President Trump characterized Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “indignant” about trade issues ahead of this weekend’s G7 summit in Quebec.
“Prime Minister Trudeau is being so indignant, bringing up the relationship that the U.S. and Canada had over the many years and all sorts of other things,” Trump wrote on Twitter Thursday night.
“…but he doesn’t bring up the fact that they charge us up to 300% on dairy — hurting our Farmers, killing our Agriculture!”
Earlier, Trump tweeted that traditional allies Canada and France were “charging the U.S. massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers.”
Trump’s grumbling comes as he is headed to meet with leaders from the U.K., Canada, Japan, Italy, Germany and France at the annual G7 summit.
Trump has struck a notably different tone about the upcoming summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
The president has called Kim “very honorable” and noted that they “probably” have a “very good relationship.”
