Thursday
Today, I am greatly honored to welcome my good friend, PM Abe of Japan to the @WhiteHouse. Over the past 16 months the Prime Minister and I have worked closely together to address common challenges, of which there are many… pic.twitter.com/sNlmdd6fgm

PM Abe and I are also working to improve the trading relationship between the U.S. and Japan, something we have to do. The U.S. seeks a bilateral deal with Japan that is based on the principle of fairness and reciprocity. We’re working hard to reduce our trade imbalance… pic.twitter.com/pnqEHoplk0

President Trump and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan hold a joint press conference ahead for their meeting it’s twelve minutes and thirteen minutes long.
Please tell Prime Minister Trudeau and President Macron that they are charging the U.S. massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers. The EU trade surplus with the U.S. is $151 Billion, and Canada keeps our farmers and others out. Look forward to seeing them tomorrow.

Prime Minister Trudeau is being so indignant, bringing up the relationship that the U.S. and Canada had over the many years and all sorts of other things…but he doesn’t bring up the fact that they charge us up to 300% on dairy — hurting our Farmers, killing our Agriculture!

Why isn’t the European Union and Canada informing the public that for years they have used massive Trade Tariffs and non-monetary Trade Barriers against the U.S. Totally unfair to our farmers, workers & companies. Take down your tariffs & barriers or we will more than match you!

In March the Washington Post obtained audio of President Trump admitting at a private fundraiser that he lied to Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau about our trade deficit with Canada, when according to the Commerce department we actually have a surplus, the audio can be found @ Now This News.
Jake Tapper explains the trade surplus that might be a small deficit, saying that even if you take into account what Canada claims is a “deficit,” with the U.S. it’s still fairly small.
While waiting on Friday to depart for the G7 summit, that is suspected to be tense at best between at least 4 of the countries leaders that make up the G7, Canada, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, President Trump told reporters that Russia really should have been invited to attend.
Russia was kicked out of the summit in 2014, in response to Russia violating international law by invading Crimea.
Friday
Obama, Schumer and Pelosi did NOTHING about North Korea, and now weak on Crime, High Tax Schumer is telling me what to do at the Summit the Dems could never set up. Schumer failed with North Korea and Iran, we don’t need his advice!

Canada charges the U.S. a 270% tariff on Dairy Products! They didn’t tell you that, did they? Not fair to our farmers!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 8, 2018
Wait…What…roughly twelve hours before this tweet, President Trump tweeted it was 300%.
Looking forward to straightening out unfair Trade Deals with the G-7 countries. If it doesn’t happen, we come out even better!

Congratulations on winning the Cup.
I am heading for Canada and the G-7 for talks that will mostly center on the long time unfair trade practiced against the United States. From there I go to Singapore and talks with North Korea on Denuclearization. Won’t be talking about the Russian Witch Hunt Hoax for a while!
