Squabbles erupt among G7 nations as their leaders gather for an annual summit, exposing sharp differences on global trade tensions, Brexit and how to respond to Amazon fires
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte welcome US President Donald Trump and his wife US First Lady Melania Trump ahead of a working dinner at the Biarritz lighthouse, France, August 24, 2019.
The delegations had barely arrived before divergences were exposed, with senior US officials accusing the host, French President Emmanuel Macron, of looking "to fracture the G7" by focusing on "niche issues" rather than major global concerns. While the transatlantic rift is the most stark, there are also deep divisions within the European camp, with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson making his G7 debut at a time when he is struggling to persuade EU capitals to renegotiate Britain's divorce from the bloc.
The regional administration says those detained are accused of throwing projectiles, concealing their faces or possessing objects that could be used as weapons. US officials say Macron surprised Trump at hotel. US is expressing frustration that much of G7 is about climate change, Africa development, gender inequality and other issues they see as "niche," in words of one senior admin official, and that French won't accept US edits.EU leaders rounded on Trump over his trade threats on Saturday at a G7 summit in France overshadowed by trans-Atlantic tensions and worries about the global economy.
"I am very concerned. The UK is at risk of being implicated in this. This is not the way to proceed," Johnson told reporters on the plane to the summit.G7 summits were once a meeting of like-minded allies –– Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States.In an attempt to lighten the mood, Macron deployed the charms of French cuisine diplomacy, treating the US leader to a surprise lunch minutes after he had arrived on Air Force One.
