The Guardian: G7: Trump's demands for Russia's readmission cause row in Biarritz

US president argues Putin should be included in discussions on Iran, Syria and North Korea

Donald Trump has rowed with his fellow G7 leaders over his demand that Russia be readmitted to the group, rejecting arguments that it should remain an association of liberal democracies, according to diplomats at the summit in Biarritz.

The disagreement led to heated exchanges at a dinner on Saturday night inside the seaside resort’s 19th-century lighthouse. According to diplomatic sources, Trump argued strenuously that Vladimir Putin should be invited back, five years after Russia was ejected from the then G8) for its annexation of Crimea.

Come on. Merkel must want her buddy Putin back. After all she managed to hurt the US, the EU and Germany with her immigration policies that brought us Brexit and hurt the European idea. With no plan in place. And then on top, she weakens Trump and does this massive oil deal with Russia instead. Come on. You couldn't hurt the EU more if you tried. Maybe she too will do like Gerhard Schröder. .remember this stain on the German history? How he lost to her.. drunk and stupid on camera and then running to Gasprom (Russian oil) the very next day. From leader of Germany to this within a week. No shame. No integrity, no plan. Just ambition. Reminds me so of her
