At the G7 Summit in Canada, Donald Trump claimed that Russia's war in Ukraine "wouldn't have happened" if they had remained a member of the G8 and if he had been in office four years ago.
Russia was expelled from the G8, renamed the G7, in 2014 after its widely condemned annexation of Crimea, a Ukrainian territory. The move was intended as a unified rebuke by Western nations to Russia's violation of international law.
