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."
