Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomes President Donald Trump at the beginning of the working sessions for the G7 assembly in Canada.
During the press availability President Trump notes the G7 used to be the G8, however following the Crimea referendum and President Putin’s response to accept the outcome of the vote, the NATO alliance led by President Barack Obama took Russia out of the group. President Trump says he “agreed” with Putin’s reaction to the decision.
The G7 speak about Russia consistently at almost every meeting, without a willingness to listen to the voice or opinion of Russia in context to their protestations. Quite simply it is easier for Italy, Canada, the U.K, France, Germany, Japan and the USA to exist inside an echo-chamber without having their multilateral arguments challenged. President Trump does not fear the debate of ideas with Russia present in the room, another point of distinction between Trump and the assembly.
Wrong is wrong even if everybody does it; and right is right even if nobody does it. It takes strong confidence to assert a position counter to popular opinion, this is what makes President Donald Trump a transformative political influence.
In the background, President Vladimir Putin is undoubtedly paying attention.
Also, read carefully what President of the European Council António Costa said today:
CANADA – […] European Commission boss Ursula von der Leyen and President of the European Council António Costa on Sunday both urged Trump to stop hurting the global economy with tariffs.
“Let’s keep trade between us fair, predictable and open. All of us need to avoid protectionist measures — this is an important message that the G7 can send to the markets and to the world,” von der Leyen told reporters, speaking alongside Costa at the first press conference of the G7 leaders’ meeting in Canada.
Calling for “a frank discussion among the G7 partners, restoring a sense of stability and predictability among ourselves,” von der Leyen stressed Brussels was still negotiating a trade truce with Washington.
Costa said the EU can’t increase defense spending, as Trump wants it to, if it has to fight a trade war at the same time.” (link)
A parasitic statement if there ever was one.
Put another way, the EU threatens that President Trump will not be able to lessen USA military spending from NATO, if he simultaneously demands reciprocal trade rules from NATO countries.
Insufferable is an understatement.
Poor them.
They’ll have to give up some climate change, GreenNew Deal nonsense to be able to afford it.
Do they think we don’t know that?
Go get them President Trump on all fronts.
We’re America First.
And Europeans might have to work more than 30 hours a week and have to retire on their full pension later than aged 50.
And take less that 8 weeks of paid vacation every year, plus holidays 🙂
That statement by the EU queen pretty well sums up their leach from the US mindset. Since they bring nothing to the table but globalist BS, hopefully PDT sends them home crying
I wanted to upvote this 100X!
No they will have to start filling up some boats and sending people home.
That is the REAL cost of all this.
If you think about it…Not only are we paying for the illegals here…We are also paying for them there…
Why does no one want to acknowledge that?
And get rid of all those unelected EU people who pay NO taxes.
Yes, the EU Commission, Members of EU Parliament and all their employees pay NO taxes! It’s the political version of the Vatican.
I wonder if he wants some Bree with that whine?
Exactly! And I love how they just state that the status quo is “fair”: “Let’s keep trade between us fair, predictable and open. All of us need to avoid protectionist measures..”
Can’t keep it “fair” if it’s not fair to start with. The USA had been getting fleeced by the rest of the G7 since before there even was a G7.
And we have the economy that needs the protectionist measures. They don’t.
Equity = Fair
That is their weapon of choice.
Prov 1:3 speaks of wise behaviour, righteousness, justice and finally, Equity.
1) wise behaviour – with Truth and wisdom you are able to discern right from wrong
2) righteousness – the Application of Gods standards while dealing with others
3) justice – the ability to conform to these standards
4) Equity – the living of life in fairness WHILE also fulfilling 1 thru 3.
These fools want Equity, and want you to ignore intellect, righteousness & justice to get there…
EU…arrogant, ignorant and insufferable! Simple answer: EU drop all your tariffs.
And the regulations – that’s how the EU and UK keep the USA out- created layers of barriers to trade as well as the tariff regime.
I wish President Trump would once again restate the obvious, that no tariffs would be ideal and would put the “fair” in fair trade.
He very well may have, in between being on camera.
Nobody stays on message as well as our Very Stable Genius.
FAFO goes for the G7 too.
Awww, bless their hearts!
And have a reeaal nice day!! (Said in my best Southern voice).
And tell your momma I said , hey. LOL
Bless their hearts.
President Trump could withdraw United States from NATO altogether and tell them all, “In the words of my generation, UP YOURS.”
Not any more. Congress/Biden passed legislation to specifically prevent that. President Trump (any president) can no longer unilaterally set in motion the withdrawal from NATO.
The NATO Charter specifies an announcement of withdrawal, then 1 year later an nation is no longer a member.
Maybe we can’t withdraw immediately but why can’t we just not pay the dues and not participate in the things we don’t want to do until the withdrawal is complete?
Nice
He can withdraw troops and equipment in Europe. NATO ain’t crap without those.
Did our fake president sign it?
Autopen no 3?
If we can go to war without Congressional approval, then we sure as hell can get out of NATO through the President conducting foreign policy.
The President can set the foreign policy agenda through speeches, executive orders, and international engagements. President Obama used executive agreements to improve relations with Cuba despite Congressional opposition. President Trump used executive authority to withdraw from the Paris Climate agreement, and the North America Free Trade Agreement.
The Supreme Court has generally upheld the President’s broad authority in foreign affairs.
Get the hell out of NATO.
Bingo.
also, why can’t we be a pain in the azz, always voting against, bringing nonsense topics and propasals to meetings, challenging and posing leaders, sand in gears?
This is why i like hand grenades.
By the way, I saw what you did there, Recalcitrant (quoted from a particularly fun flick).
Is that a reference to the movie ‘Independence Day’? Love it!
First picture say…I got enough those clowns….. and I will deal with G 7 punks my way……..
Thanks Betsy….. what a American treasure we do have a THOMAS SOWELL …in the age over 90…..still going and going….
A treasure he is, dear sejmon.
A man who was able to honestly examine his long held beliefs, and seeing them in the light of day found them wanting and wrong. He says much in little. One of his best…
A treasure to those outside of the USA as well.
Honest men run the risk of being killed by the hypocrites they expose.
Like the original gadfly himself, Socrates.
In contemporary US, being cancelled for honesty is popular. Only those with substantial independent means can survive this.
And yet, in undoubtedly knowing this, he soldiers on.
A patriotic Alpha male if ever there was one.
God keep him safe.
Pusillanimous pontificating pustules of pernicious pomposity.
Well said
Good iliteration!
Now say it three times real fast😁!
That sounds like it should be in the Wizard of Oz
Sylvester the Cat!
Shades of Spiro Agnew…
perfect!
Coulda sworn I heard the word traitors….
But my ears had a Freudian slip…
Lovin the smackdown ie G8…
NO MERCY!
My girlfriend had a Freudian Slip…
until I bought her a corset. 😬
Amazing Trump!
WOW! I’m sure what Trump said will put a big smile on Putin’s face.
He took the Russian Federation elephant in the room and put it front and centre for these grifting Welfare States and the EU. The Bilderberg Conference plans for the G7 meeting won’t get an airing now. An exceptional country like the USA deserves an exceptional man as President.
I would really like to kick the EU in the nuts. The land of Monarchy and Totalitarianism dates to lecture the most powerful economy in the history of the planet about “free trade?” There is no such thing as free trade and there never will be.
Can’t kick what ain’t there.
I have tears in my beer crying over his remarks.
Ursula von der Leyen and her EU pals speak of fairness but do they not see that “what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander?”
She has no interest in fairness and neither should we. We’re unabashedly America First and PDJT is making sure she knows it.
Ursula, you ignorant slut.
Back when SNL was funny. As a Jane I’ve been the recipient … in fun
Lolololol 🤣 😆 🤣
And fascist slut and I’m with you.
THEY HATE TRUMP. And I always kinda knew why but lately I think it has become clear to pretty much everyone.
They hate Trump because they know deep inside, they are not qualified for the work of government. They don’t actually know what they are doing. They don’t understand or even care about the results of their actions. They get “influenced” to do certain things and that’s all they actually care about. They HATE Trump because they are afraid people will start to notice. And we DO notice.
PDJT, has exposed the fakes for exactly what they are.
Anyone remember Alvin Toffler’s ‘Future Shock’ published in 1970? President Trump brought the ‘speed of change’ and ‘creative destruction’ to the politicians. Now they know how the rest of us feel after being forced to accept the indefensible policies that were forced upon us by transactional, amoral nonentities.
Exactly!
It takes a very special talent to perform as a world leader.
These La-De-DAS do not qualify for ________________(fill in the blank)!
They do hate him and know he’s a threat to expose their financial fiefdom…
Sounds like the Housewives of the G7.
They are certainly a bunch of whiny little bitches.
Some of the G7 wives are dude aren’t they?
At least one most definitely seems to be.
They certainly are Desperate.
Reciprocity.
That word doesn’t exist in the Nazi vocabulary!
Just heard the whole introductory speech of Trump. He is TRULY the Norm McDonald of the world stage. He’s funny and highly critical and says things people in power would rather he not say. But unlike Norm McDonald, they can’t cancel “The Donald!”
They tried, but God had other plans.
(Thank You, Lord Jesus!)
The very simple problem with organizations like “G7” is that they listen to no one but themselves.
For example, they’re endlessly talking [down …] about “Russia.” So, is there a Russian representative in the room?
I rest my case.
The G7 is the Echo6+1
The obsession with the Russian Federation in UK and EU elite circles is beyond my understanding. They are so unhappy that the internationalist communist USSR imploded that they recreated it with the unelected EU Politburo/Commission
Who’s lumpy forehead is that in the lower right corner of photo?
💥 Stroking,
puss ready to burst
or horns?
-let’s go!
Out, out, out !!!
Yikes. So weird. Electrodes or what?
Thrombo incoming.
The house of cards that Ms. Von der Leyen, is living in is in jeopardy of financial ruin.
As the curtain gets pulled back we are getting to see the true health and stability of the EU, and Canada, we have learned already that we support them with unbalanced trade deals and Nato support.
The deadline should be now for all negotiations regarding trade, time to step up and pay the price for all the years of stealing from us.
The USA is the only reason the UK can afford a Welfare State and a bloated, overpaid, underworked bureaucracy at local and National levels. Three devolved Parliaments and Westminster!
I believe the EU has until July9, 2025 to sign a trade deal with the U.S. if they miss the deadline, well then FAFO.
Trump enters a room fetid with the ass gas of G7 bureaubrats, reeking from eating far too many Brussels sprouts and Hasenpfeffer.
‘It stinks in here!’ Trump declares. ‘Let’s air the place out!’
They are all shocked down to their Jimmy Choos and Berluti oxfords, of course! Only flatulence from cows is offensive to them!
Which is why I love this President!
It remain me joke of my favor woman in the politics(Maggie Thatcher) once she told party goers in her house..”It stink in here… who did eat a clover”….
Not America’s Treaty Obligation sounds good to me.
As for the video with Mark Carney, it is very clear that Mr. Carney is in way over his head. This pathetic version of a man will be the demise of Canada if he is left in power for any length of time.
It is sad that the more Mr. Carney tries to be an influential player on the world stage the more he falls flat and demonstrates he does not have the ability to lead, nor will he learn how to lead at this stage of life.
President Trump, faced with stupid demands from weak Europe should reiterate his stands on Russia, Trade, NATO, including Russia on the G8, Ukraine and leave. No sense wasting time on nonsense.
Well, at least Prime Minster “Art” Carney’s (Ed Norton’s) eye brows didn’t fall off like the last Canadian PM’s.
Hint: Look up the sitcom “The Honeymooners” … hey hey Ralphie Boy …. Norton you are a mental case.
Honeymooners. Great series!
THAT is an insult to Art Carney!!!
My apologies to Art Carney as well … it was just too good a fit to pass up especially when PM Carney looks just like Ed Norton (Art Carney’s character).
I’ll look it up…
One of these days…
Alice !!!
Come on do the whole shtick … “One of these days Alice … zip bam … right to the moon”.
Norton: “Do you mind if I smoke, Ralph?”
Ralph: “I don’t care if you burn.”
BS!
I’m tired of carrying the burdens of the world!
No one handed us one teeny-tiny thing; we worked for it.
Why does the United States of America owe ANY COUNTRY ANYTHING?
This is not hard to comprehend!
Enough!
Carney’s the new clown. Here’s Canada’s former clown
These insufferables don’t seem to get the relationship between defense and trade but they will. Imagine President Trump leave NATO and then make to impossible to sell their products here. Their veiled threat immediately made me think “ are you threatening us with not selling cookware in the US?” Silly European s.
It is time for Trump to leave NATO and implement fair global tariffs on all countries!
Retired Magistrate here: President Trump looks like he is fed up with all of them. President Trump does not suffer fools gladly.
I had to go back and watch rather than just listen as I usually do. You’re right! What a look! He must feel like he’s the adult assigned to the kids’ table for a holiday meal.
Good grief, what parasites….
Love, love, love that Russia (Russia, Russia)
was VERY noted; Russia was part of G8
-but
False doe & Obamboozler
kicked Russia out.
Speaking about President Putin covers several important topics
-without even being specific.
Sorry EU (and Canada) the tariffs aren’t going away and our bankrolling NATO is. Figure it out.
Isn’t the term “CARNEY” short for the traveling carnival workers?
It was in the movie Roustabout starring Elvis
Sundance
When you get around to it, could you give your thoughts/feelings about Tucker explosion against a number of war-people surrounding Trump, and how Tucker feels it would be bad for MAGA, to get involved in a war with Iran. And Tucker feels people like Mark Levin and others will beat the WAR Drum, and Trump was elected to focus on America First.
Trump seems to respond to Tucker: I created the term “America First” and as president I decide what is in American’s best interests.
Maybe research it with your insights. Tucker was on Bannon’s War Room today for 1 hour.
I’m still processing this, and would welcome your viewpoint. I already posted on this thread, … and I did look to see if thread on Tucker was anywhere, I didn’t see one, so I make this post.
I can’t listen to Tucker anymore. Something is off there.
He did just that this morning, read “Have we forgotten how the Senate works?”
The Surest way for the rhinos and the Dems to separate Trump from his base is to talk Trump into going to war. Trump will lose the base immediately and that’s what they’re trying to do
Everyone wants free, fair, predictable and open trade. And, the US will be happy to offer same, just as soon as any lingering Marshall Plan and other special benefits are wound down … which, incidentally, is long overdue. And by the way … you’re welcome! We were happy to assist with your recovery from the terrible events of the 1940’s.
By the way, Western Europe, you’re also welcome for the past 80 years of freedom from war and the protection of your sea lanes and trade routs, including the Suez, upon which you have grown to be so dependent. It has been our pleasure.
Now, in return, if you would be so kind as to refrain from being a cheerleader for global thermal nuclear war with Russia, we would appreciate that very much. By definition, no one wins a nuclear exchange … that’s why they call it M.A.D.!
Adulting is hard.
Responsibility is hard.
I dont care who or what Europe is. It is importing immigrants to replace the natives.
Russia might stop that so who knows what happens next.
Just dont make us pay for their destruction.
The German “Army” Will have to work more than 40 hours a week. With NO overtime!!
Canada, the EU can best be summed up by my father. ‘An ego maniac with an inferiority complex.’
And there it is – you just proved why PDJT is not an egomaniac (as the left loves to smear him).
All egomaniacs have inferiority complexes. What PDJT has is self-confidence – in spades.
I totally agree with your analysis, 100%.
Trump is working on changing the post World War II global order in which parasitic elites and aristocrats or former aristocrats run the intelligence services of the countries of the US, UK, and the EU countries. They maintain totalitarian control by destructive actions in secret against countries who they feel are not behaving in accordance with their preferences. They have started forever wars, created enemies where enemies did not have to exist, as Trump pointed out in the above video.
Trump is creating a whole new order so the parasitic elites are angry and upset and want him to stop. They will lose their power over all the people of the western democracies and beyond, and that is the absolute worst thing they can imagine. So they want to do all kinds of things to stop President Trump from establishing his vision of reform and restoration of relationships with other countries, one at a time, so that the relationships are based on mutual and reciprocal respect and the needs of both countries are met, but not at the expense of the US. That is what the parasite elite don’t want.
Their whole way of life is at stake, and as Sundance has said many times, “trillions are at stake.”
We are incredibly fortunate to have Donald Trump as our President!
That guy has the worst posture of any world leader (what am I saying, it’s Canada!). It seems as though President Trump could snap him in half with a look.
Can’t pay increase tariffs and pay fair share of NATO defense? Okay pay the tariffs and we decrease our share of NATO defense..
They sound like a crazy ex-girlfriend saying she can’t afford to live in her upscale neighborhood if you don’t make her car payment.
Okay…. Sorry to hear that?
The garbled France out of NATO at one point. It won’t be the end of the world if Trump says we’re out of NATO
Should read DeGaulle pulled France out of NATO
Time to leave NATO.
So exhausting. Rock On President Trump!
Ha! I was watching this as it unfolded live. PDJT was sucking all the oxygen out of the room – all questions were directed to and at him.
Carney seemed to get somewhat irritated by it, putting an end to it, which was too bad as it was really interesting.
I know Trump was very sincere regarding his 2014 Russia G8 statements. But it very smart to telegraph this to Putin. Trump
sticking up for Russia at the G7 will go along way with Putin and the Russian people.
