Trump calls for Russia to be reinstated into G-7
By Jordan Fabian - 06/08/18 08:31 AM EDT

President Trump on Friday said that Russia should be reinstated into the Group of Seven major economies, a comment that could further anger U.S. allies during what is already expected to be a tense set of meetings.

Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn before leaving for Canada to attend the G-7 summit, Trump said he has been “Russia’s worst nightmare” but argued the country should be a part of the economic talks.

“With that being said, Russia should be in this meeting,” he said. "Why are we having a meeting without Russia being in the meeting?"

Russia was ousted from the then-Group of Eight in 2014 in order to punish Moscow for annexing Crimea and supporting pro-Kremlin separatists in eastern Ukraine.

For a guy who isn't being blackmailed, he sure does have a soft spot for the Russian government.  Yes the dems are over the top with their rhetoric.  But he ain't helping himself.

It might appear that way, but I've heard Trump enumerate on the things he has done against Russia, he has said before that no one has been harsher with Russia than Trump himself.

Uranium 1?

I also heard that maybe Russia doesn't want back in.

Anyway, just talking might be something if nothing else.

Being in G-7 or 8 seems to mean only being at the negotiations table.
