Trump calls for Russia to be reinstated into G7


Trump calls for Russia to be reinstated into G7
By Avery Anapol - 06/08/18 08:31 AM EDT


President Trump has called for Russia to be reinstated to the G7 group of leading industrial nations.

Russia was ousted from the then-G8 group in 2014, over Russian President Vladimir Putin's annexation of Crimea.

Trump made the comment on Friday speaking to reporters before departing for the G7 summit in Canada.

Once FOX News issues their Max Headroom Blipvert promotions about Russia rejoining the G-8 again...

all of their viewers will get onboard that train too and push for Russia to be added back in.


Just watch. It will happen.

But if the G6 leaders were anything like reckless Trump, they would threaten to do so just to cause a stir to piss Trump off.
