Trump floats Russia and possibly China joining G7 at annual summit
WASHINGTON — President Trump said it was a 'mistake' for Russia to have been forced out of G7 during the nations' annual summit on Monday, before suggesting not just President Vladimir Putin but possibly Chinese President Xi Jinping could be welcomed in. 'The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named [ex-Canadian Prime Minister Justin] Trudeau didn't want to have Russia in,' Trump said alongside current Canadian PM Mark Carney at the start of the international security meeting. 'I would say that that was a mistake, because I think you wouldn't have a war right now if you had Russia in, and you wouldn't have a war right now if Trump were president four years ago,' he added. Trump has long opposed Putin's ouster from the G8 after the Russian leader invaded Ukrainian Crimea in 2014. 'Putin speaks to me. He doesn't speak to anybody else,' he said. 'He doesn't want to talk because he was very insulted when he was thrown out of the G8 as I would be, as you would be, as anybody would be.' Asked later whether China should join, the president also said: 'Well, it's not a bad idea. I don't mind that. If somebody wants to suggest China coming in, I think we suggest, but you want people that you can talk to.' German Chancellor Friedrich Merz disagreed sharply and released a statement later on X saying: 'The pressure on Russia must be increased.' 4 President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, June 16, 2025. REUTERS 'This was a trusting and open exchange with US President Donald Trump before the start of the G7: We are looking for ways to end the escalation in the Middle East and discussing the war against Ukraine,' he posted. Leaders from France, Germany, Italy Japan, the European Union and the United Kingdom all convened with Trump and Carney for the summit in the Rocky Mountains resort town of Kananaskis in Alberta. Before flying to the Great White North, the president held lengthy phone calls with Putin, to talk about de-escalating the conflict between Iran and Israel as well as efforts to curb Tehran's nuclear program. Trump had already grown frustrated at Russia and Ukraine not coming to a peace deal to end the three-year war that Moscow launched in February 2022, but argued at the G7 this year that its past decisions as an international body isolated Russia. 4 Russia's President Vladimir Putin greets Chinese President Xi Jinping prior to the Victory Day military parade in Moscow on May 9, 2025.

Russia has expressed no interest in wanting to rejoin the block after its 2014 suspension. Other than his criticisms of the G7 format, the president expressed optimism about getting meaningful conversations done at the 'beautiful' location for the summit, on the outskirts of Banff National Park. 'I think we're going to accomplish a lot, and I expect to, and I think our primary focus will be trade and trade with Canada, and I'm sure we can work something out,' he said. 4 President Donald Trump is greeted by the Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney, as he arrives at the G7 summit leaders' in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada June 16, 2025. via REUTERS 4 Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney, from left, President Donald Trump and Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer participate in a session of the G7 Summit, Monday, June 16, 2025, in Kananaskis, Canada. AP Carney also expressed optimism that a US-Canada trade deal could be reached soon. 'Nostalgia isn't a strategy. We have to change with the times and build a better world. And some of you, such as you, Mr. President, have anticipated these massive changes and are taking bold measures to address them,' the prime minister told Trump.

Trudeau exaggerated Nijjar murder, appeased Sikh extremists: Ex-Pentagon official
Former Pentagon official Michael Rubin slammed ex-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for "exaggerating claims" over the killing of KhalistanI terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar and the threat of the Khalistan movement. He also claimed that Trudeau appeased "radical Sikh extremists in Canada".Rubin added that Canada needs to take firm and effective action against Khalistani extremism, while highlighting India's role in pushing Ottawa to confront the issue the same time, Rubin praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for accepting the invitation to attend the upcoming G7 summit in Canada, and lauded incumbent Canadian PM Mark Carney for taking steps to mend ties with New Delhi. "The grievances of Hardeep Singh Nijjar and the Khalistan movement were not real. They were exaggerations that Justin Trudeau amplified," Rubin told news agency ANI, while saying that Khalistani groups have no popular legitimacy in Punjab, or even among the larger peaceful Sikh community in also accused Trudeau of "appeasing radical Sikh extremists in Canada" and shifting blame to India rather than acknowledging domestic issues."Justin Trudeau may have wanted so much to appease radical Sikh extremists in various constituencies that he was willing to take an organised crime hit between various Sikh groups and mafias and blame an outside power for it, rather than acknowledge the problem and the fault was Canada's alone," Rubin now that Justin Trudeau is gone and likely will never return to power, Prime Minister Carney is taking a sober approach and recognising that he is not going to be tied to Justin Trudeau's fictions," Rubin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, STRONG ACTION AGAINST KHALISTANI EXTREMISM: RUBIN ASKS CANADARubin emphasised that it is essential that India continues to press Canada to address the Khalistan issue head-on."It is so essential that India continues to press Canada to designate the Khalistan movement and extremists as terrorists, to uproot terror finance, and to stigmatise forever these groups that really have no popular legitimacy back home in Punjab or, for that matter, among the larger peaceful Sikh community in Canada," ANI quoted him as saying."It's time to stop allowing the loud, extreme voices to win and instead recognise that those same loud, extreme voices oftentimes deserve to be in prison for their involvement in terror, tax fraud, and organised crime in Canada, in San Francisco, and elsewhere," Rubin further also accused Trudeau of undermining Canada's moral authority by tolerating the Khalistanis, saying, "When you give haven to any terror group, ultimately, your interests are going to be subverted".advertisement"Justin Trudeau and, frankly, Pierre Trudeau before him, by embracing and tolerating the Khalistan movement in the face of some of the worst terrorist attacks in the 20th century, what they did is ultimately undermine Canada's moral authority and its strategic importance," he HAILS CARNEY FOR HIS APPROACH TOWARDS INDIATalking about Canada's invite to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the G7 summit, he said Mark Carney's efforts to repair the relationship with India, rather than follow Justin Trudeau's misguided path, already suggest he is a far more serious leader than his predecessor."Canadian PM Mark Carney was originally a banker. He understands the importance of India. Justin Trudeau was a politician who peddled image and imagination, and therefore it makes sense that Carney wants to restore maturity to the relationship," Rubin told views PM Modi's decision to attend the summit as a sign of India's transparency and confidence. "It makes sense for Prime Minister Modi to show that the problem was not Canada itself, but the immaturity and unprofessionalism of Justin Trudeau," he the American security expert highlighted that the Indian government is "willing to have a serious dialogue, much like they had with the US".Modi will attend the G7 Summit at Kananaskis in Canada, which will be held between June 15 and Watch
