Macron to promote climate effort at G-7 summit in France despite differences with USTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Emmanuel Macron said that President Donald Trump’s presence at the G-7 summit of Biarritz, in southwestern France, is not being questioned, AP reports.

Macron said in Paris the summit also aims at easing tensions on world trade, stressing the importance to “understand where our differences lie” and “how we can overcome them.” 

Last year, Trump roiled the G-7 meeting in Canada by first agreeing to a statement on trade before withdrawing from it while complaining that he had been blindsided by Canada’s criticism of tariff threats.
