President Trump lashed out at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Saturday after leaving the G7 meetings early to attend peace talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Upon leaving the summit the President tweeted his disapproval of the weak and dishonest Trudeau for all the world to see –
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!

This was after Justin Trudeau took a couple of pot-shots at President Trump after he left the summit.
Trudeau promised to impose retaliatory tariffs against US products after Trump left the meetings in Canada.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he will impose retaliatory measures to answer President Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum: “Canadians: we’re polite, we’re reasonable, but we also will not be pushed around.” https://t.co/qtUL2rS6Ik pic.twitter.com/z4Kw1DzdqA

The President preceded the above tweet with a tweet about the PM’s statements being false at his news conference –
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!
