G7 summit might conclude without a joint communique for first time ever

With two days to go until G7 leaders gather in Charlevoix, Quebec, summit participants have yet to agree on a final communique, according to reports by the German Press Agency (DPA).

Citing a source in Berlin, the press agency reports that disagreements with U.S. President Donald Trump over trade and climate change policies could lead the Charlevoix summit to conclude without the usual joint communique for the first time in G7 history.

The planned pre-negotiated consensus communique by the group of seven leading industrial nations — Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States — "is hanging in the balance," the agency said.

Speaking on background, officials in the Prime Minister's Office did not deny the German report but said they "won't prejudge the outcomes of negotiations between leaders" and "are looking forward to working together on the big issues."

and become the G6, trump offers nothing to anyone, anywhere.
Trump would want the communique to be about how wonderful he is and how his crowds are bigger than Obama's.

golf courses, I doubt they would be up to trump's standards, there's a McDonald's and a PFK,(KFC) down the road in La Malbaie, very scenic place, I'm sure trump won't look at anything, cept his reflection in windows & mirrors.

It's where the Laurentian mountains, meet the St. Lawrence river.
Beautiful area, I'm sure trump will miss the scenery.
