EU-US: the tweet war rages on
(B2) Between Europeans and US President Trump, the war of tweets is raging. Arriving at the G7 in Charlevoix, Quebec (Canada), it was French President Emmanuel Macron who started hostilities.
« The trade war is not good for anyone, starting with American workers! Let's renew the global trade framework. But let's respect the rules of the collective game “, he says on twitter.

Let us renew the global trade framework. But let us all follow the same rules. https://t.co/UcC5SJYuOG— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) 7th June 2018
Before adding " Maybe it doesn't matter to the US President to be isolated, but it also doesn't matter to us to be at 6 if necessary ».

Donald Trump, who was surprised in the game where he is usually a precursor, then swung the heavy artillery, attacking the Europeans and the Canadians in turn: “ Tell Prime Minister Trudeau and President Macron that they are charging massive tariffs in the United States and creating non-monetary barriers. The EU's trade surplus with the US is $151 billion, and Canada is stopping our farmers and others from getting by. »
Please tell Prime Minister Trudeau and President Macron that they are charging the US massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers. The EU trade surplus with the US is $151 Billion, and Canada keeps our farmers and others out. Look forward to seeing them tomorrow.

And to add: Why have the European Union and Canada only been telling the public for years they are using massive trade tariffs and non-monetary trade barriers against the United States. [It's] totally unfair to our farmers, our workers and our businesses. Knock down your tariffs and barriers or we will do more than answer you! »
