EU leaders round on Trump over trade at G7 summit in France amid anti-capitalism protests
French Gendarmes detain a man during a demonstration in the city of Bayonne, south-west France on August 24, 2019, on the sidelines of the annual G7 Summit.
Earlier, thousands of anti-globalisation activists, Basque separatists and "yellow vest" protesters marched peacefully across France's border with Spain to demand action from G7 leaders meeting in the nearby coastal resort of Biarritz. "The last thing we need is confrontation with our best ally the United States," EU Council President Donald Tusk said on Saturday while adding that the bloc would "respond in kind" to any new US tariffs.
Speaking to reporters in fluent English, Macron called Trump "a very special guest" and aides later said that the two men had found some common ground, notably on the Iran nuclear crisis.Trump, sitting across the small table on a terrace of the ornate Hotel du Palais, appeared to be softened by the warm, unscheduled welcome.
