President Trump opened his remarks at the Group of 7 gathering of industrialized nations by criticizing the decision to expel Russia from the bloc after Moscow’s 2014 “annexation” of Crimea.
“Putin speaks to me; he doesn’t speak to anybody else,” President Trump said, “because he was very insulted when he got thrown out at the G8, as I would be, as you would be, as anybody would be.”
In 2018, the president called for the group to embrace Russia and stormed out of the summit. Now he is seeking to shrink America’s military role abroad and embarking on a more expansive trade war.
