Russia to be readmitted to the g seven it was all smiles during this family photo but besides the italian Prime Minister the other leaders are not on board with. Bringing moscow back into the g. Seven fold. The scene looks idyllic but as leaders pulled together for the socalled family photo it was clear that one of the men in the middle u. S. President donald trump was more focused on a family feud. Leaving washington for the summit trump set the tone for the days to come he left the u. S. As allies know what he thought of their relationship with their strong god like well we fought with you in the war three they dont mention the fact that they have Trade Barriers against our farmers they dont mention the fact that theyre charging almost Three Hundred percent. What it all straightened out well all be in love again. And then he threw in this surprising tidbit. Right here
you see in this city why are we having a meeting without russia being in the meeting i would recommend and its up to
Than mediation. At the end of the day we have constant exchanges with President Trump. I share his goals, hell say he doesnt agree with methods, but i want to get there, i want to have an agreement. And i think theres been a true change. This morning president rohani showed himself to be opening to this meeting happening and President Trump has been saying for weeks hes been demanding and being tough and putting forward sanctions but im ready to have a meeting to make a deal. I think were making progress. I want this meeting to happen and i want there to be an agreement between the United States and iran and france will play the role that its meant to play together with the United Kingdom, with germany and all of the other Signatory Powers and the permanent members of the security council. Iran is a country thats not the same country it was two and a half years ago when i came into office. Iran was the number one state of terror throughout the world. There were 18 sites of confliction
place to be. of course the president providing no evidence there of that claim that he s lost billions of dollars in the presidency. i believe forbes fact checked that and found that to be a fairly insufficient claim. the russia rejoining the g7. president trump was asked about that repeatedly and made the point that he would rather russia be inside the tent, as he put it, than outside the tent. it s not even clear that russia wants to be in this lateral group. let me give you a sense of the mood here. this caps what has been a summit that s lasted two-plus days. it was logistically very interesting. at one point in the middle that have news conference i don t know what you can see from your end, craig. steve mnuchin stood up in front and started injecting. the french press filed out and left in the middle of the news conference after president macron left the room even as president trump was trying to answer questions and more
joined in the criticism france s money will macaulay lambasted trump for rejecting the g seven communicate sane in a statement it showed washington s quote incoherence and inconsistency germany s foreign minister also had harsh words for the us president social media diplomacy one cannot find out. you can destroy trust within seconds with two hundred eighty twitter characters this with rebuilding it takes longer than this we now must keep cool and take the appropriate steps one of those will be standing up for our interests in europe in a much more united fashion for most. russia s president vladimir putin weighed in on the war of words after a g. seven statement criticize russia for what it called its destabilizing behavior dickerson the but i think it s time to stop all this idle talk creative idle talk and get to issues related to real cooperation assumes that instead of just cooperation with moscow looks to be on washington s agenda with trump saying russia
preparations are under way the massive fun zone is nearly ready to work but other things promised by the russian well cooked bit have not materialized high speed rail links from western europe to russia or better connections to nearby airports there s still no sign of them despite the money that s been spent. critics you have seen the well cooked only benefits to big construction companies but even this massive cash injection will be short lived with the fans and team stuff left risher is set to announce painful reforms including raising view age of retirement and increasing taxes. imagine you re a football fan and you support a team that wants to compete for the world cup can t because fifa doesn t recognize your region as a country for places like tibet western armenia and capa tallia there s an alternative to the world cup and it just wrapped up in london at the final match as tight as any that you ll see in the real world cup competition is a hunk garion speaking region in western
