OSAKA, Japan – President Donald Trump began a series of G-20 meetings Thursday by praising U.S. allies generally and criticizing others over various economic and defense policies.
"We've been very good to our allies – we work with our allies, we take care of our allies," Trump said before a working dinner with Australia Prime Minister Scott Morrison, his first stop after landing in Japan for the G-20 summit.
But en route to Osaka, Trump criticized India for imposing tariffs on U.S. products, and again complained that Japan and Germany were not contributing enough to mutual defense treaties.
Trump sounded more upbeat about his highest profile meeting at the G-20, a Saturday session with China President Xi Jinping to discuss the revival of talks toward a new trade agreement. Trump has another high-profile meeting Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
