Trump blasts Canada's Trudeau for 'false statements'; says U.S. will not endorse G-7 communique https://t.co/HfcYrSq6C2
— Washington Post (@washingtonpost) June 9, 2018
The G7 countries found a way to come up with a joint statement that papered over their vast differences with Trump. Trump is now saying he's rejecting the statement because he's angry at Trudeau's (quite restrained) news conference.

Just finished my first read through of the G7 communique, taking notes. Looked up to find the US has withdrawn from it by tweet, about eight minutes after it was published. Utterly astonishing

In a huge blowup to end the G7 summit, Trump refuses to sign communique, citing “Justin’s false statements at his news conference.”
— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) June 9, 2018
PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around.” Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!

when Trump talks about crazy tariffs of “25, 50 or even 100 per cent” it’s a wild, wild exaggeration – here’s the truth of the matter via @ft https://t.co/y2BuYfdnFA pic.twitter.com/Doq70AHfoc

Good example of how journalism is failing in the Trump era.
Given the information offered here, a lot of people will reflexively support the US president against a foreign leader who is making “false statements.”
But of course, Trudeau didn’t make false statements. pic.twitter.com/VB93WPSv7D

I am on my way to Singapore where we have a chance to achieve a truly wonderful result for North Korea and the World. It will certainly be an exciting day and I know that Kim Jong-un will work very hard to do something that has rarely been done before…
