US President Donald Trump on Monday launched a new criticism of the US trading partners, including European allies and Canada, after statements he had already made that the US would no longer put up with "trade abuses."

“Excuse me, but we can no longer allow our friends or enemies to use us to achieve our interests in commerce,” he wrote on Twitter. “We must put American workers first!”

It was one tweet from the whole series, in which he, in particular, stated that the USA "bears almost all expenses in NATO", while other members of the alliance allow abuses in trade with the USA for the sake of their interests.

“We defend Europe (which is good) at the cost of large financial losses, and then they beat us in trade,” he wrote. “Changes are coming!”

The financial contribution of the members of the alliance, in general, is determined by their economic indicators. As the world's largest economy, the United States contributes more to the NATO budget than other countries.

Trump posted his tweets while in Singapore, where he came to a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un after attending the G-7 leaders meeting in Canada.

After Trump’s departure, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called Trump’s decision to impose duties on aluminum and steel “offensive”, given the long history of United States support for Canadian troops in conflicts.

Trudeau promised to introduce retaliatory duties on American goods from July 1.

While on the plane, Trump instructed US officials not to sign the final communiqué of the summit and accused Trudeau of “false statements at a press conference.”

“Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was so gentle and gentle at our G7 meetings just to give a press conference after my departure and state that“ American duties are somewhat offensive, ”and that he“ will not allow them pushed around. ” Very dishonest and weak. Our duties are the answer to his 270% dairy products, ”Trump tweeted.

On Monday, Trump published a new tweet in which he wrote, “Fair trade will now be called stupid trade if it is not mutual.” The president said that Trudeau "plays offended when he is called to answer."

Trudeau did not respond to criticism from the United States, instead announcing the success of the summit.

“The historic and important agreement we reached [at the summit] will help strengthen the economies of our countries and the prosperity of our people, protect our democracies, protect our environment, protect the rights of women and girls around the world. That's what really matters, ”said Trudeau.

At the same time, Canadian Foreign Minister Hristia Freeland said: “Canada does not consider that personal attacks are relevant or useful for the implementation of our relations with other countries.”

The final communiqué of the G-7 summit calls for joint work aimed at stimulating economic growth, “from which everyone benefits.” The document emphasizes a commitment to the “international rules-based trading system” and “fighting protectionism.”

The document also supports strengthening health systems, promoting gender equality, and combating sexual and gender-based violence. It also notes the need for efforts to create a safer world and to combat climate change.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel told ARD that Trump’s refusal to sign the Twitter communique is a “sobering and depressing” experience.

French President Emmanuel Macron condemned Trump’s position, saying that “international cooperation cannot depend on the dictates of anger and verbal attacks.” He called Trump's refusal to sign the communique a manifestation of "inconsistency and inconsistency."

Trump's ardent critic Republican Senator John McCain expressed support for the remaining six world leaders at a Canadian summit.

“Turning to our allies, I want to say that the majority of supporters of both American parties still support free trade, globalization and alliances based on the 70-year commitment to shared values. Americans support you, even if our president does not support you, ”wrote McCain on Twitter.

Trudeau and May spoke out against Trump and on another issue - relations with Russia. Trump was in favor of Russia joining the G-7 again, after its exclusion from the G-8 in 2014 in connection with the annexation of Crimea, which is part of Ukraine.

According to Trudeau, he is “not even closely interested” in Russia joining the group uniting the seven most developed economies of the world.

“We agreed to be prepared to impose further restrictive measures against Russia if necessary,” May added.
