This past week, President Donald Trump caused quite a stir when he suggested that Russia should be readmitted to the Group of Seven. “I think it’s much more appropriate to have Russia in,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “I could certainly see it being the G-8 again.” He added, “If somebody would make that motion, I would certainly be disposed to think about it very favorably.”
Thankfully, the reaction to his August 20 comments was not supportive.
