Trump: France, Canada charge U.S. 'massive tariffs'
WASHINGTON, June 7 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Thursday, one day before he attends a summit of the Group of Seven rich nations in Quebec, that France and Canada charge the United States "massive tariffs" and have non-monetary barriers to trade.
"Please tell Prime Minister Trudeau and President Macron that they are charging the U.S. massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers," Trump said on Twitter, adding that he "looks forward to seeing them" on Friday.
Please tell Prime Minister Trudeau and President Macron that they are charging the U.S. massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers. The EU trade surplus with the U.S. is $151 Billion, and Canada keeps our farmers and others out. Look forward to seeing them tomorrow.

Prime Minister Trudeau is being so indignant, bringing up the relationship that the U.S. and Canada had over the many years and all sorts of other things...but he doesn’t bring up the fact that they charge us up to 300% on dairy — hurting our Farmers, killing our Agriculture!
