Macron calls Trump Incoherent
On Sunday morning, two Trump economic advisers, Larry Kudlow and Peter Navarro, ratcheted up the bizarro rhetoric. Kudlow called Trudeau’s remarks a “betrayal” and said “he really kind of stabbed us in the back,” while Navarro scowled, “There’s a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump.”
He continued, "And that's what bad faith Justin Trudeau did with that stunt press conference. That's what weak, dishonest Justin Trudeau did, and
that comes right from Air Force One."
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a statement: “We are focused on everything we accomplished at the G7 summit. The prime minister said nothing he hasn’t said before — both in public, and in private conversations with the president.”
French President Emmanuel Macron, in a statement: “We spent two days to obtain a text and commitments. We will stand by them and anyone who would depart from them, once their back was turned, shows their incoherence and inconsistency. International cooperation cannot depend on fits of anger or little words. Let us be serious and worthy of our people.”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel: “The withdrawal, so to speak, via tweet is of course … sobering and a bit depressing.”
Asked about Navarro's "special place in hell" remark about Trudeau, Freeland pauses and says, "Canada does not conduct its diplomacy through ad hominem attacks. We don't think that that is a useful or productive way to do business."
