Come from Away: President Trump blew off the joint statement reached at the end of the G-7 economic meeting and tweeted an insult about the host, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Shortly after Trudeau issued the joint statement he said had been endorsed by all seven countries, Trump was jetting off to Singapore when he tweeted, “Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communiqué as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!”

While trying to be conciliatory, Trudeau said Canada would retaliate for new US tariffs on Canadian goods. Trump saw the press conference aboard Air Force One and became enraged. In a second tweet he said, “PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @g7 meetings, only to give a news conference after I left saying that, ‘US Tariffs were kind of insulting’ and he ‘will not be pushed around.’ Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!”

As if that wasn’t enough, he tweeted “Canada’s Trudeau is weaker than the Democrats and Fake News. Sad!” Is that any way to treat a Canadian?

Sacramento political cartoonist Jack Ohman said on Facebook, “I can hardly wait for our war with Canada.”

Earlier in the day Trump had suggested that all the G-7 countries stop placing tariffs on each other’s goods, then threatened to end all trade with the other six biggest industrialized economies. “It’s going to stop,” he said, “or we’ll stop trading with them. And that’s a very profitable answer, if we have to do it.” He added, “We’re like the piggy bank that everybody’s robbing — and that ends.”

Mind Reader: President Trump predicted that he will size up North Korean leader Kim Jong-un almost immediately and know whether the Hermit Kingdom dictator is serious about peace and disarmament.

“Within the first minute, I’ll know. My touch, my feel — that’s what I do,” Trump said during a news conference in Quebec as he prepared fly off to Singapore, where he is scheduled to meet Kim on Tuesday. “You know the way they say you know if you like somebody in the first five seconds?” he added. “Well, I think very quickly I’ll know whether something good is going to happen. I think I’ll also know whether it will happen fast.”

Post Time: The chestnut colt Justify became the second horse to win racing’s Triple Crown in three years, and only the second to win it with an undefeated record, joining Seattle Slew in 1977. Justify started in the #1 position and bolted to a lead he never gave up for the entire race. He’s only the 13th horse to win the Triple.

The Obit Page: Actress Eunice Gayson, the first Bond girl in the James Bond movies, has died at age 90. She played Sylvia Trench in “Dr. No” and “From Russia With Love.” Sean Connery, the first to play Bond in the 1962 “Dr. No” initiated his famous line “Bond, James Bond,” to Gayson’s character. — Charlotte Fox, 61, the first American woman alpinist to climb three peaks 26,000 feet or higher and who survived the 1996 Mt.

Sunday Book Section: Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright’s book “Fascism A Warning” published earlier this year becomes even more relevant as the months go by. Albright reviews the history of fascism from Mussolini and Hitler to Erdogan. She spends time drawing parallels to Donald Trump, but here are a few things she says about Italy’s Benito Mussolini.

• “He called on his followers to believe in an Italy that would be prosperous because it was self-sufficient, and respected because it was feared.”
• “He initiated a campaign to drenare la palude (‘drain the swamp’) by firing more than 35,000 civil servants.
• “During the peak years of his reign, the great man’s image was displayed on products ranging from hairs tonic and baby food to lingerie and pasta.”
• “He was loath to spend nights away from his own bed.”
• “He discouraged his cabinet from proposing any idea that might cause him to doubt his instincts, which were, he insisted, always right.
• Mussolini “said to a reporter, ‘Often I would like to be wrong, but so far it has never happened.’”
