President Donald Trump will leave early from the Group of Seven summit in Quebec, where he’ll face backlash over his trade policies, and head straight to Singapore to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
G-7 leaders are meeting Friday and Saturday in what’s shaping up to be the most divisive gathering of leaders from major industrialized nations in years. America’s closest allies are frustrated by Trump’s imposition of steel and aluminum tariffs last week, as well as his decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Iranian nuclear accord and the Paris climate agreement.
