Pres. Trump says there was 'great unity' at the G-7 summit. Trump's characterization comes after evident tensions at the summit over Trump's trade wars—especially with China.
President Donald Trump on Monday said there was"great unity" at the G-7 summit at a news conference he held with French President Emmanuel Macron at the conclusion of the annual meeting of world leaders.
"I believe they want to do a deal. The tariffs have hit them very hard," he adds https://t.co/b7tyayxZDd pic.twitter.com/Na8KY9UFmA Calling it a “very positive development for the world,” Trump said that the Chinese called U.S. trade negotiators Sunday night and talks will resume"very shortly." Soon thereafter, President Trump and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin insisted there had been communications.Treasury Secretary Mnuchin later added: “There were discussions that went back and forth. Let's just leave it at that.”
Trump interpreted the statement positively, telling reporters: “I think it's a very good word to use, calm. Not a word that I use that often. But it's a good word to use.” But hours after making those comments, the White House argued that the president’s statement had been"misinterpreted.” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement that the only second thought the president was having was that “he regrets not raising the tariffs higher."
