Ben Meiselas: 特朗普像个懦夫一样逃离了G7峰会,因为他害怕与泽连斯基、莫迪和辛鲍姆会面。他声称离开的原因是不喜欢用手机,需要返回美国。在世界各国领导人会晤时,特朗普却在宣布他要在白宫南北草坪上竖起两根漂亮的旗杆,他的行为像个任性的小孩。马克龙发布了他与泽连斯基在G7的会面,展示了成年人的行为方式,并强调了对乌克兰人民的声援和对俄罗斯的施压。德国总理默茨表示将继续对乌克兰提供军事支持,并对俄罗斯的袭击表示谴责,强调必须结束战争。默茨强烈反对特朗普让普京加入G7的观点,强调不能让野蛮的战争贩子进入G7。 Friedrich Merz: 我们不能与战争狂人和战争罪犯同席而坐,普京不应该出现在这里。 Zelensky: 即使美国总统特朗普现在没有对俄罗斯施加足够的压力,但事实是美国仍然拥有最全球化的利益和最多的盟友,他们都需要强有力的保护。我们必须继续在政治、外交、技术和投资方面保持最高水平的协调合作。增加在乌克兰的武器生产是取得成果的最快途径。我们必须继续敦促特朗普利用他真正拥有的影响力,迫使普京结束这场战争。最初是美国和特朗普提议停火,恢复外交,但俄罗斯阻止了所有努力。战争因俄罗斯而持续,从一开始,这就是一场无端的、犯罪的侵略战争。我们绝不能忘记这一点,必须继续在各个方向施加压力,包括外交、经济和军事,以最终实现和平。 Prime Minister Carney: 我要以最强烈的措辞谴责俄罗斯最新的暴行和野蛮行为,并向基辅受影响家庭表示深切慰问。这突显了与乌克兰和乌克兰人民完全团结一致的重要性。最大压力包括财政压力,加拿大今天宣布了几项措施。首先是对俄罗斯的一些个人、40多个实体以及试图逃避制裁的实体实施制裁,并对俄罗斯用于逃避制裁的影子舰队中的200多艘船只实施制裁。其次,我们正在向乌克兰提供额外的军事援助,包括无人机、直升机和更广泛的弹药,总价值超过20亿美元。第三,我们将发放下一笔基于冻结俄罗斯资产的贷款,金额也超过20亿美元。我们将与我们的欧洲和其他盟友合作,为他们提供支持,并且明确表示,在乌克兰和乌克兰人民获得公正和平之前,支持将是坚定不移的。加拿大正在采取多项措施,以支持乌克兰及其在俄罗斯不公正和野蛮行为中的斗争。我们正在与我们的国际伙伴合作,启动一项针对个人、公司和船只(影子舰队)的大规模新制裁方案,以对俄罗斯施加最大压力。我们还提供超过20亿美元的资金,用于无人机、弹药和装甲车,以帮助乌克兰人捍卫自己的领土,以及23亿美元的贷款,以帮助重建该国的基础设施。鉴于昨晚在基辅目睹的俄罗斯野蛮行径,我再次表示慰问。七国集团领导人还重申了我们对中东和平与稳定的承诺,并明确表示伊朗是该地区不稳定和恐怖主义的主要根源。我们在安全、边境安全、军事安全和商业繁荣方面拥有共同利益,并且我们有多种途径进行这些讨论。加拿大政府只会同意那些从根本上符合加拿大利益的事情,在许多情况下,这与美国是一致的。欢迎辛鲍姆总统参加G7峰会,从我们第一次讨论中,我立刻清楚地看到了总统领导力的持久价值,以及墨西哥在国际合作中处于中心地位的重要性。除非是共享的,否则就没有进步。

and very furious world leaders had productive discussions on Tuesday in your absence. Donald Trump fled Alberta, Canada, like the coward that he is because he was too afraid to meet with President Zelenskyy

at the working session on Tuesday, or to meet with Modi from India on Tuesday, or to meet with the president of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum on Tuesday. Donald Trump fled and ran back to the United States. And Donald Trump said the reason he did that is because he doesn't like

phones and he says that he needs to be back at the US 'cause he hates using phone devices. Take a look at this photo right here and just look at this image. All of the world leaders, the immediate G7 as well as the other nations as well who joined for the kind of cooperation part of the summit.

Look, nowhere is the United States. Normally you would see the U.S. right there in the center, but you see in the center Prime Minister Carney of Canada, French President Emmanuel Macron, Prime Minister Keir Starmer right there. All the way on the left, you have Frederick Merz of Germany. Next to him, you have Anthony Albanese, the Prime Minister of Australia. Look all

all the way, all the way in the back left right there. Do you see who that is? That's Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, who used to live in the pink Barbie Malibu mansion in Charleston, South Carolina. And did you notice they put him all

all the way on the left in the back row. Take a look right here, Olga Nesterova. She does an incredible job. Take a look at two days ago, what the G7 leader table looked like. You see over there, Donald Trump seated on the right. Um,

I'll write on the screen. You see next to him Prime Minister Carney and next to him French President Emmanuel Macron. Look at day two. They gave Zelensky Donald Trump's chair. The real leader of the free world right now, President Zelensky taking Trump's chair. No doubt they did that on purpose. Now, I'll show you this clip right here.

This was pretty much the last thing that happened before Donald Trump left the G7 early on Monday and was not there with the working group of the other nations. Take a look right here of Italy's prime minister turning to French President Emmanuel Macron and just look at the eye roll at Donald Trump and look at Donald Trump from Monday. Just how...

uncomfortable he looks there, how awkward and out of place he looks there because he doesn't belong to be there. Here, play this clip.

Now, again, as Olga Nesterova posts, the G7 working group is beginning on Tuesday. World Bank is also attending. Mexico is represented there, although Claudia Scheinbaum was there. They had a foreign minister attending. Mark Carney, the prime minister of Canada, said, welcome everybody to the most important session of the summit.

That was clearly directed at Donald Trump for missing the most important session of the summit. French President Emmanuel Macron posted this, his meeting with Zelensky on Tuesday. French President Emmanuel Macron showing what adult has, how adults behave. He writes with President Zelensky at the G7. We stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people after last night's massive Russian strikes.

We are determined to increase pressure on Russia to accept the immediate and unconditional ceasefire that Ukraine is ready for. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz posts the following. Good to meet you here at the G7, Zelensky. You can be sure we will continue our military support to your country. We see the terrible images of Russia's massive strikes.

and stand in solidarity with your people. We will increase our pressure on Russia. This war has to end. And German Chancellor Friedrich Merz gave an interview where he pushed back strongly at Donald Trump, saying that...

Putin should be a member of the G7, that Russia should join, and it should be the G8, and it should never have become the G7. Frederick Merz in this powerful interview says, we don't let barbarian warmongers into the G7. There's a reason Putin was removed, Donald. Putin was removed because he was starting wars with

with allies of the G7, when it was the G8. That's why we kicked him out. Here's Frederick Merz saying that. We've translated it with the AI for you so you can hear what he said. Back then it was unchanged for true. We do not sit here in this format with warlords and not with war criminals.

And that's why it remains that Putin has no place at this table here. And again, we had world leaders meeting with each other. Prime Minister Carney welcoming Mexico's very popular President Claudia Scheinbaum right there. While all of that was taking place, you had Donald Trump making this post yesterday. It is my great honor to announce that I will be putting up two beautiful flagpoles today.

On both sides of the White House, north and south lawns. It is a gift from me of something which was always missing from this magnificent place. And he goes, there will be the most magnificent polls ever made.

That's what a little petulant child baby is doing. No offense to petulant child babies who behave more mature than Donald Trump. Here's what Zelensky posts. President Zelensky, who was at the working session, says, I met with the World Bank Group president, A.J. Banga, to discuss continued assistance in assessing the damage inflicted on Ukraine and preparing the relevant reports. I share that Russia's attacks are becoming increasingly brutal.

and which makes it vital to intensify efforts in pooling global resources in support of Ukraine. We paid particular attention to the development of Ukraine's energy sector and reconstruction projects. President Zelensky posted this photo as well, addressing the G7 summit

I emphasize that Russia is ignoring every diplomatic offer made by the international community. Diplomacy is in crisis. There is one clear reason Putin has openly rejected every peace initiative. Look at that table. Donald Trump, of course, is not at that table. President Zelensky goes on to say today we have concrete

decisions on increased military support, new tranches of aid funded by frozen Russian assets, and additional sanctions targeted what fuels Russia's war. It is important that partners are ready not only to support our defense now,

but also to rebuild Ukraine together after the war ends. I thank everyone who is helping us stand against Russian aggression and who together with Ukraine is building a robust security architecture for the future. Again, that photo posted where Donald Trump is not there, but his treasury secretary, Scott Besant is. President Zelensky goes on to post the following. Last night, Russia carried out one of the largest combined attacks on Ukraine since the beginning of this war.

The targets were our cities, meaning ordinary people, ordinary families in their homes. There were 440 drones, most of them Shaheed drones, and 32 missiles of various types, including ballistic ones and those with cluster warheads.

One ballistic missile hit a residential building. It went through from the top floor down to the basement. Rescue operations are still ongoing. People are being searched for under the rubble. In Kyiv alone, there were about 30 locations where either missiles struck or debris fell.

Nearly 150 residential buildings were damaged in Kyiv alone. As of now, we know that 131 people were injured. 15 people were killed. Among the dead is a citizen of the United States.

Our air defense systems were active across almost the entire country. Many drones and missiles were intercepted, thanks largely to the support from your countries. This is a matter of life and death. We must continue getting air defense systems and missiles and move toward localized production in Ukraine. It's an urgent need to save lives. We must also take into account the cooperation between Russia and Iran on one side and Russia and North Korea on the other side.

Russia upgrading Iranian Shahid drones and then transferring their production upgraded versions to North Korea. This is a threat not only to Ukraine. We are working now to develop and deploy interception drones to protect our cities from the Shahids. Our cities and therefore yours. We need additional financing to produce them.

These new interceptors are important for Europe, for the Indo-Pacific and for Japan and Canada and the United States. By the way, speaking of Japan, Prime Minister Ashiba was there and did not have any productive discussions with Donald Trump before Donald Trump fled the G7 to run back to Washington, D.C.

D.C. Also, the European Union did not enter into any trade deals with the United States, despite Donald Trump confusing the EU for the UK and telling Prime Minister Keir Starmer that a great deal was just done with your country, the European Union.

Zelensky says the following, and this is directed at Donald Trump. Even if the American president, Donald Trump, now does not apply strong enough pressure on Russia, the truth is America still has the most global interests and the most allies.

They will all need strong protection. We must keep working together with the highest level of coordination, not only politically and diplomatically, but also technologically and through investment. Increasing weapons productions in Ukraine is the fastest path to results. Russia continues to carry out terrorist attacks and offensive actions. Together, we must continue urging Trump to use the influence he really has.

to force Putin to end this war. It was the US and Trump who proposed a ceasefire, the resumption of diplomacy, but Russia blocked every effort. The war continues because of Russia. From the start, it has been an unprovoked,

criminal war of aggression. We must not forget that. We must continue applying pressure in every direction, diplomatic, economic, military, to finally bring peace. And here's what a real leader, Prime Minister Carney, had to say with President Zelensky by his side. Play this clip. I would like to start by condemning

in the strongest terms, the latest outrage, barbarism from Russia and express my deep condolences and those of the Canadian people to the families in Kyiv who were affected. This underscores the importance

of standing in total solidarity with ukraine with the ukrainian people um and we had a discussion last night amongst g7 leaders uh president and i will we'll discuss more and then of course we'll have the direct discussion in a moment um together uh but we underscored the importance of using maximum pressure against russia uh who has refused to come to the table the president has led

unconditionally to come to the table in search of peace. And maximum pressure includes financial pressure and Canada is announcing today

several measures. Sanctions, first and foremost, against the number of individuals in Russia, against over 40 entities in Russia and beyond that are trying to contribute to the evasion of sanctions. The sanctioning of over 200 vessels in the Shadow Fleet that Russia is using again to try to evade these sanctions. That's the first thing. The second is we are providing additional military assistance

drones, helicopters, broader munitions, over $2 billion worth of assistance directly to Ukraine. And thirdly, we are dispersing the next tranche of the

the loan based on the frozen Russian assets over $2 billion as well. This is our contribution. We'll be working with our European and other allies for their contributions to provide the support. And to be absolutely clear, the support will be unwavering.

until we get a just peace for Ukraine and Ukrainian people. And here you have Prime Minister Carney answering questions at the press conference after Donald Trump fled. What Canada is doing moving forward in multiple respects with measures to support Ukraine and its struggle in Russia's unjustified and barbaric

With our international partners, we're launching a major new package of sanctions on individuals, on companies, on vessels, the Shadow Fleet, to exert maximum pressure on Russia. We're also sending over $2 billion in funding for drones, ammunition, armored vehicles to help Russia.

Ukrainians defend their territory, as well as a $2.3 billion loan to help rebuild the infrastructure in that country. And I take a moment to reiterate our condolences given the barbarism witnessed overnight in Kyiv caused by Russia. G7 leaders also reiterated our commitment to

the pursuit of peace and stability in the Middle East. Make clear that Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. And here Prime Minister Carney is again. Let's play it. Hi, Mr. Carney, JP Tasker from CBC News. How are you?

I'm great. Okay, good. Thank you, JP. How are you, JP? I'm just fine. That's good. Couldn't be better. Yeah. President Trump says... Sorry, that was your question. No, not so fast. President Trump says tariffs are simple and what you're proposing to resolve the trade dispute is complex. What's he talking about? What have you pitched that's complex?

Complexity is in the eye of the beholder sometimes. And look, we have mutual interests in security, border security and military security and in commercial prosperity. And we have a variety of paths of those discussions. The government of Canada is going to agree.

only to those things that are fundamentally in the interest of Canada. In many cases, there's alignment with the United States. And just so you see what a normal diplomatic interaction is, unlike Donald Trump, who shows up and he's like, "Did you beat the G8? Putin, I hate American cities. Democratic cities are the worst. Oh, oh, Nuscombe, Pritzker, I don't like the America." That's Donald Trump. Let me just show you a normal diplomat-- You like my impression?

normal diplomatic interaction, President Claudia Scheinbaum with Prime Minister Carney. Here, play it. It is a great honor to welcome President Scheinbaum to the G7. You know, it was...

It was immediately clear from our first discussion in the other room the enduring value of the President's leadership and the importance of Mexico being at the center of international cooperation. And if I may, Madam President, I'm going to quote you.

that there is no progress unless it's shared. And this is the spirit that the President brings, that Mexico brings, and that Canada shares with you. Thank you.
