Trump news: EU president launches blistering attack on president as Johnson vows to confront him over trade war

Japanese prime minister Abe Shinzo has arrived for the G7 summit amid escalating tensions with South Korea. 

South Korea canceled a deal to share military intelligence, mainly on North Korea, after a trade dispute between the two countries. 

Relations between two countries, both allies of the US, are at their lowest point since they established diplomatic ties in 1965.

Donald Trump has landed in France for the G7 summit.

Hundreds of protesters are marching as the G7 leaders arrive in the French resort town of Biarritz. 

Protesters planned to cross into Spain from the French border village town of Hendaye.

As the march began, they held cardboard signs aloft with pictures of Earth, protesting against climate policies they blame on the world's G7 countries. 

Mr Macron, the French president and host, put the Amazon fires at the top of the agenda for the weekend meeting. 

Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council, has said under no condition can he agree with Donald Trump's proposal to bring Russia back into the G7.

In a further thinly veiled dig at Mr Trump, Mr Tusk also said G7 leaders should make more of an effort to find common language on Iran and said trade wars among G7 members would lead to already weakened trust.

He said if Mr Trump was using tariffs as a political tool it could be risky for the whole world.

Mr Tusk said "the last thing we need and want is confrontation with our best ally, the United States."

But he said France can count on EU loyalty for one of its most valuable exports. 

Mr Tusk said this year's summit will be an "unusually difficult" meeting and warned it could be the last moment to restore unity among the G7 countries.

Speaking ahead of his meeting with Mr Johnson, Mr Tusk said: "He will be the third British Conservative prime minister with whom I will discuss Brexit.

"The EU was always open to co-operation when David Cameron wanted to avoid Brexit, when Theresa May wanted to avoid a no-deal Brexit and we will also be ready now to hold serious talks with Prime Minister Johnson.

"One thing I will not co-operate on is no deal. I still hope that Prime Minster Johnson will not like to go down in history as 'Mr No Deal'.

"We are willing to listen to ideas that are operational, realistic and acceptable to all member states including Ireland, if and when the UK government is ready to put them on the table."

France is pressing the White House to endorse a global pledge at the G7 summit to better fight against the spread of hate speech on the internet.

Cedric O, a French official in charge of digital economy, told reporters that the other six nations in the G7 have already backed the pledge, as have Google and Facebook.

The US did not endorse a similar pledge after the mosque attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, earlier this year.

Mr O said the pledge includes a commitment to fight terrorist and hate speech on the internet, transparency on the process, and defense of freedom of expression. 

Donald Tusk says "under no condition" can the G7 welcome Russia back as Mr Trump suggested 

Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, has said the G7 leaders "cannot be silent" in the face of fires sweeping parts of Brazil's Amazon and will call for everything to be done to stop fires in the rainforest. 

Germany is backing the French president Emmanuel Macron's call to discuss the fires at the weekend's French-hosted G7 summit.

Ms Merkel said in her weekly video message released Saturday: "Emmanuel Macron is right — our house is burning, and we cannot be silent." 

She said leaders are "shaken" by the fires and that they will discuss "how we can support and help there, and send a clear call that everything must be done so that the rainforest stops burning." 

Amid a series of policy and trade disagreements, which she didn't address explicitly, Ms Merkel said that "talking to each other is always better than about each other — and the G7 is an excellent opportunity for that." 

Germany says impeding a trade deal between the European Union and South American trade bloc Mercosur won't help reduce the destruction of rainforest in Brazil. 

On Friday, Mr Macron, the French president, threatened to block the recently agreed trade deal with Mercosur, which also includes Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. Ireland joined in the threat. 

Ms Merkel, the German chancellor, has made clear she shares Mr Macron's concern about the fires.

But her government said its trade section "includes an ambitious sustainability chapter with binding rules on climate protection," in which both sides committed to implementing the Paris climate accord. 

It added: "The non-conclusion [of the deal] is therefore from our point of view not the appropriate response to what is currently happening in Brazil."
