U.S. President Donald Trump kicked off his time at the Group of Seven summit on Monday by suggesting that Russia and maybe even China should be part of the organization. The U.S. leader indicated that he would rather have the G7 become the G8 or possibly even the G9,

Russia was once in the exclusive club of major economies but was kicked out following its 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.

President Donald Trump said Russia should be a part of the Group of 7 alliance while meeting with fellow world leaders in Canada Monday, repeating a similar call he made in 2018 for the group to admit Russia.
