"It was a large mistake," said Trump reporters on Monday just before the G7 gathering in Canada, referring to the removal of Russia from what was then known as Group 8. "You wouldn't have this war" – in mention to the war over 3 years in Ukraine.
He described this action under government. Obama most likely made a crucial contribution to president Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. He blamed not only Obama, but besides erstwhile Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – in a uncommon direct impact on Canadian abroad policy. Russia was removed from the army in March 2014 after the annexation of Crimea.
"I'm not saying he should be part of Group 8 at this point, due to the fact that possibly besides much water flowed through the dam, but it was a large mistake," Trump said. "Obama did not want him, and the head of your country, the arrogant head of your country, did not want him."
Trump described that the presence on the major global economical forum consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States (and the EU as a "unlisted member") would be a way to get closer to the enemyand thus the anticipation of better negotiations erstwhile the crisis arises.
"At the time, he wasn't truly the enemy," Trump stressed. "If I were president, this war would never have happened. But similarly, If he were a associate of what was called the G8 at the time—it was always the G8—we wouldn't have a war now..
Interestingly, he said Something akin erstwhile asked if the same could be actual in China in the face of the American-Chinese trade war.
"Well, it's not a bad idea," Trump replied. I don't mind. If anyone wants to propose China's entrance, I think we propose it, but you want people to talk to.
Trump outlined a general situation in which Moscow effectively cut off from those G7 leaders who first cut off from him.
Trump, both in his election run and as president, has repeatedly stressed that a disastrous war in Ukraine is simply a conflict that would never have happened if he had been president.
This was not the first time that specified statements were made, as at the 2018 G7 summit in Charlevoix, Canada, president Trump called for the re-acceptance of Russia, clashing with another G7 leaders who opposed this idea. The summit hosted by Prime Minister Trudeau was marked by trade-related tensions.
However, any critics point out that apart from very short days at the beginning of his presidency, American weapons, ammunition and intelligence flowed to Kiev mostly without disruption.
Trump's efforts to get the fighting parties to the negotiating table did not bring much, and each organization is inactive closed at its uncompromising positions, and the frustrated US leader expressed that he could be willing to simply "let them fight."
