1. Donald Trump invites crisis at G7 by attacking allies, embracing Russia

From USA TODAY: "President Trump airs grievances in a 'poor, poor pitiful America' finale to G7 summit marked by tension, ultimatums and a suspiciously strong handshake."

2. Trump turns the G-7 into the G-6 vs. G-1

From Washington Post: "The president has called into question the fundamental unity of the West.

3. The Guardian view on Trump and the G7 summit: a watershed moment

From The Guardian: "The US is the cornerstone of the international order. If Donald Trump removes it, the remaining democracies must still stand together."
