President Donald Trump on Friday called for Russia to be reinstated into the group of the world’s largest economies, drawing the ire of both Democratic and Republican lawmakers and further inflaming tensions at the G-7 meeting in Canada.

“Now, I love our country. I have been Russia’s worst nightmare,” Trump said. “But with that being said, Russia should be in this meeting. Why are we having a meeting without Russia being in the meeting?”

His suggestion that the G-7 welcome Russia back into the fold is likely to heighten tensions in Quebec, where the president is expected to meet with allies irate over his decision to impose tariffs on imports from Canada and the European Union. In recent days, Trump has engaged in a war of words with French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The G-7, short for Group of Seven, was the G-8 until 2014, when the group’s members expelled Russia over its invasion and annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. The G-7’s current membership comprises the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Britain.

“I would recommend — and it’s up to them, but Russia should be in the meeting, it should be a part of it. You know, whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run,” Trump told reporters. “And in the G-7, which used to be the G-8, they threw Russia out. They should let Russia come back in. Because we should have Russia at the negotiating table.”

Posted on  by True Pundit Staff

North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said allies have started to increase spending and burden-sharing, something President Donald Trump has repeatedly demanded.

“All allies have stopped the cuts, all have started to increase and the majority of allies have put forward plans on how to meet the 2 percent, or spend 2 percent on defense, by 2024,” Stoltenberg said Thursday, speaking to NATO defense ministers in Brussels.

Trump has been pushing for all 29 members to increase their military budgets to 2 percent spending of the gross domestic product (GDP) since the NATO meeting on May 25, 2017. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has also called on allies to increase their commitment in order to lessen the burden placed on the U.S., the organization’s biggest spender.

way to go,” said Stoltenberg, according to a report by Defense News.

The news comes after German Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged Wednesday to raise Germany’s defense budget, which is being seen as a partial yield to Trump’s demands. – READ MORE
