Europe’s game plan for handling Trump at G7

The Pentagon has launched a review of the 2021 Aukus submarine deal with the UK and Australia, Donald Trump has said the US and China’s deal to restore their trade war truce is “done”, and US inflation rose less than expected to 2.4 per cent in May. Plus, European governments are braced for high-stakes negotiations with Trump that will put the continent’s defence, economy and security on the line.
