G-7 summit ends with little consensus amid Trump's mixed messaging on the trade war
BIARRITZ, France — A global summit between President Trump and other leaders ended here without significant progress on any of the world’s most pressing issues, laying bare the widening gulf between the United States and other nations as they struggle to address issues like trade and climate change.
French President Emmanuel Macron said leaders at the Group of Seven summit agreed to endorse just a one-page document of issues and then to continue working on a variety of other challenges that have proved elusive, including trade imbalances, climate change and Iran, among other things.
“There was a lot of nervousness at the outset,” Macron said. He said that the three days of talks here had a “lot of tension and we had a lot of conflicts,” but he considered it a success that they were even able to produce a one-page document.
Trump seemed pleased with the outcome.
“This was a very special, very unified two-and-a-half days,” Trump said.
