It’s looking like G-6 versus 1. Donald Trump may cut a lonely figure at the Quebec G-7 summit. Emmanuel Macron won’t sign the traditional joint statement unless progress is made on tariffs and other issues, an official said. Angela Merkel will challenge Trump on the environment and all the EU leaders will find common cause with host Justin Trudeau in pushing back against protectionism. (Bloomberg Daybreak)

History Lesson: President Trump may have made a tense relationship with Justin Trudeau more strained. According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, when the prime minister asked last month why the U.S. decided to impose trade tariffs for reasons of national security, Trump replied: “Didn’t you guys burn down the White House?” — an apparent reference to the sacking of Washington in the War of 1812. The thing is, Canada didn’t become a country until 1867. And the building was torched by the British. (Bloomberg Politics)

Best of late night.

“You can now add ‘God Bless America’ to the list of things where Trump doesn’t know the words — right next to ‘United States Constitution’ and ‘wedding vows.’”
— James Corden, after showing a clip of President Trump apparently failing to sing along to “God Bless America” at a White House event

“Insiders say Trump’s become fixated on his ability to issue pardons because it’s the one area where he has almost unchecked power. And I’m actually O.K. with that. It’s like letting your toddler play with an electric razor: It’s going to look crazy when it’s over, but he’s having a good time.”
— Stephen Colbert
