TAORMINA: German Chancellor Angela Merkel says G-7 talks on climate change were "unsatisfactory." Six of the countries agreed to support the Paris climate change agreement; Trump tweeted he will decide next week.

Merkel says the seven wealthy democracies meeting at a summit in Sicily have had a "reasonable" discussion on trade and have agreed to reject protectionism. The agreement keeps a provision from early meetings in the face of a new approach from President Donald Trump, who has insisted trade must be fair as well as free. Merkel said the leaders agreed to "act against protectionism."
