EU backs Canadian leader after Trump's sharp words
The European Union is backing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after US President Donald Trump branded him "dishonest" and "weak" following a weekend Group of Seven summit of leaders.
European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said the EU "stands fully behind" the joint statement issued at the end of the G-7.
He added that EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker thanks Trudeau "for the excellent preparation and chairing of this challenging summit."
