President Trump gave the E7 leaders an offer they’ll most definitely refuse: a complete abolition of all tariffs. I can just imagine an audible gasp from these blowhard hypocrites.
President Trump reportedly asked world leaders at the Group of Seven Summit on Friday to consider "no tariffs" at all amid growing tensions over the administration's trade moves.
Politico, citing officials who listened and took notes of the discussions, reported that Trump told assembled world leaders that “we should at least consider no tariffs, no barriers — scrapping all of it."
The newspaper reported that the idea was challenged by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is hosting the summit in Quebec.
"What about subsidies?” the Canadian leader reportedly asked.
Politico reported that leaders present for the meeting took Trump's suggestion as largely rhetorical.
Yeah, that’s one way to dismiss it.
