NATO leaders set aside public insults ranging from "delinquent" to "brain dead" and "two-faced", declaring at a 70th anniversary summit they would stand together against a common threat from Russia and prepare for China's rise. "He's two-faced," Trump said of his North American neighbour. But in a news conference after the summit, Trudeau said his "jaw drop" comment had been referring to Trump's unexpected announcement that the next G7 summit will take place at Camp David and he had meant no offence. US President Donald Trump declaring France's President Emmanuel Macron "nasty" (right) and Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "two-faced". In his comments to the press, Stoltenberg said that while Russia was a threat, NATO also wanted to ensure a constructive dialogue with it.
