President Trump Again Calls For Russia To Rejoin The G-7



Reuters: Trump says appropriate to let Russia join Group of Seven

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday it would be appropriate to let Russia join the G7 group of advanced industrialized countries.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump noted his Democratic predecessor, Barack Obama, had wanted Russia out of what used to be the G8.

“But I think it’s much more appropriate to have Russia in. It should be the G8 because a lot of the things we talk about have to do with Russia,” Trump said.

Russia was pushed out of the G8 in 2014 because of its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.
