imperil his reelection. but in some of these countries like germany, there are now obvious indications from multiple quarters that they re having an economic contraction. so you re talking about a meeting the g7/g8 is supposed to be a meeting dealing with economic issues and that has to be really front and center, that this kind of combative talk from the president, the tariffs and some other factors could lead to a real global recession. let s get to the economic issues, laura, because looming over all of this, of course, is the escalating trade war with china. the stock market dropping 600 points alone. how will this stand with the president, especially since he said he wants to boast about the u.s. economy? i think all world leaders are frustrated with trump in trying to figure out not only how to deal with him but how to work around him on all these issues of global trade to the burning amazon which is threatening our entire species which trump has
are back again. think of canada s trudeau or angela merkel of germany, and you know that they have had these dynamics before and they ve seen how the president, especially in the area of trade, sometimes wants to use tariffs to try to extract promises from these allies and partners. and many other countries don t like tariffs used in this way. it s something president trump has believed in, it has caused a lot of tension with china, china not a part of these talks, but certainly this relationship will be a part of the discussion. a working dinner tonight, as you mentioned. that is about international security, one of the many talks that they will have on different topics, and the family photo may be a little dysfunctional at times, but they will do that group picture of all the leaders tonight. sometimes they re smiling and sometimes they re kind of grimacing, but we ll see how it turns out today. thank you, kelly o donnell, in southwest france. writer from politico and
