that and he's apparently looking into new tariffs so the trade war that everyone else here at the g six had hoped to deescalate has in fact accelerated it's hard to say where it will go from here or whether these guys will make up but what's interesting is that trudeau has used language like that before and trump in the past just fired back with some tweets criticizing trudeau criticizing the way canada and europe operate and trade barriers this one though really seemed to affect trump and now that you seven appears in disarray indeed that's the trade war is leaving as i think we all assume it will be the canadian prime minister obviously will not like the description given to him by trying but i'm more or less calling him a liar. exactly endo week one which the canadian prime minister cannot really afford with his domestic audience here he was trying it seemed to tread the line between being diplomatic and being strong as canadians wanted him to do people are upset about these trade tariffs but trump is also concerned about his domestic audience he wants to look strong which of course

seven and we've also seen that from some of the reactions that have come from the remaining g. six they say we have to stick together as a group of six even though the united states might go in a community different direction so i can see this particular problem at the end of the g. seven the fact there was a communique and there wasn't a communique at least from those that it was a sign that he's willing again to make sure that this america. is and remains his most important goal in office or at let's hold the thought of the six on one dynamic at this summit let's see just how tense this meeting could get a revealing photo published by the german government shows this shows chancellor angela merkel in a surprisingly imposing position leading into war trump this photo went viral on social media it was put up on the screen it was one of the most popular posts ever on the chancellor's instagram with over forty thousand likes on this picture was you know also a pretty big hit elsewhere on social media on twitter some users like one that we're about to pick out here said it there is no

radically altered japan was much stronger west germany was much stronger europe in general so you form a g six and later on russia was involved as well and became a g eight but the world situation changes so i think these international relations and organizations and regimes they do shift over time but i think in regard to the other security and other questions there is a dish you about the kind of international agreements but i don't think there's necessarily going to be a major change on the security front because of the trade dispute while another international agreement that donald trump has of course as the iran nuclear deal mr takeshita french president has also said that the u.s. presence abrogation last month of that deal casts doubt on the credibility of a nuclear agreement with north korea does he have a point there. well i would say that all this turmoil is certainly causing again it will regress back into the relationship of doing business at the end of the day because obviously like you say there's an indirect sanction that will be imposed to mirror the european nations and for th

this the other six countries of the g seven are a bigger market than the us there is no global hegemony if we know how to organize ourselves maybe the american president doesn't mind being isolated today but we also don't mind being six if need be if we're going to continue to defend our industry in our workers but i also know that our citizens expect us to resolve our differences and show him that his actions are unacceptable. the seems like donald trump himself is preparing for a tough miss fear about the g seven he has tweeted that he is ready to quote fights with his fellow world leaders over the issue and recently we've heard much concern from you politicians who've called the tariffs illegal a political mistake and unacceptable this is very unfortunate it will not be a g seven it will be a g. six for the age of i don't mean you want to die the problem is if you're closer to the sun for there to be earlier i spoke to rahm poor former u.s. congressman and founder of the wrong paul institute for peace and prosperity he believes that trump will actually enjoy the upcoming g. seven sum

well there has been talk that this meeting is that now is called the g six plus one that is of courseeveryone except for the united states and they've made pretty clear that they're able to find common ground on certain issues chancellor angela merkel said that the europeans had decided on many things together ahead of the meeting and it just goes to show how increasingly isolated the united states has become in this meeting the fact that these leaders are still going to go ahead with the environment meeting that i mentioned earlier and continue to try to come to some consensus even without the united states president of the united states taking part to clear richardson for us in a very windy thank you very much. now to some of the other stories making news around the world as g seven leaders meet in canada chinese president xi jinping opened a two day regional summit of the shanghai cooperation organization or as c.e.o. in king dow attendees included russia and iran the opening ceremony featured fireworks and a spectacular light show the s.d.o. is confronting rising tensions with the

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 the

left in a state of division ahead of the singapore talks what options do the other members of the g sixhave now or the g seven have now as they decide how they move forward . i think that's a very important question how are they going to react are they going to act as a block are they going to try and confront the u.s. or are they going to try and paper over this that will be difficult this is absolutely unprecedented what we've seen yes when we have the g. eight we used to have divisions between russia and the rest of the seven but we've never have these divisions among the seven a year ago i was in sort of the sicily at the g. seven and they agreed to disagree on climate change that's what they were going to do in this communique the issues have grown it's not just climate change it's the trade war it's the iran deal but they were going to try to agree to disagree but of course trump pulled out of that communique and is no longer endorsing it worth perhaps reminding you sammy what the g seventy is it was originally grew out of something called the library group guess that library is t
