After slamming Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “very dishonest and weak,” President Trump on Saturday (June 9) said he was making “false statements” following the G-7 economic summit.

At a news conference held in Charlevoix, Canada, Trudeau announced that all seven countries in the summit had agreed on “a joint communique.

He wrote on his Twitter:

“Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!”

However, a subsequent tweet from Trump backed away from that notion and pointed to lingering divisions.

Due to Trudeau’s “false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies,” Trump said he told “our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!”

He also wrote on his Twitter:

“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!”

In a follow-up tweet, Trump targeted Trudeau again, saying he “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,” Trump continued. “Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!”
