Yes.
Trudeau knew who he was dealing with and chose to start playing games with someone who considered him a friend.
Friends call each other national security threats?

Trump left, skipping the climate change and oceans sessions, but Trudeau took the stage Saturday evening to proclaim
all G7 leaders had reached a joint statement, calling the summit a success and outlining his own talks with Trump.
https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/201 ... he-g7.htmlIt doesn't sound like much but when you're dealing with Trump, exposing what he thought was said in confidence and saying he was in agreement with the other leaders when he wasn't made him look weak and was enough to send him over the edge and quite possibly made worse because he though Trudeau was a friend.
So, the leaders sit down, have positive talks, come to an agreement. Trump fucks off early, not before holding a press conference where he throws a mini temper tantrum. Blows up the agreements that had be made previously. One of the leaders holds a press conference to say things went well and there should be an agreement forthcoming. None of the G7 leaders denied this but Trump. So you're telling me you believe the guy who lies and contradicts said lie in the same sentence over the other 6 world leaders?

Trudeau and the Canadian Gov't should have known who they were dealing with long before they even went to the G7 or stepped up to the NAFTA negotiation table so, they're either remiss in their understanding of our largest trading partner or they purposely chose to piss Trump off for their own benefit.
So the G7 leaders should just assume Trump is a petulant child and treat him as such?

Then when Freeland went out and started her ad hominem acceptance speech where every person on the planet knew she was talking about Trump and his administration it was enough to put us behind the proverbial 8 ball when it comes to negotiating a fair deal especially when we're dealing with someone as narcissistic as Donald Trump.

This all happened after Trump's meltdown. It didn't affect it. It was in response to it.
