June 15 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump departed the White House on Sunday en route to Western Canada for the annual G7 summit, promising to secure trade deals weeks ahead of a tariff hike deadline.
Speaking to reporters ahead of his departure, Trump appeared confident he'll "have a few new trade deals" during the three-day summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, Newsweek reported.
"Look, we have our trade deals," he said, according to CNN. "All we have to do is send the letters: 'This is what you are gonna have to pay.'"
The annual Group of 7 brings together some of the world's largest economies, including Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States and the European Union. Several other countries also were invited.
