The unusual picture of the G7 summit, meet the protagonists

A picture where all participants stand around the table where the president of the United States is sitting, Donald Trump. But who are the people shown in the picture?

1. Donald Trump, president of America: Trump shocked the allies of the United States, mainly the European Union, Mexico and Canada, when it recently announced the tariffs of steel and aluminum imports from these countries, by 25% and 10%, respectively. The Allies did not sit back and threaten revenge, a disagreement that prevailed in the summit, often leaving the American president isolated. Trump left early on from others, complaining that America looked like a <x0 Group saving which they were all exhuming. However, his relationship with other G7 leaders remains at maximum levels.

2. John Bolton, National Trump Security Adviser: It has been only three months since he was appointed to the post of top security adviser in President Trump's cabinet, but John Bolton undoubtedly had his impact. One of the president's arguments about setting tariffs to allies had exactly nature “because of national security”, a view Bolton has strongly supported.

3. Unidentified.

4. Shinzo Abe, prime minister of Japan: Abe has been placed in the face of increasing pressure to join common revenge measures against American tariffs. This puts him in a difficult position after trying to cultivate a warm relationship with President Trump, while both sides have met at least 10 times since the latter has been elected at the top of the White House.

5. Yasutoish Nisimura, Japanese cabinet secretary: MP from Japan's ruling party has once worked at the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.

6. Angela Merkel, German Chancellor: Europe's “Iron Zone” has been in the forefront of negotiations, in an effort to iron differences in the summit, as the picture confirms. Merkel has apparently suggested establishing a mechanism to resolve trade disputes between the United States and the allies during Friday. Asked during her summit on her relationship with President Trump, Merkel has indicated that the two leaders do not always agree, but still speak to each other. “I can say that I still maintain an extremely open and direct relationship with the American president”.

7. Emmanuel Macro, French president: Macron got involved in a <x0-combat fight” on Twitter with President Trump on tariffs, just hours before the summit started, prompting some to doubt whether the “defence” between them was over. Despite that, they were seen in a healthy state, while President Macron's team said his talks with Trump had been “sincere and established”.

8. Theresa May, prime minister of Great Britain: In a phone call last week, she told President Trump that she saw US tariffs “unjustified and deeply confusing”. But during the summit, she held a more conciliatory tone, urging other leaders to withdraw from the real possibility of causing a possible trade war.

9. Larry Kudlow, director of the American National Economics Council: President Trump's top economic adviser has come up in defense of the White House chief's move to raise tariffs and says his “bos must not be seen as responsible for promoting trade conflicts with America's allies. Kudlow also says the president's call to eliminate all tariffs between G7 countries is the best “ways to promote economic growth”.

The above picture was published by Merkel on the Instagram social network, but the same situation from another angle was put into “Titter” also by President Macro.
