President Trump is abruptly leaving the G7 summit in Canada. Sen. Chris Coons joins The Weeknight to discuss. June 17, 2025
While visiting Canada on Monday for a Group of 7 summit, President Donald Trump made wrong assertions about Canada and multiple other topics.
President Trump, in a bilateral meeting with Canadian PM Mark Carney for the G7 summit, called it a "mistake" for Russia to have been removed from the G8 in 2014 for annexing Crimea.
President Donald Trump took questions from reporters at the G7 summit in Canada and said that Russian President Vladimir Putin was insulted after being thrown out of the G8 summit. Trump went on to say he understands that Putin took offense and stated that Putin "doesn't even speak to the people that threw him out.
The 2018 summit ended with Trump assailing his Canadian hosts on social media as he departed on Air Force One, saying he had instructed the U.S. officials who remained in Quebec to oppose the G7 joint statement endorsed by the leaders of Japan, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and, of course, Canada.
