President Trump:

"G7 used to be the G8 but Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn't want to have Russia in, and I would say that that was a mistake. I think we wouldn't have a war right now if we had Russia in. And we wouldn't have a war right now if Trump were president four years ago."

"They threw Russia out, which I claimed was a very big mistake, even though I wasn't in politics then, I was very loud about it...we spend so much time talking about Russia, and he's no longer at the table."

Note: Russia was removed from the G8 in March 2014 after its illegal annexation of Crimea.
