Emmanuel Macron is determined not Trump steal the show at this year's G7 summit, so he has come up with a cunning plan: There will be no communiqué
And that's without even getting into the deep international disagreements over issues as diverse as Iran and climate change.
He said a renegotiation of the Brexit deal to remove the Irish border backstop provision, as suggested this week by Johnson,"is not an option ... because what Johnson suggests in the letter he sent ... is to choose between the integrity of the European market and the respect of the Good Friday Agreement. We wouldn’t choose between these two."
He said major progress in the conflict in Ukraine would have to be found before Moscow could be welcomed back into the fold. "I think saying that Russia can return to the table without any conditions is enacting the weakness of the G7," he said."It would be a strategic mistake and a profound injustice."
But he stressed that the 3 percent digital tax he spearheaded — adopted by nine other European countries after failing to get it adopted on the EU level — did not exclusively target American companies, but rather companies with a certain level of revenue.
