TORONTO (AP) — It started with President Donald Trump's attacks on Canadian dairy farmers. Then Washington slapped tariffs on Canadian steel, citing national security.

"I have spoken of a sobering experience, which for me is a lot," she added.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — One viral photo is telling it all about tensions at the G-7 summit.
