https://www.reuters.com/article/us-g7-summit-canada-idUSKBN23832Lsnip--"OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada does not support Russia's return to the Group of Seven, proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump over the weekend, because Moscow continues to flout international law, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday.
"Russia was excluded from the G7 after it invaded Crimea a number of years ago, and its continued disrespect and flaunting of international rules and norms is why it remains outside of the G7, and it will continue to remain out," Trudeau said during his daily news conference.
Trump said on Saturday he would postpone a Group of Seven summit he had hoped to hold next month until at least September and expand the list of invitees to include Australia, Russia, South Korea and India."
snip--""The G7 has always been a place for frank conversations with allies and friends who share so much. That's certainly what I'm hoping to continue to see," Trudeau said."

that ain't going to happen.
Germany, France, Great Britain and Canada are diplomatically telling Trump FU. Who wants to travel and see a guy you hate, just a few weeks before he is voted out of office forever, where you will never have to see him again? Not the EU.
I suspect Angel Merkel is doing cartwheels and laughing her butt off at Donny the fool.

He will stand up to trump, and along with others who will also put out statements like his. More need to do this to him, or he will only escalate doing worse things .
