Greeting: The Canadian Prime Minister welcomed President Macron on Wednesday in Ottawa

President Macron said on Thursday that no leader was forever, suggesting a more confrontational attitude towards President Donald Trump as leaders from the G7 countries prepare to clash on trade.
Asked by reporters whether the problem with Trump was that he ‘didn’t care about being isolated’, Macron said: ‘You say the U.S. President doesn’t care at all. Maybe, but nobody is forever.
‘The six countries of the G7 without the United States, are a bigger market taken together than the American market.’
He added: ‘There will be no world hegemony if we know how to organize ourselves. And we don’t want there to be one.’
President Macron had so far taken a more conciliatory tone with Trump, whom he calls his ‘friend’. On Thursday, although he said it was important to remain civil, he signaled his intention to close ranks with other leaders.
The French president added: ‘Maybe the American president doesn’t care about being isolated today, but we don’t mind being six, if needs be.’
