Finance ministers from six of the world's largest economies in a rare step expressed "disappointment" over President Donald Trump's unilateral decision to slap tariffs on steel and aluminum on its allies. "President Trump has been very clear in wanting to address trade issues," Mnuchin said. Just before the G7 summit ended, Trump tweeted that "the United States must, at long last, be treated fairly on trade." Canadian finance minister: Trump tariff rationale 'absurd'"If we charge a country ZERO to sell their goods, and they charge us 25, 50 or even 100 percent to sell ours, it is UNFAIR and can no longer be tolerated. A few hours later, Trump took to Twitter again, suggesting that the US has been taken advantage of by it allies.
