Trump at G7: "All terrorists live in Paris", Juncker a "brutal killer"

Participants of the G7 meeting reportedly had a hard time restraining themselves when the US President Donald Trump shared his insights on migration and terrorism with the French President, threatened to send the Japanese Prime Minister 25 million Mexicans and slammed the European Commission President during talks in Canada.

A senior EU official summed up his behind-the-scenes experience at the meeting of the leaders of the world’s most powerful developed economies in Canada on June 8-9 by telling the Wall Street Journal: “A sense of irritation with Mr. Trump could be felt, but everyone tried to be rational and calm."

According to the report, the US President got into debates about trade issues and immigration, and went as far as to reproach Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. "Shinzo, you don’t have this problem, but I can send you 25 million Mexicans and you’ll be out of office very soon," Trump allegedly said Abe.

Attendees were also taken back by what he reportedly told France’s President Emmanuel Macron amid discussions about counter-terrorism and Iran. "You must know about this Emmanuel because all the terrorists are in Paris," Trump told Macron, according to the WSJ.

The US President also reportedly took aim at European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, who criticized Trump for his tariff policy. He called the top European official a "brutal killer" for the way the European Union treats the US tech giants. However, according to the Telegraph, Juncker said that he believes it was meant as a compliment, Sputnik reports.
