A meeting of the heads of the G7 countries spent a quarter of their time talking about Russia. That's why it should be returned to an international club, said US President Donald Trump. "I thought to myself, would not it be better if they (representatives of the Russian Federation - Ed.. ) were here? If [President of Russia] Vladimir Putin sat with me at the table with all the others at a dinner in Canada ... If he was there, I would ask him to do things that are better for the world and better for him, "said Donald Trump in Fox News. In the end, live communication is always preferable to a telephone conversation, he added.. At the same time, obviously, again fearing attacks on the part of the American establishment in relations with the Russian authorities, Trumpa made a reservation that he was "not for Russia, he is for the United States".

Trump also could not refrain from attacking his predecessor Barack Obama, accusing him of throwing Russia out of the G8,. It is noteworthy that in Germany, contrary to the statement of Chancellor Angela Merkel, there are also calls for the return of the Russian Federation to the G8, but above all for Europe to be able to resist the United States. For example, such a statement was noted by the co-chairman of the Left Party faction Sarah Wagenkneht, recalls the "Free Press".
