U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking at a summit in Canada on Saturday, said trade among the G-7 nations should be free of tariffs and other barriers, in what looked like an olive branch to close allies amid simmering tensions over duties imposed on steel and aluminum.
"No tariffs, no barriers, that's the way it should be — and no subsidies," the president said at a press conference.

"Our Country was built on Tariffs, and Tariffs are now leading us to great new Trade Deals — as opposed to the horrible and unfair Trade Deals that I inherited as your President," Trump wrote in the tweet. "Other Countries should not be allowed to come in and steal the wealth of our great U.S.A. No longer!"

How can it be possible for other countries to deal with this one given Trump's penchant for flopping back and forth on foreign policy depending upon what he's being criticized for on any given morning?
