The White House announced Wednesday morning that Trump had met with Erdogan during the NATO event. The French leader also called out Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his threat to oppose NATO's plan for the defense of Baltic countries if it does not recognize groups Turkey deems as terrorists. Macron defended his recent claim that NATO was suffering from 'brain death' from critics including Trump, who had called that comment 'very nasty.' The hot mic gossip was the latest point of tension at the meeting, but it was far from the only dispute between leaders on display. Later Wednesday, while sitting alongside Conte, Trump explained that 'There's no reason to have press conferences because you had about eight of them,' apparently referring to his lengthy prior remarks to reporters. Trump revealed Tuesday that the 2020 G-7 summit will be held at Camp David in Maryland, weeks after he retreated from a plan to host it at his own Miami golf resort.

But Trudeau reportedly said Wednesday that it was Trump's surprise announcement of the location for next year's Group of Seven summit that made 'his team's jaws drop to the floor.' None of the politicians in the hot mic video, which emerged on social media Tuesday evening, mentioned Trump by name. WASHINGTON Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he filed class-action lawsuits against tech giants Facebook, Twitter and Google along with their CEOs, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey.

'You just watched his team's jaws drop to the floor,' Trudeau said at another point in the video, raising his eyebrows and motioning with his hand for effect. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, said that Trump 'was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top.' Trudeau, speaking with French President Emmanuel Macron, U.K. 'That was funny when I said the guy's two-faced,' Trump is heard saying. In an audio clip later published by reporters covering the NATO event, Trump appeared to compliment himself for his harsh words toward Trudeau.

'He's two-faced,' Trump said, before adding, 'I find him to be a very nice guy but the truth is I called him out on the fact that he's not paying 2% and I guess he's not very happy about it.' Trump has long griped about NATO members paying less than their 'fair share' toward the alliance, and brought up the issue repeatedly over the two-day anniversary meeting this week. Trump offered a blunt retort when asked Wednesday about Trudeau's comments.
