News Alert: Trump blasts Canada's Trudeau for 'false statements'; says U.S. will not endorse G-7 communique

President Trump said he instructed U.S. representatives at the Group of Seven meeting not to endorse the communique agreed to by the other six nations at the end of the meeting because of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's remarks at a news conference. Trump accused Trudeau in a tweet of being "Very dishonest and weak" in discussions about U.S.-Canada trade issues. Trudeau had sharply criticized Trump's tariffs Saturday and reaffirmed that Canada would answer with its own tariffs July 1 unless the United States reversed course. "Canadians, we're polite, we're reasonable, but we also will not be pushed around," Trudeau said at a news conference.
