World leaders at the Group of Seven summit in Canada on Monday pushed US President Donald Trump to back away from his punishing trade war, arguing that it poses a risk to global economic stability. A source at the summit said that French President Emmanuel Macron urged the American leader to quickly end the trade conflict once and for all.
US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba met for 30 minutes on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit on Monday, according to the Japanese government.
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba pushed back against Trump's agenda of levying higher tariffs on imported goods, arguing it would hurt economic growth. The Japanese leader specifically called Trump ahead of the summit to confirm their plans to talk on the sidelines, which is a greater focus for Japan than the summit itself.
Trump told reporters alongside Carney before the meeting that a deal is "achievable but both parties have to agree," and defended his use of tariffs.
Most G7 countries have already been subjected to a 10 percent base tariff by Trump, with European countries and Japan also facing additional levies on cars, steel, and aluminum.
