Trump ramps up feud with Canada, France ahead of G-7 summit

Trump ramped up a burgeoning feud with two of the United States' closest allies, Canada and France, on Thursday as he prepared to head to Quebec for what is expected to be a tense summit this week.

In a tweet on Thursday night, Trump accused Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of being "indignant" in his protests against steep U.S. tariffs imposed last week on steel and aluminum imports.

"Prime Minister Trudeau is being so indignant, bringing up the relationship that the U.S. and Canada had over the many years and all sorts of other things...but he doesn’t bring up the fact that they charge us up to 300% on dairy — hurting our Farmers, killing our Agriculture!" Trump tweeted.





The tweet followed shortly after he called out both Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron over what he suggested was Canada and Europe's one-sided trade arrangements with the U.S.

So they're indignant because they fight back against your bullshit.

Unfortunately, one has to assume that anything this president says or tweets is false until proven otherwise.
