Hold the Line: Trump Tells G-7 to Suck a Stone on Israel-Iran Group Statement

First, here’s our president as he makes his official entrance to the G-7 gathering in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada. He’s being greeted by new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and his wife, Diana.

She’s a policy wonk, too.

It didn’t take Trump long to make headlines.

And, oh, this is AWESOME.

Three cheers for @realDonaldTrump standing with Israel.

Trump refuses to sign G7 statement amid split over Iran https://t.co/XjWT3RQMoZ

I found this particularly heartwarming, not only for the obvious reasons – the United States standing firm in Israel’s corner for once – but because of an article I’d read on the cusp of the G-7 itself.

The Canadians believed they had – hold onto your hats here – ‘TRUMP-PROOFED‘ the confab of movers and shakers.

Holy smokes.

That’s an impossibility, and maybe only the Canadians would be arrogant enough to think such a thing could be done.

G7 has been Trump-proofed to avoid trouble – here’s how

The Canadian organisers of the G7 summit are taking no chances with Donald Trump this week, ditching the usual joint communiqué, padding the event with extra guests and reducing the amount of time when the world leaders sit around the same table.

It is the latest example of how global institutions are adapting to the return of an unpredictable and combative figure.

A diplomat in Washington DC, who has seen the schedule, said it included fewer plenary sessions of the full group and more one-on-one meetings

“There’s a lot more of that than at other summits,” he said, “which would make sense if you are worried about one person causing trouble.”

The last time Mr Trump attended a G7 summit in Canada he stormed off early, ripping up a joint communiqué and leaving a trail of withering tweets behind him.

‘Tis to laugh.

What’s that old saying?

ONCE BURNT, TWICE SHY

What are the Canadians to do now that they’ve been burnt twice, and I mean scorched?

Serious case of Trump road rash.

Donald Trump torpedoed a joint G7 statement on the Israel-Iran conflict as world leaders met in Canada on Monday, according to senior US officials.

More splits were on display between Mr Trump and other G7 nation leaders as the two-day summit got underway in the sun and grandeur of Banff National Park.

The agenda for the long-planned summit has been hastily updated to reflect cross-border barrages fired by Iran and Israel and concerns about a wider war.

The Telegraph learnt that a draft document was circulated that called for both sides to protect civilians and for tight monitoring of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

That was unacceptable to Mr Trump, who is demanding that Iran is not allowed any uranium enrichment activity and who has been one of the most outspoken of Israel’s supporters. “I can confirm that he did not sign on to the statement,” said a senior US official.

Statehood’s the only thing left for them, I guess.

Iran is reportedly desperate for a ‘face-saving exit’ according to the latest reports, and God bless Donald Trump that he’s not willing to be any part of a mealy-mouthed European effort to let them have it.

Exactly – this has to be the end of the mullahs. So much wonderful if that happens.

He also curled some toes when answering questions from the Canadian press. If I remember correctly, they threw Putin out over the Crimea invasion. 

President Trump: “The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn’t want to have Russia in, and I would say that was a mistake, because I think you wouldn’t have a war right now if you had Russia in.”pic.twitter.com/Fwp9hkof2q

I see the president had nearly his whole team there, and, seriously – God help anyone going in against them.

And, I’m sorry – have to do it because she’s so precious.

Here’s your Summit Meloni:

Trump’s gotten a deal with the UK signed already.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump and UK PM Starmer just signed a MAJOR trade deal at the G7 in Canada

It includes:

✅ $6 BILLION in new tariff revenue
✅ US tariffs on imports from UK raised to 10%
✅ UK tariffs on imports from US lowered to 1.8%
✅ $5 BILLION in new exports from… pic.twitter.com/YIf5f442Ji

So, no grass growing under his feet at all, and there are other countries in line behind Starmer.

World leaders are using this week’s Group of Seven summit in Canada to talk trade with President Trump, seeking to ease tensions over tariffs.

Japan, the European Union, Canada and Mexico hoped face time with Trump would help them persuade him to lower at least some of his most onerous tariffs in exchange for a range of concessions, such as higher military spending, action against China and cuts to tariffs and other trade barriers that affect U.S. companies.

All in all, a pretty bang-up start as ‘Trump-proofing’ goes the way of the dinosaurs.

Beege ADDS: And breaking just a bit ago before this went up, I’m guessing Trump had a reason he wasn’t signing on to the milquetoast G-7 statement.

I have a feeling this is going to end, and soon, period.

Kayleigh McEnany and Jesse Watters both announced Trump is leaving the G-7 early to head back to D.C.

Certainly sounds like it’s show time.
