NAVAL AIR STATION SIGONELLA, Sicily (AP) — President Donald Trump says G-7 allies are pushing to end “all trade-distorting practices.”
The president tweeted as he departed Sicily for Washington, concluding his nine-day maiden overseas trip.
The president writes, “Just left the #G7Summit. Had great meetings on everything, especially on trade where… “we push for the removal of all trade-distorting practices….to foster a truly level playing field.”
Trump discussed trade with the leaders of Italy, Britain, France, Germany, Canada and Japan during the summit, but it was not immediately clear what he meant by the tweet. Trump has advocated for fair trade, not free trade.
