Donald Trump, during the G7 summit, expressed his belief that the expulsion of Russia from the group was a mistake and that it contributed to the current war in Ukraine. He suggested that keeping Russia involved would have prevented the conflict. Trump's remarks came as he prepared for a meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, who is advocating for increased sanctions on Russia. Meanwhile, EU officials are pushing for tighter sanctions on Russian oil prices, reflecting a divided approach within Western leaders regarding how best to handle Russia's aggression.
Donald Trump reiterated that expelling Russia from the G8 was a critical error and insisted that the war in Ukraine might have been avoided if Russia had been included.
Trump placed blame on former leaders for Putin's expulsion, expressing that having an adversary at the table is better than isolating them completely.
