rick lesson that you is live on the streets of quebec city. rick? >> shepard, we're outside the national assembly where police with riot gear have lined up in anticipation of a planned mass protest here. the largest one of the day we're told. it was supposed to start now. we're told that there are -- throw is a small group of demonstrators headed this way, but we haven't seen them yet for the most part. this city has been fairly calm, perhaps in large part because the summit is actually 88 miles away. they scheduled it up there to try to minimize the disruption to the g-7 and the result has been a fairly quiet situation here in quebec city. there was an incident this morning where a group of about 100 protesters blocked a highway that leads to the bay. they faced off with riot police there. they set a couple of couches on fire. they were chanting anti-capitalist slogans. they did square off and there were a couple of arrests. the police eventually dispersed that crowd. >> my goal is to end. maybe it's a big thing for today. that's why we just tried

joining me now is our correspondent claire richardson she is in quebec city clear that some tough talk from the u.s. president how did that message go down with the other g seven leaders are they going to now think twice about those retaliatory tariffs. hi matt this is indeed trump doubling down on his view that the united states is getting the bad end of a deal from agreements that weren't really that were negotiated under his predecessors he really has this view that the u.s. has losing out he also called america the piggy bank that everyone is robbing but look at these steel and aluminum tariffs that went into effect at the end of last month have overshadowed this entire summit it's been a really sore point because key u.s. allies see it as unfair trading practices from the united states and a close ally that they thought they could count on canada even called them illegal and this has been an issue that has really taken center stage of throughout the talks now it seems clear that the other members of the g six that have said that they would impose retaliatory tariffs in response ar

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 u.s. and its partners now we heard we just heard there at them saying that they had come to that he had raised the issue of tariffs with donald trump referring of course it to the steel and aluminum tariffs that went into effect at the end of last month and this has been something that has been a real sore point throughout the summit the fact that u.s. allies see it as unfair trading practices canada went as far as to call these tariffs illegal and they have of course said that they are going to impose retaliatory it tariffs in order to try and maintain some semblance of fair trading practices so in some ways we're really seeing them kick the can down the road

quebec city. one of the oldest european settlements in north america. sailed up the st. lawrence and founded this site in 1608. when the fighting started with you-know-who, quebec city was the french stronghold. until the bitter end, when the french fell at the plains of abraham. ♪ the french may have lost that one, but some things french have stayed firm, unbowed, resiliently unchanged by trends or history. le continental is the kind of place about which i am unreservedly sentimental.

let's go live now to john hundreds who is in quebec city john have we seen any interaction between any of the leaders send far we still just examining the body language. we have seen some interaction it was interesting to see donald trump shake hands with justin trudeau all smiles both of them to those wife by his side when he arrived especially after trump made statements like the one that you just played there he had been tweeting rather bitter tweets about the u.s. being mistreated in his eyes by canada and by european countries when it comes to trade and of course you had justin trudeau and emanuel mccrone meeting a day ahead of this in talking about how they were going to talk to trump in saying all these things in a press conference being an avid television watcher despite his protestations to the contrary was certainly aware of all those things so you have people saying all of these things a head of this summit about you. other and then meeting and they're all smiles so predictably there was some tension here but not tension that you could see on camera but you also had meeting

joined by some of his top economic advisers here on the ground in quebec city. he has made it clear that trade is the top issue on his agenda, even as many of the european allies want to talk about iran, the paris deal they want to talk about a lot of these issues on which there has been some significant division between them and the white house in the past. earlier today, donald tusk, the president of the european council, was among eu leaders briefing reporters he was asked about that comment that trump made to reporters this morning about russia and the possibility that russia gets reinvited or rejoins the g7. and tusk did not mince words he said what's actually needed more importantly is for america, which has historically been what he called the guarantor of world order. there are enough challenges. certainly many of those challenges will be boiling over today. the eu and canada are threatening retaliation against the u.s., beginning in about three weeks time for steel and aluminum tariffs that the president put in place a week ago. so, we will see whether
