US President Donald Trump on Monday slammed the then Barack Obama (of United States) and Justin Trudeau (Canada) administrations for excluding Russia from the G8 member nations which then became G7.
Calling it a “serious mistake”, he added that if he would have been the president, there wouldn’t have been a Russia-Ukraine war.
“The G7 used to be the G8. About nine years ago, Russia was excluded, something I believe was a serious mistake, reports Times of India.
Back then, leaders like Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau didn’t want Russia involved, but had Russia remained at the table, perhaps we wouldn’t be facing a war today. If I was the president 4 years ago, we would not have a war right now,” he said.
