in actual fact to do anything to protect the environment. and burial the smoke that goes and it's not democratic what they're doing. deep divides are on display as the leaders of the world's largest seven economies meet in quebec canada this weekend this year's meeting has been described as far more of a g six plus one rather than a g seven highlighting the isolation of the us from its global allies now tension has been building with over a year of provocative u.s. policy making including the recently announced tariffs on the e.u. canada and mexico and already there has been no shortage of drama at the summit itself with the us president arri
