QUEBEC CITY—As President Donald Trump seeks to reform decades-old trade practices that have put the United States at a disadvantage, the U.S. partners in the G7 have resisted changes to the status quo. As a result, at least temporarily, a kind of cold war has broken out between the United States and its allies.
The Group of Seven (G7) summit that took place in Charlevoix, Quebec, ended on June 9, with a further escalation of tensions over trade, as a press conference held by the host, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, evoked a strong response from Trump.
