The British media are criticizing Donald Trump's stance and behavior during the recent G7 summit in Quebec, Canada.
They claim that the American president was initially reluctant to go the G7 summit in Canada and was late for almost every session, not to mention the fact that he refused to discuss the duties he imposed on the American import of steel and aluminum. Later on, after Donald Trump left the summit prematurely, he insulted the other participants of the G7 summit in Twitter.
In one of the recent articles in The Financial Times, one of the editors regretted that Donald Trump had visited the G7 summit. Not only did he criticize the closest allies of the United States, he also suggested inviting Putin to the summit and restore the G8.
According to the British media, Donald Trump literally isolated himself from the Western political elite and turned the G7 into the G6+1. Now the G6 is forced to resist the USA's protectionism while maintaining the existing world order until this craze in the white House is finally over.
The Guardian claims that the failed G7 summit may well become a turning point for Western democracies. The author of the article doesn't deny the scenario according to which the American president makes friends with the North Korean dictator.
They claim that President Trump's narcissism and clowning are destroying the existing world order established after World War II since the USA has been its cornerstone ever since. It seems that President Trump has split the Western democratic world. Without the United States, the Western world will eventually fail to support the existing world order. The core values of the liberal democracy as well as the international trade and law are now in jeopardy. So, the British media claim that the rest of the Western world will have to close ranks in order avoid cyberattacks and other hostile actions coming from Russia and China.
