Peter Navarro said the Canadian boss had tried to "stab Trump in the back" after they locked horns over steel and aluminium tariffs
DONALD Trump's top trade adviser says there's a "special place in hell" for Canada's PM after the spectacular G7 fall-out.
Peter Navarro told news Canadian boss Justin Trudeau had tried to "stab Trump in the back" after they locked horns over steel and aluminium tariffs.
The US President was so incensed by comments made to reporters by the Canadian PM that he pulled the US out of the joint communique he had signed just hours earlier on Saturday.
He also went on a Twitter rant after the G7 summit debacle, calling Trudeau "dishonest and weak".
Mr Navarro told Fox: "There's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump and then tries to stab him in the back on the way out the door."
He said the same sentiment had been shared aboard Air Force One as it flew to Singapore for Trump's historic meet up with North Korea despot, Kim Jong-un.
European Union official Donald Tusk hit back on Twitter, posting: "There is a special place in heaven for Justin Turdeau. Canada, thank you for the perfect organisation of G7."
Meanwhile, Trumps top economic boss, Larry Kudlow told that Canadian boss Justin Trudeau had "betrayed" the US.
He said tonight: ""It was a betrayal.
"He really kind of stabbed us in the back."
Earlier today, France and Germany rebuked Donald Trump for his “fits of anger” today after he left the G7 in disarray by ripping up the summit’s closing statement.
It is the first time the summit of the world’s seven most powerful nations has ended without a joint communique.
Mr Macron attacked Mr Trump’s decision - saying international co-operation “cannot be dictated by fits of anger and throwaway remarks”.
German foreign minister Heiko Maas blasted: “In a matter of seconds, you can destroy trust with 280 Twitter characters.”
But Washington defended the President’s decision - and placed the blame on the Canadian PM for “stabbing us in the back” by using his closing press conference to criticise Mr Trump’s steel tariffs.
The fiery summit of G7 leaders in Quebec had ended with a much-amended joint statement agreeing to pursue “free, fair and mutually beneficial trade and investment” and said they would “continue to fight protectionism”. It followed through-the-night negotiations.
But closing the summit, host Mr Trudeau infuriated Mr Trump by saying the leaders had taken part in “strong, firm conversations on trade and specifically on American tariffs.”
It sparked a furious response from Mr Trump - and just hours after signing up to the much-amended text, he announced his U-turn on Twitter on board Air Force One.
He wrote: “Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!”
Mr Trump added: “PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around.”
"Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!”
