Senior aides in Donald Trump’s entourage have accused the G7 host and French president, Emmanuel Macron, of seeking to embarrass his US counterpart by making the summit focus on “niche issues” such as climate change, according to multiple US media reports.
The spark for the fuse appeared to be lunch. Macron whisked the US president away for an impromptu meal for two on an oceanfront terrace at the Hotel du Palais. Trump initially appeared frosty but later called it “the best meeting we have yet had”.
Days earlier, Larry Kudlow, the director of the White House’s national economic council, criticised Macron’s decision to ditch the usual consensus communique at the end of the summit in favour of “coalitions’ of like-minded states. “These coalitions produce politically correct bromides such as calls to ban everything from straws to fossil fuels,” he said in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece.
Get off the histrionics and on to the genuinely global issues facing the West...and the world.
Climate change is an emergency. I am glad to be seeing world leaders begin the conversation. If Trump is too stupid and backwards to jump on the bus, then leave him behind, as we will in 2020, if not before.ClimateCrisis
The Climate Crisis is the most important issue any country could discuss, but here we are again being the only one not participating. All because Trump wants to brag about his 'economic brilliance', which, in fact, is about to drag the world into a recession. 😡
