⚡'Millions are dying' because of 'foolish decision' to ban Russia from G8, Trump says.
U.S. President Donald Trump attributed Russia's invasion of Ukraine to its exclusion from the Group of Eight (G8), now the Group of Seven (G7).
"If they didn't vote Russia out… I think you probably wouldn't have this ridiculous, deadly war… It was a very bad decision," Trump said.
When pressed about whether he would invite Russia back to the group, Trump responded that "it's not good timing now," contradicting previous statements.
