President Donald Trump has fired off a string of angry tweets criticising America\u2019s closest allies hours after leaving a divisive G7 summit in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Trump said the US paid \u201cclose to the entire cost of Nato\u201d to help protect countries that \u201crip us off on trade\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFair trade is now to be called fool trade,\u201d he added in response to the threat of new tariffs against the US.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has vowed retaliatory action next month over US tariffs on steel and aluminium.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Trump has also attacked Mr Trudeau personally, suggesting the Canadian prime minister is \u201cvery dishonest and weak\u201d and \u201cacts hurt when called out\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body__crosshead\"><strong>What has Trump said now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The US president, who is in Singapore for a landmark summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, tweeted on Monday that America was paying disproportionately more towards the costs of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) than fellow members.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"media-landscape has-caption

international military alliance, which comprises of 28 members including the UK, US, Germany, Canada and Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Trump went on to say that the US gets \u201cunfairly clobbered\u201d on trade despite \u201cprotecting Europe at great financial loss\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChange is coming!\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body__crosshead\"><strong>How did the spat unfold?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s latest tirade comes after a war of words erupted between the US and its G7 allies following Mr Trump\u2019s decision to reject a joint communique at the end of a tense summit in Quebec on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Trump said the move was based on Mr Trudeau\u2019s \u201cfalse statements\u2026 and the fact that Canada is charging massive tariffs to our US farmers, workers and companies\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In a news conference after the summit, Mr Trudeau had said that while he did not want to \u201cpunish American workers\u201d, his job was to protect Canadians and as such he would press ahead with tariffs on some US imports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCanadians are polite and reasonable but we will also not be pushed around,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Germany\u2019s Angela Merkel later described Mr Trump\u2019s decision to reject the joint communique initially agreed between the G7 leaders as \u201csobering\u201d and \u201cdepressing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Other G7 partners also seemed stunned by Mr Trump\u2019s reaction, and pledged to support the communique.<\/p>\n<p>French President Emmanuel Macron said international co-operation could not be \u201cdictated by fits of anger and throwaway remarks\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s be serious and worthy of our people,\u201d a statement from the French presidency said. \u201cWe make commitments and keep to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guy Verhofstadt, a former Belgian prime minister who as an MEP currently co-ordinates Brexit talks for the European Parliament, mocked Mr Trump\u2019s temper and supposed closeness to Russian President Vladimir Putin in a series of tweets.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, trading partners of the US have criticised new tariffs on steel and aluminium imports imposed by the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013<\/p>\n<p>Source: BBC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump has fired off a string of
