The Saturday EconomistIt has been a strange week. Trump left Quebec with G7 agreement in hand, destined for Singapore on Air Force One. Trudeau made his statement, he would not be pushed around by the USA. The "Angel" flight nearly turned around.

It could have all been so different. Where are dictators when you need them?
