“Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau did not want Russia to be in G8. And I would say that it was a mistake. Otherwise we would not have war now if Russia was in G8,” he added.
It should be reminded that Russia was expelled from “Group Eight” on March 18, 2014 – one month after it made an invasion of Ukraine and two days after it annexed Crimea contrary to the rules of international law.
Further, the US President said that the exception of Russia from the G8 was a “big mistake” and he was “very loud” about it, although he was not in politics.
“After all, you spend so much time talking about Russia, and he (Putin. – Ed.) Not at the table of negotiations. So life is complicated. But you would not have war,” Trump said.
Further, answering the questions about Russia, Trump suggested that “there may be enemies at the negotiation table, and he (Putin) was not even considered an enemy”, referring to the exclusion time of the Russian Federation from the “Group eight”.
At the same time, the US President acknowledged that Russia’s return to the format is hardly possible because it has been a lot of time, but China’s invitation is “not so bad.”
Trump and during the first presidential term made proposals to return Russia to the “eight” group, and since the beginning of the second term.
On Monday, he arrived on the first after returning to the White House Summit G7.
