WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said he would love to have Russia return to the Group of Seven nations, saying it was a mistake for Moscow to be expelled.

Russia had been a member of the G7 club of industrialized democracies, then known as the G8, until Moscow was excluded following its annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region in 2014.

"I'd love to have them back. I think it was a mistake to throw them out. Look, it's not a question of liking Russia or not liking Russia. It was the G8," Trump said at the White House when he announced new U.S. reciprocal tariffs.

President Trump is on the right track here.

Russia should be aligned with us, not China.

Bringing Russia closer to America economically is the way to get Russia further from China economically.

We kicked Russia out of the G8 after it invaded Crimea.

I’d be perfectly happy with letting Russia back in the G8 after they give up Crimea.

As each day goes by, they’re becoming more and more suicidal.

A deal will be made that will include Russia keeping Crimea.

Trump is showing Russia that working with America is good for Russia.

“Russia should be aligned with us, not China.”

Did opening up China and making open trede with it “aslligned it with us”. No.

And it will not change the dictatorship-to-dictatorship alliance between Putin and the CCP. The idea that Putin will become “aligned with us” is the same fantasy peddled by both parties for many decades that open trade with the CCP will lead to political liberalization in China. It was fantasy, so is Putin becoming our friend against China.

They are the wrong enemy. We will be begging for their oil and gas someday, and nothing else matters.

“We kicked Russia out of the G8 after it invaded Crimea.”

Well, since that was before America took over Ohio, that is rather inaccurate.

The West did Russia a favor when it kicked them out of the Counsel of Europe and the G8.

I doubt Russia wants back in to that den of snakes.

I agree .
Trump has idea about history .
Like him asking Jordan to let in
evil Palestinian savages after driving
them out 50years ago .
Or Putin invaded and stole Crimea .
Appeasing Putin is a bad idea .
Putin , The Butcher of Berlin who was over the Stasi and ordered innocent
men , women , and children to get shot crossing the Berlin War Consider Trump is acting like a useful sucker .
Putin does not want peace .
He wants to rebuild The Iron Curtain . There will never be peace as long as evil Putin is still the dictator .

Agree absolutely. Russia is in the G-20. Like it or not, Russia is still a super power.

I figured Trump would throw that carrot out there to get Putin on the Ukraine peace deal. 😉
