Fox News: Trump’s Trip Ended with Disagreements with European Democracies
EDSON: “Merkel says Europeans will maintain friendships with the United States and Great Britain even as the United Kingdom negotiates its withdrawal from the European Union. The President even shared a tense, lengthy handshake with newly elected French President Emmanuel Macron. He told the French publication, quote, 'My handshake with President Trump was not innocent, not the alpha and omega of a policy but a moment of truth. We must show we won’t make small concessions, even symbolic ones.' And as the G7 gathered in Sicily to discuss the Paris accord on climate change, Merkel says their discussion on that topic with President Trump left the group 6 against 1. The President says he will decide this week whether to withdraw the U.S. from that climate agreement. And so a trip that began with a spectacular embrace in Saudi Arabia ends with some disagreements with the European democracies.”
