Canadian Indigenous leader says he was ‘filled with rage’ before ‘intense’ conversation with Trump

KANANASKIS, Alberta (AP) — A Canadian Indigenous leader who greeted world heads of state arriving for the Group of Seven summit says he was “filled with rage” and considered leaving before Donald Trump arrived — saying the U.S. president has “caused much pain and suffering in the world.”

Instead, Steven Crowchild prayed, consulted with his peoples’ leaders and ultimately opted to stay on the tarmac for a long conversation with Trump that he hopes will call more attention to promoting peace, protecting clean water and other issues key to Canada’s First Nation peoples.

“It was really intense, to say the least,” Crowchild told The Associated Press on Monday, recalling his lengthy encounter with Trump on Sunday night in Calgary for the G7 in nearby Kananaskis. “When I woke up on Father’s Day, I didn’t anticipate I would be seeing world leaders, and one certain individual that has caused much pain and suffering in the world.”

He is putting the United States squarely in the middle of this war. He is taunting them. He wants a reason to level Iran. Remember his words when Americans die.

Tammy Bruce: "He's the best dealmaker in the world … the best person who can explain his feelings and thoughts about what's accomplished on any issue is the president himself. So I would refer you back to what he writes and what he's posting."

Tammy Bruce: "We live in a fascinating, exciting time where we've got a man who can make the difference, and he's generous about making that difference. He could've chosen to have his term be about anything other than peace and making America great again … all of us are grateful."
