Canadian dollar lower after Trump attacks Trudeau over tariffs
Trump complained Sunday about Trudeau's criticism of tariff threats
The Canadian dollar was trading lower Monday
morning after U.S. President Donald Trump continued his attacks on
Canada and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Trump complained on Sunday that he had been blindsided by Trudeau's criticism of his tariff threats at a summit-ending news conference.
In tweets, Trump insulted Trudeau as "dishonest" and "weak."
Other Trump advisers also attacked Trudeau in TV appearances on Sunday.
Trump
trade adviser Peter Navarro said in an interview with Fox News that
"there's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in
bad faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump and then tries to
stab him in the back on the way out the door."
The loonie was trading at 76.87 cents US, down 0.28 of a cent from its average value of 77.15 cents US on Friday.

Here is a comparison of agricultural subsidies to both Canadian and American farmers:
https://viableopposition.blogspot.com/2018/06/farm-subsidies-in-canada-and-united.html
While the Trump Administration is pointing the finger at Canada's dairy industry, it need look no further than its own farming industry to see that it is clearly a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

@Nicole Temple And that’s why
the marketing boards were left out of NAFTA in the first place - the US
could never get a trade deal through Congress that ended US farm

programs.

And if NAFTA dies, 50 cent money? Possible. In any case there will be pain in Canada.

You have a very low opinion of Canada's dairy farmers.
They would become more competitive, invest in appropriate automation and would compete on the international stage. The weak would fail, of course. That's the way of things.
But the best would prtobably come to internationally dominate the sector.
They are better than you think they are.

@Rick Wier a lot of
reasonable people have concerns about the Canadian supply management
system. Beyond keeping prices high by limiting supply and setting
prices, it is also a barrier to new farmers with an entrenched quota
system. These quotas are not renewed and sold every year - farmers
can hang on to them year after year. It only protects the interests of
existing farmers. You can view this as a good thing but it is a
stretch to say protecting this system is in the interests of all
Canadians, many of whom have to deal with domestic and international
competition. Do we really want to trade off things like our steel
industry or auto industry to protect it?

There is a lot of speculation as to the "why" of that invasion. I am under the impression Bush invaded Iraq, because Iraq was trading oil in Euroes. Petroleum trade in greenbacks is key to keeping that currency afloat.

The New York Times had finally reported that after "shock and awe" was history in 2003 rooms full of brand new Federal Reserve Bank Notes (Yankee petrodollars) were found iaround Bagdad (Not in a bank) it was a big mystery to Yankees how all their cold cash had got there particularly when there had been embargo on Iraq for years.

Trump came to the summit with one thing on his agenda- letting Russia back in.
Since it didn't happen, he left early in a huff- like a petulant, spoiled child.

Trudeau ought to forgo the
task of dealing with an unstable character like Trump and let his
Foreign Minister deal with the US via their Secretary of State. For that
matter, so should all the other G7 leaders. They should stop dealing
with Trump personally and let diplomatic relations with the US be
handled by their subordinates. Trump can't be trusted and any attempt to placate him just feeds his ego
and increases his disdain for his allies. Keep it professional and
don't get dragged into his 'games'.
Graham Fawcett
@Gary Thomson The US
Department of State offices have hundreds of unfilled positions since
Trump took over. Key roles are deliberately empty. He alone is now

kind. More here: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-state-department-vacancies/

Polite language will never be adequate nor sufficient to describe or respond to Trump's two faced, belligerent nonsense.
On the subject of supply management: should Wisconsin and other States' dairy farmers instore such a system of their own, their livelihoods would be that much better protected. Could you imagine Trump demanding that we Canadians dismantle our public health care system complaining it is "unfair to cross border medical tourism"? That is not so far fetched.

'Special place in hell': Trump advisers blast Trudeau for comments at G7 summit
PM didn't respond to reporters' questions on the matter Sunday morning
· CBC News · Posted: Jun 10, 2018 10:59 AM ET
Top advisers to U.S. President Donald Trump are launching blistering attacks on Justin Trudeau for comments he made at the end of the G7 leaders' summit this weekend, with one going as far as to say the prime minister deserves a "special place in hell."
Speaking Saturday after Trump had departed for Singapore ahead of the much-anticipated North Korea meeting, Trudeau reiterated Canada's stance on the U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum: The duties are "insulting," Canada won't be pushed around, and he plans to retaliate with dollar-for-dollar tariffs.
The remarks drew some sharp words from Trump's top aides on Sunday's political talk shows.
"There's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump and then tries to stab him in the back on the way out the door," trade adviser Peter Navarro told Fox News.
Trudeau's comments only included statements he's previously made, the Prime Minister's Office pointed out in a statement, adding that Trudeau had made those remarks privately to Trump as well.
High-stakes North Korea summit
Trump's economic adviser Larry Kudlow also slammed Trudeau's message on CNN's State of the Union, suggesting it was a betrayal of the U.S. president before Trump meets North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore Tuesday.
"You don't walk away and start firing bullets," Kudlow said.
"POTUS is not going to let a Canadian prime minister push him around … on the eve of this," he said firmly. "Kim must not see American weakness."
Trudeau has done a "great disservice" to the G7 by saying Canada had to stand up for itself and that the U.S. was responsible for the problem with tariffs, Kudlow added.
The volleys come after Trump himself unleashed a string of tweets attacking the prime minister, sent from Air Force One as he was en route to Singapore.
It seemed the two-day G7 leaders' summit in La Malbaie, Que., had avoided descending into chaos over trade disagreements after a joint communiqué signed by all seven participating nations was issued Saturday.
But minutes after the official release of the document, Trump pulled the U.S. out of the communiqué citing "false statements" by Trudeau and calling the Canadian leader "very dishonest and weak."
Though tensions are running high among White House officials, it seems not every Republican appreciates the tone.
Sen. John McCain tweeted that Americans stand with Canada — even if the president doesn't.
"I can understand why President Trump, why the American people feel they need some better trade relationships," he said. "[But] this is the wrong target."
Harper went on to say he doesn't understand the obsession the U.S. has with Canadian trade, and that he learned during his time in office to keep disagreements between the two countries isolated to those particular issues, in order not to spoil the overall relationship.

"Canada does not believe that ad hominem attacks are a particularly appropriate or useful way to conduct our relations with other countries," she said.
Freeland said her focus will remain on fighting the "illegal" duties on steel and aluminum — not the verbal snubs from the White House.
"The most important thing is deeds rather than words," she said.
Trudeau didn't respond to reporters' questions when he arrived at the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City on Sunday morning and has so far not engaged the U.S. president on Twitter.

Trump's tweets undo a weekend of G7 diplomacy - and baffle Canadian officials
Trudeau said nothing Saturday he hasn't said before, his office says
It was an outburst that literally came out of the blue.
In the hours after Donald Trump launched a personal Twitter attack on Justin Trudeau from Air Force One, Canadian officials were at a loss to explain the U.S. president's anger over statements Trudeau made during his press conference to close the G7 summit.
Nothing Trudeau said in his news conference was new. The prime minister's office later made that point in a statement, adding that Trudeau had made those comments privately to Trump as well.
Trudeau had received polite applause from cabinet ministers and Canadian political staffers when he announced Saturday that the G7 countries had finalized a joint communiqué.
After a tough week and a challenging summit it was a victory for Trudeau that the leaders had managed to find consensus language on the difficult issue of trade.
The fragile consensus lasted about two hours before it was nuked by a tweet as Trump made his way to Singapore for the North Korea nuclear summit.
Trump proceeded to blast Trudeau as "meek and mild" and "very dishonest & weak" in a barrage that was sparked by the prime minister's assertion that U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum were "insulting" and his insistence that Canada would not be pushed around.

Trudeau closing press conference at G7 summit

During a one-on-one meeting in Taormina, Italy, the two leaders discussed Trump's desire to use tariffs to boost the American steel and aluminum sectors. According to the official, Trump gave assurances that Canada would be spared the hit saying "it would be an insult to Canada" to call them a national security threat.
A lot can change in a year. And once Trump decided to hit Canada with tariffs, Trudeau decided to hit the U.S. airwaves.
The senior official says that before the prime minister appeared on Meet the Press a week ago, he called Trump and told him what he would say. After the appearance was over, Trudeau spoke to Trump again and told him he would keep saying it until the tariffs were lifted.
So the prime minister's comments in La Malbaie Saturday should not have been a surprise to anyone.
But it provoked a reaction that undid hours of overnight diplomacy to reach the fragile and fleeting consensus.
Diplomatic acrobatics
The push for an agreement started on Friday night, as the G7 leaders sat around a campfire in La Malbaie to watch a performance by Quebec's world famous Cirque de Soleil.
It was fitting entertainment. Because if ever there was a meeting that needed acrobatics and contortions to get to an agreement it was this one.
Once the performance was over, Trudeau asked the leaders to step inside Le Manoir Richelieu to the room used as the leaders lounge for this summit. It was an unscheduled meeting to speak candidly on the issues that divided them.
There were deep divisions between the leaders and Trump that made a unanimous communiqué unlikely.
The post-campfire chat was the start of an overnight push to find common ground with Trump before he left early Saturday morning. Trump sat at the end of a couch, German Chancellor Angela Merkel to his right. Trudeau sitting to his left in a chair.
Once the leaders finished, their top officials — known as sherpas in summit parlance — worked through the night to finesse the leader's discussions into fine print.
The next morning — after a breakfast event on gender equality — Trudeau asked for another unscheduled leaders' meeting to discuss the communiqué.
Pictures from this private meeting were shared widely on social media by the leaders themselves. Trump sat with his arms crossed at a long rectangular table covered by a white table cloth. The other leaders and their officials stood around the U.S. president in an attempt to knit the G7 back together.
Word of their success started to leak out in tweets and off-the-record comments from G7 officials. But the negotiations were so last minute that the communiqué still wasn't finalized, formatted and translated when Trudeau announced the agreement at his summit ending news conference.
Trump 'will continue to say what he says'
It appears to be a consensus that exists on paper and not necessarily in the mind of the U.S. president. While the sherpas were still working — and hours before Trudeau spoke — the president held his own summit-ending news conference.
Trump told the world that the G7 had failed to change his mind when it came to trade.
"The U.S. has been taken advantage of for decades," the president said. "We are like the piggy bank everybody is robbing."
"It has to stop, or we will stop trading with them," Trump warned, adding that nations that retaliated against U.S. tariffs are "making a mistake."

"The president will continue to say what he says at various occasions," Trudeau said, when asked about Trump's departing words.
"Obviously, if the expectation was that a weekend in beautiful Charlevoix surrounded by lovely people was going to transform the president's outlook on trade in the world, then we didn't quite perhaps meet that bar."
Canadian officials had been downplaying the importance a communiqué right up to the point that it was clear there would be one. But even though all seven countries signed the declaration, there are other notable points of disagreement. The United States is refusing to endorse the section on climate change.
The U.S. and Japan have balked at signing onto a plastics charter to curb ocean pollution.
The optimistic take was that the leaders had found some common ground on trade.
That optimism didn't survive a 280-character rant.
The leaders leave Quebec's Charlevoix region with tariffs still in place, retaliation looming and a punishing trade war on the horizon.
From Canada's perspective, NAFTA remains unresolved. There was another vague promise to accelerate talks. But Trudeau and Trump publicly disagreed on the American deal-breaker demand for a sunset clause. And the president's tweet storm took their disagreements into the realm of personal insults.
It's clear this meeting did nothing to move the leaders closer to settling the big economic issues that divide them.
But this appears to be what consensus looks like in the age of Donald Trump.
