'No President is FOREVER' Macron THREATENS Trump in trade war - 'We don't mind being G6'
FRENCH president Emmanuel Macron has threatened Donald Trump that the G7 wouldn’t “mind being six” and “no president is forever” as he slammed the US leader for steel tariffs.

By Caitlin Doherty

PUBLISHED: 02:17, Fri, Jun 8, 2018 | UPDATED: 12:24, Fri, Jun 8, 2018

Speaking on Thursday, Mr Macron was asked whether Trump “didn’t care” about being isolated from other world leaders.

Standing alongside Canadian president Justin Trudeau, Mr Macron said: "The six countries of the G7 without the United States, are a bigger market taken together than the American market.

"Maybe the American president doesn't care about being isolated today, but we don't mind being six if needs be.”

Leaders are gathering in Canada for their weekend’s G7 summit, the first since Trump announced international steel tariffs that have been widely condemned by the world’s top politicians.

Is he skipping it to go get cheeseburgers or is there something a little more important going on?

empty threats at best.   

trade is vital of course but they should at least use vaseline if they are going to screw us.  They just aren't used to dealing with a President who doesn't bow and scrape and give into their every demand.

Yeah, because the rest of the G7 members are just that great. Real economic powerhouses those French and Italians are.

'Our president' apparently isn't interested in buying the world's respect by lavishing US taxpayer money and jobs on them.

Yeah, but I found out that their "football" involves a bunch of guys in shiny shorts standing around in a field kicking a volleyball back and forth.

skeeter. Did you miss the tweet of lamenting the loss of jobs in China so we will renew our tech deal with them without regard to the fact that they shared the technology with NK and Iran?

Without us propping up their economy, Europe will be bankrupt in a few years.

You know, if the Euros really don't mind just being the G-6, and are totally fine with going their own way, I don't think they'd be so insistent on making sure everyone knows that.  If you really don't care about something, then you just...shouldn't care.  But the Euros seem to care a great deal about claiming they don't care.

They need to practice their walk out. Pace and hierarchical order is the key.  Also, Bolton will be barefoot and out of step, like McCartney on the cover of Abbey Road.


I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

No alliance is forever. The post-WWII interregnum est finit and a new agreement is due.
