President Trump is heading to Canada for the G-7 summit on Friday. The weather is expected to be mild, but he is likely to get a frosty reception from the other world leaders in the group.

Ahead of Trump’s arrival, French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted suggesting the international Group of Seven could issue a communique at the end of the summit that leaves out the United States. “The American President may not mind being isolated, but neither do we mind signing a 6 country agreement if need be,” Macron wrote.

Not to be outdone, Trump responded on Twitter saying that both Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “are charging the U.S. massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers.”
