“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. On Saturday Trump said the G7, which groups the world’s most advanced economies, was a “very outdated group of countries” in its current format.
But he did say the G20 group, which includes Russia, was a forum that included countries “we don’t necessarily have great relations with”.
