President Donald Trump said Friday he wants to use the G-7 summit to resolve what he called unfair trade deals with US allies.
America's closest allies are bracing for a showdown with Trump at the G7 summit, as anger at being slapped with trade tariffs by their most powerful member threatened to split the club.
Four days before Trump's ice-breaking summit with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore, the president can expect a far chillier reception when he hops across the border to Canada.
Much of his fellow members' anger stems from Trump's recent imposition of tariffs on imported steel and aluminum.
But relations had already been soured by the US pullout from the Paris climate accord and the Iran nuclear deal.
