Trump says world leaders 'getting along very well' at G-7 summit despite trade tensions
But since arriving, Trump has sought to paint a picture of unity and blamed the media for suggesting there would be tensions during this year’s gathering.
“We are having very good meetings,” Trump tweeted. “The Leaders are getting along very well, and our Country, economically, is doing great - the talk of the world!” ....bad Economic times, the worse the better, anything to make my Election more difficult to win. Well, we are having very good meetings, the Leaders are getting along very well, and our Country, economically, is doing great - the talk of the world!Trump told reporters the leaders had a “lively discussion” on whether Russia should be allowed back into the group and said it was “certainly possible” they will invite Russia next year when the U.S. is the host.
In his first meeting with Johnson as British prime minister, Trump said his new counterpart was the “right man for the job” and that he thinks he can get a trade deal done with the U.K. quickly.Johnson joked that Trump was"on message" and praised the president for America's economic performance, but he did offer one note of caution on the issue that has loomed over the summit.
"Just to register a faint sheep-like note of our view on the trade war," he said."We're in favor of trade peace."
