War of words as G7 meets

Trump backs Russia's reentry in the group; US allies fume on trade

Agencies
Leaders of the Group of Seven rich nations headed for a summit in Canada yesterday more divided than at any time in the group's 42-year history, as US President Donald Trump's "America First" policies risk causing a global trade war and deep diplomatic schisms.
In a bid to rebuild America's industry, Trump has imposed hefty tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, including those from key G7 allies like Canada, Japan and the European Union.
Trump has threatened to use national security laws to do the same for car imports and has walked back on environmental agreements and an international deal to prevent Iran from building a nuclear bomb.
And Trump caused more eyebrows to be raised by telling reporters that he wanted Russia -which was expelled from the group of the world's most industrialized nations after annexing Crimea - to be brought back into the fold.
"They threw Russia out. They should let Russia come back in because we should have Russia at the negotiating table," he said before boarding Air Force One.
French President Emmanuel Macron, who has invested in a warm personal relationship with Trump, said the other G7 nations - Britain, Canada,
Germany, Italy and Japan, as well as France - should remain "polite" and productive but warned that "no leader is forever," a sign that Europe would not surrender meekly to the US president.
"Maybe the American president doesn't care about being isolated today, but we don't mind being six, if needs be," Macron told reporters. "Because these six represent values, represent an economic market, and more than anything, represent a real force at the international level today."
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau predicted "robust discussions" on trade, but
other G7 members like Japan and Italy seemed less likely to want to challenge the US president.
Trump fired back soon after on Twitter, addressing both leaders directly, saying they were charging "massive tariffs" on US goods and had erected other trade barriers.
"I look forward to seeing them tomorrow," Trump wroteThursday ahead of the two-day summit
Trump will leave the summit today morning before the summit closes, the White House said in a statement late on Thursday. He will skip the climate and environment part of the summit.
