France is pressing the White House to endorse a global pledge at the Group of Seven summit to better fight against the spread of hate speech on the internet.

European Council President Donald Tusk has promised EU retaliation if the U.S. makes good on its threats to impose tariffs on French wine.

The summit begins Saturday in the southern French resort town of Biarritz. Tusk warned in particular against trade wars, which he said could lead to a global recession. Other threats include climate change, and technology that is developing more quickly than the ability to regulate.12:25 p.m. Protesters planned to cross into Spain from the French border village town of Hendaye. As the march began, they held cardboard signs aloft with pictures of Earth, protesting against climate policies they blame on the world’s G-7 countries.

Relations between two countries, both allies of the U.S., are at their lowest point since they established diplomatic ties in 1965.11:05 a.m. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has made clear she shares Macron’s concern about the fires. But her government said in an emailed response Saturday to a query about the threat to the Mercosur deal that its trade section “includes an ambitious sustainability chapter with binding rules on climate protection,” in which both sides committed to implementing the Paris climate accord.

She said leaders are “shaken” by the fires and that they will discuss “how we can support and help there, and send a clear call that everything must be done so that the rainforest stops burning.”

LOL, fuck no.

Hate speech is just speech that people in power dont like.

Even if Trump agreed he would never follow up so the time spent pressing him should be spent on something else.

You'd have to start with the WhiteHouse.

Good luck. He wants to make social media a conservative only platform.

Être le mieux. Is French one of Melania's languages?

They want Trump to reject his base?

Hey, help us police the expression of ideas!

The WH and trump are the primary source of hate speech on the internet...Trump.will be all over this. Not.

America has 'freedom of speech' not suppression of opinion. That's what makes America different!

France can EABOD

If I had a drink for each good luck on that I'd be on the floor.

Hahahahahaha... I’m sorry, but that they even bothered to ask him to enforce civility on any platform is laughable and very sad at this point.

That will not happen with this President. Because he is Racist.

Be Best from FLOTUS is simply empty nonsense

Can’t imagine he’ll go along with that. Would be like a muzzle for him

Good luck with that! Trump is the main idiot doing just that!! He has nothing else he can use for his tweets!!!TrumpLies TrumpIsABully

This would be akin to a gag order for Donnie Two Face. Make it so

It is though, a kind gesture and thank you G7 for that.

Ha ha!! Good luck in trying! Donnie may concede, in the moment- but after that, and on his to th G7 summit and on his way home, he’ll be tweeting hate speeches!

They are asking the Arian House 1600 Pennsylvania ave for help against hate!...lmao

frannie1225 yeah, good luck with that. hate speech is what keeps assolini afloat.

Who gets to define this?

It is amazing how many people forget that America has a First Amendment!

Trump will never agree to this. Bigotry & hate are America’s biggest exports.

The fact that pressure needs to be applied is disheartening to say the least.

No such thing as hate speech

Ask to disavow Q?

🍄 would rather continue to practicing hate speeches. Isn't that right, WhiteHouse

LOL! These people are stupid.

I’m sure it is. Patriot act part 2 what a joke to steal more freedoms.

We are currently losing the worlds most important resource at a rapid rate but yeah, why not focus on mean words on the internet.

'... the pledge includes a commitment to fight terrorist and hate speech on the internet...' Hate speach as defined by whom.

You mean free speech... which could also suspend and silence the AP because any country city or person deems thier reporting as hate ... AP careful what you wish for ..

The call is coming from inside the House.

Trouble is hate speech quickly becomes defined as “speech I hate”- everyone in power hates speech that threatens that power.

No chance of that with realDonaldTrump vilifying people and bringing the highest office of the biggest democracy into disrepute and making the USA a laughing stock.

Then who would trump retweet?

Like that's gonna happen....🤦🏻‍♂️

Nope

Hey Macron, u really think our RacistInChief would ever...

Nah, we rather be able to tell someone they fking suck freely thanks.

What a joke...Trump will avoid this.

High hopes!

Let’s call the overseers the department of Love

Is aggressively criticising someone bombing civilians 'hate' speech? Becareful what you wish for. The biggest hate is committed by governments, dissent will be criminalize. Solution to 'hate' speech is more speech, free speech.

Did they talk to Melania about how well that works?

When is Hong Kong being discussed

aenergiebewust Then realDonaldTrump would not be able to spread his own HateSpeech?😇😋

So who determines 'hate speech' on the internet? In France isn't it illegal to call someone a homophobe? To criticize Mohammed? To wear religious apparel in school? That's not Free Speech. 🤔

I hope he didn't fly all the way to France to make 'global pledges.' about hate speech. You better hope so too.

Have the SEEN Trump's twitter feed?

Hate speech = anything globalist bosses don't like. Freedom of THEIR speech only

You have every right to express hate....you just cant commit a crime because of it...

World wide liberal crying that doesn’t like hurty words, but won’t think twice about actual physical violence.. fk off fascists

rhonda_harbison Good luck with that.

Will that include CNN and the Main Stream Media ? And the French Media in their Trump bashing ? No,... ? Forget it than !

Good luck with that. I won’t be surprised if he spouts something racist and hateful while at the G7. Ivanka will be at all the meetings of importance spouting nothing but word salad.

😂😂😂😂😂

Oh well good luck with that France 🇫🇷. You are going to need it

Trump’s response.

Something in the middle perhaps!

What is realDonaldTrump going to do with himself if he can not tweet hate propaganda? Naturally he will refuse. Or, maybe he will agree and smile and shake hands and tweet his 'great talks with my friends' Then, he will ignore, refuse, and tweet hate.

Good luck

The U.S. government can certainly pledge to help stop speech that violates its laws regarding incitement to imminent violence. It cannot use the arbitrary term 'hate speech' which has no standing in law, or a agreed upon definition as that violates the the 1st Amendment.

Maybe Melania can add it to her Be Best initiative.

¿tRumpf, against hateful speech? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Haha. Be best and ask Melania. That’s her pet project. 🙄

Hey America, France here. Could you please get rid of your 1st Amendment? People say mean things on the internet.

Good luck with that

je ne sais pas homies.

The usual suspects trying to destroy freedom of speech....! Their new HQ is the Brussels latrine....!

One of the biggest offenders is sitting at the table, good luck with that, and his sole agenda will be to make it a G8 , with Russia

stefprovost Yeah that isn't going to happen. trump would never be able to tweet again.

THE WHITE HOUSE IS THE BIGGEST SPREADER OF HATE IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW EmmanuelMacron

Considering trump is one of the instigators of some of said hate speech!

A bunch of Europeans trying to tell us what to do, how to live, and what to say...I seem to remember this going bad for them the last time.

Define “hate speech.” Whatever you come up with, is situational. It will change. Total Free Speech - allowing even the worst offenders - is the only logical course of action. People are smart enough to decide who to support for themselves.

Big issues to tackle between parties at G7.

The only way to stop the WhiteHouse from spreading hate-speech, is to suspend their Twitter account. 🏛🍊🤡🚫📱🤬

GreerJorgia you were just talking about this

Everything comes out of Macron’s mouth is idiotic and incoherent. He wants to use supposed hate speech bam to shut down criticism him and use force against legitimate protests.

G7 w/o Russia & JacksonHole w/o Japan. World is headless. No epicenter of gravity.

So how would the Republicans then campaign?

Yeah, we have something called the First Amendment.

Well considering the present incumbent of the WH is the main culprit they may as well talk to the wall.

That would mean the asshole in the Oval Office would have to stop tweeting, so yeah that’s not gonna happen. I’m sure he’ll have something rude and obnoxious to say about this as the day goes on

That's nice.

Should we tell them?

FU, France.

Hate speech needs careful definition. In the US it could mean a pro-life position. Or any viewpoint that doesn't comport with progressive ideology.

Hate speech? Watch how Milo describes what 'hate speech' really is on Tucker Carlson Tonight. 11:22

Good. Attack Trump before he has a chance to poison the air.

Yeah..... Good luck with that one.

That is a good one!

Twitter could help by suspending Trump’s account.

newsaspect Frexit 🇫🇷

They will have to boot Trump out and have a G6. Trump is the chief of have speech

Yeah there is this wonderful thing called the first amendment

Trump won’t agree it will upset his supporters

🖕🖕🖕

Okay. How weird. I literally just read a news story about France instigating a civil war in Mali to exploit the area for natural resources 🤯

Of course they are. They have nothing better to think about

Waste of time! Trump won't do it even if he signs it!

I prefer FreeSpeech

Good luck with that France 👀😂👀 👇

Lol. Yeah Trump will get right on this.

I remember a popular German who used to censor speech like that.

State Mandated Censorship sounds just dandy, I mean just beautiful. All the best, free nations have it. We should all give up our right to free speech so that we can never question or criticise. Now let’s all take our Soma or Prozium II. Everything is fine.

Hahaha! You don't expect Fat Donnie to sign that trick document do you?

We have a first amendment

Good luck with that

Lol. Yup, Trump is your guy!

Unfortunately given that it was both hate speech and a certain dictators influence that got the current cluster f*** into the White House in the first I’m a wee bit pessimistic in a guy like trump taking the pledge

From tRump?! Glwt!

If trump agreed to stop the spread of hate speech on the internet what would he do with all that time he spends dispensing his form of hate via the internet? Maybe he can take more time off to play more golf. He now takes more time off than the last 5 president put together.

No can do. What would the President vomit onto Twitter every day instead of working? Selfies with celebs?

Trump's view of hate speech is anything the left says, that criticizes him, or any of his supporters. As long as he calls Democrat Jewish Americans disloyal, he is doing exactly what Hitler did.

Free speech!!

What's next? Have laws like in certain European countries where if you post 'hate speech' you get a knock on your door by the police? Yeah how about F* No to your BS Hate Speech.

F anything global

Be Best.

Oh boi have fun 😞

Question: What is “hate speech”? Answer: Things that the left doesn’t want you to say. Fascism

Hahahahahahahahaha. Have they read his tweets?

That's unlikely. What would Trump tweet?

.....meanwhile in Paris

The Latest: France taking 150 of the 356 migrants from shipMADRID (AP) — The Latest on the plight of migrants arriving in Europe (all times local): 1:20 p.m. France says it will take 150 of the 356 migrants disembarking from a humanitarian... It won't turn out well for those foolish 6 European countries. If Europe keeps taking them. They will keep coming until your nation becomes like theirs then they will move on to the next. Leaving yours a wreck of a 3rd world nation. The solution is to ban these NGOs. They may sincerely believe they are helping, but they are actually a magnet for illegal attempts to migrate. Without their interference the problem would be minimal.
