La Malbaie (Canada), Jun 10 (AFP) Justin Trudeau's criticism of Donald Trump at a G7 press conference that prompted the US president to reject a joint summit statement was merely a reiteration of comments made in their own meetings, the Canadian premier's office said today.

"We are focused on everything we accomplished here at the #G7 summit," said a statement from his office released on Twitter.

"The Prime Minister said nothing he hasn't said before - both in public, and in private conversations with the President." (AFP) CK
