President Trump is lashing out at Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over commerce points. In a collection of offended tweets, Trump referred to as Trudeau "very dishonest and weak" and stated the United States will not be taken benefit of.
Tweeting from Singapore the place he is scheduled to maintain a nuclear summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, Trump wrote: "Sorry, we cannot let our friends, or enemies, take advantage of us on trade anymore. We must put the American worker first!"
Sorry, we can't let our mates, or enemies, take benefit of us on Trade anymore. We should put the American employee first!

The president ruffled feathers at the G7 summit, not backing down from stiff tariffs on aluminum and metal imports.
Trudeau promised to struggle again by slapping his personal tariffs on American items.
The Trump administration has fired again, White House commerce advisor Peter Navarro saying, "There's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engaged in bad faith diplomacy with President Donald J Trump, and then tries to stab him in the back on the way out the door."
PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and gentle throughout our @G7 conferences solely to give a information convention 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!

"POTUS is not going to let a Canadian Prime Minister push him around," stated Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council. "He is not going to permit any show of weakness on the trip to negotiate with North Korea. Kim must not see weakness."
The president refused to signal a solidarity settlement with the different G7 members and instructed extra tariffs may very well be in the works.
