POTUS TGIF

Submitted by ub on

Trump Gets Intensely Flanked on Friday when he goes to G7 alone near the end zone. FLOTUS says she's is not going. Would some of America's established trading partners prefer it if POTUS stayed away and turned it into a G6? We'll have to wait and see, believe me.

A frosty and chilly reception is expected at the G7 Summit in Canada The US has not been isolated from allies in more than 100 years. America, the leader of the western alliance, is not acting like it and it has not been this way for a very long time.

The attacks launched by Trump's White House against our longtime allies are bound to cause friction during the upcoming talks. POTUS is reportedly complaining about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, complaining that he doesn't want to be lectured and has griped about Germany' Angela Merkel and Britain's Theresa May.

Quebec Canada's Charlevoix region is now a fortress as the G7 summit gears up to shield seven world leaders from outside disturbances. 10,000 security personnel, including The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, will make sure protestors are kept far from the summit to be held at Manoir Richelieu. I once visited this luxury resort and I can assure you it has a spectacular view of the St. Lawrence River. The one problem is this farm area comes with the smell of fertilizer.

The G7 group is made up of #Canada, #France, #GreatBritain, #Italy, #Germany, #USA and the EU also attends. Tariffs will overshadow the G7 summit, The big question is can a trade war be averted?
