Trump says he may invite Russia to join next G7

None

U.S. President Donald Trump says it's "possible" he will invite Russia to rejoin the annual meeting of the world's advanced economies when he hosts the summit next year.

 

Russia was a member of what was then the G8, but was expelled in 2014 over its invasion of Ukraine.

 

European nations have insisted that Russia first comply with the Minsk Accords before it is allowed to rejoin. Trump has not said under what criteria he'd re-invite Putin.

 

Trump also disputed reports that he faces a tense reception from world leaders in Biarritz.

 

In a Sunday morning tweet Trump says, "the Leaders are getting along very well."
