President Trump standing up for Russia…??saying the country should be reinstated to the Group of Seven major economies. ??Trump spoke to reporters before heading to the G-7 summit in Canada. ??“Whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run.” ??Russia was thrown out of the Group of Eight in 2014 after they annexed Crimea. ??Trump says he’s been Russia’s worst nightmare while arguing for the reinstatement. ??“They should let Russia come back in because we should have Russia at the negotiating table.” ??This move will likely add fuel to the criticism that Trump is too friendly with the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin. ??At the same time, the G-7 will not be a friendly environment for the President, ??His decisions to place tariffs on Canadian and EU steel and aluminum as well as ??pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal ??Have put him at odds with his European allies. ??
