Flattery or Discipline? The Difficult Task of Managing Trump.
Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada began by wishing President Trump a happy birthday. He emphasized the importance of U.S. leadership in the Group of 7 alliance, which is meeting in Alberta, Canada. But after seven minutes of questioning by journalists during which Mr. Trump complained about Russia's absence at the summit and attacked Democrats over immigration policies, the host of the summit had heard enough. He took a step forward and into the center of the frame and effectively stopped the questioning, preventing the American president from saying more. With war raging in the Middle East and U.S. tariffs hammering his own country's economy as well as global trade, Mr. Carney was intent on limiting the chances of a Trump-related derailment of the gathering. 'If you don't mind, I'm going to exercise my role, if you will, as G7 chair, since we have a few more minutes with the president and his team and then we actually have to start the meeting to address some of these big issues,' Mr. Carney said. 'So, merci beaucoup.' With that, the press was rapidly escorted out of the room. The brief moment at the start of the gathering provided a window into a daunting challenge for world leaders entering the summit: Just what is the best way to manage Mr. Trump on the global stage?

Trump knocks ‘kooky' Carlson over Iran criticism
President Trump took a shot at pundit Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News host and one of his most reliable allies in the media for months, over the commentator's criticism of the president's posture toward Iran. 'Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,' Trump wrote on his Truth Social website Monday evening. Trump's attack on the longtime cable news host turned podcast and multimedia personality came just hours after reporters asked him about Carlson's urging that the U.S. state out of a quickly escalating war between Israel and Iran. 'I don't know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen,' the president said during a meeting with the British prime minister at the Group of Seven summit, an even the left early on Monday due to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. Carlson was a leading host at Fox for years, hosting a prime time show that was a favorite program of the president and many of his followers. After being fired by Fox in 2022, Carlson launched his own media company and digital show, hosting the president for his first episode and accompanying him along the 2024 campaign trail. Carlson remains a large supporter of much of Trump's agenda, but in recent days has cautioned the president against allowing the U.S. to become involved in another war in the Middle East. The pundit last week said Trump was 'complicit' in Israel's all-out war with Iran and called out 'warmongers' who he says were urging Trump to 'direct US military involvement in a war,' the country. Trump late Monday urged people to flee the city of Tehran as more Israeli military strikes are expected in the area in the coming days.
