What indication was there that trump would welcome them with open arms regardless?

In an extraordinary interview with CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, Larry Kudlow, who was present for negotiations at the G7 summit in Quebec over the weekend, said Trudeau had instigated “a betrayal” and was “essentially double-crossing President Trump”.

Trudeau used a media conference on Saturday to reject a US demand for a sunset clause in the North American trade agreement, Nafta, that Trump has at different times pressed to abolish or renegotiate. The prime minister also said Canada would “move forward with retaliatory measures” in response to the Trump administration’s move to impose tariffs on aluminium and steel imports from the European Union, Mexico and Canada.

The G7 communique said the leaders of seven of the most powerful countries in the world agreed on the need for “free, fair and mutually beneficial trade” and the importance of fighting protectionism.

Kudlow added that Trump had made the decision to pull out of the agreement in an attempt to save face ahead of his historic summit with North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, in Singapore.

“Potus [the president of the United States] is not going to let a Canadian prime minister push him around – push him, Potus around, on the eve of this,” Kudlow said. “He is not going to permit any show of weakness on the trip to negotiate with North Korea. Nor should he.”

A representative of Trudeau did not respond to a request for comment but Canadian foreign minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters in Quebec City: “Canada does not conduct its diplomacy through ad hominem attacks … and we refrain particularly from ad hominem attacks when it comes from a close ally.”

Anything Freeland said pales in comparison to the thing Trump's thrown our way. Did you guys just forget about that part? Or is it that you hate Trudeau so much you want the whole fucking country to suffer so he does too?

That maybe true but knowing Trump he will punch back harder and knock her straight outa the ballpark.

Watch foe a snap election in the fall if the talks fail.

They should have stopped being so retarded before the election.
And taken the microphone away from Justine.


Now ?
Best thing for the Lieberals is to walk away, blame it all on Trump, call an election,

and set new debt records for putting you, your children
and grandchildren to pay for all the unemployment that is coming.

Maybe not exactly open arms but we were doing pretty good up to this point.

Freeland must either be a sociopath or an idiot because despite her assertion to the contrary she went right out and poked the bear again.

This is beyond coincidence and I defy anyone to show me that Trudeau and his gov't aren't manufacturing crisis in an attempt to look like "tough world leaders" who can stand up to America and Trump. And, I certainly don't believe that this gov't could be so stupid that when this whole renegotiating schmozzle started they didn't understand what and who they're dealing with.

I hope if this band of asshats does mananage to get reelected it's worth it for them because, their insults and inopportune actions are going to end up costing the Canadian population dearly.

It's like dealing with some truly twisted mentalities, like they watched the first three and a half seasons of Game of Thrones and came to the conclusion somehow that Joffrey Lannister was actually the hero of the whole story. If Trump was walking in front of them and came to a sudden stop they'd suddenly be tasting the pancakes he had for breakfast from their tongues going so far up his ass.

He did much worse to the Mexicans, and they have a deal.
Did you forget about that ?

And the whole point was to not have the country suffer, but it looks
like the Lieberals are doing it on purpose.
Or maybe they really are just that stupid.

He did much worse to the Mexicans, and they have a deal.
Did you forget about that ?

Have you been watching the same exchange I have? Trump started this by declaring us a threat to national security so he could put tariffs on us without congressional approval. How is that doing pretty good?



That's from the G7, not recently. We also didn't do anything insulting at the G7 other than saying we wouldn't be pushed around. Are we really going to try and spin that Trudeau saying we won't be pushed around is an insult now?

Hours later, they sat down together behind closed doors. According to a source with knowledge of their discussions, Trump said: “People forget how close we are Justin, and I notice that they took a picture of us smiling and talking and the market went up 200 points.”

Trump would raise that anecdote a couple more times over the course of what was a pivotal meeting, according to an official. Asked what to make of that, the source said perhaps the American president liked to reflect on his power.

“The Prime Minister said, ‘Look, here’s the essence of our trading relationship. We sell you a lot of oil and energy and you sell us a lot of food and manufactured goods. It is a trillion dollar relationship. We could pick any one of those things and argue over the numbers. But shouldn’t we be talking about the relationship as a whole, which is an unmitigated positive for both of us?”

Canadian officials believed at the time Trump “got that.” They agreed to accelerate NAFTA talks, but there was no clear path as to the next steps with the tariffs in place.

After their meeting, Trump and Trudeau attended the G7 leaders working dinner on peace and security in the world, a topic where all leaders could find some common ground.

Trump left, skipping the climate change and oceans sessions, but Trudeau took the stage Saturday evening to proclaim all G7 leaders had reached a joint statement, calling the summit a success and outlining his own talks with Trump.

Go watch some more Ezra videos, gutless traitor.
