Trump not against inviting China to G7
The US President thinks it's a "good idea"
US President Donald Trump "would be happy" if the People's Republic of China was invited to the Group of Seven (G7), the politician said during a briefing with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on the sidelines of the G7 summit.
Trump was asked why he shouldn't invite China to the G7, given that it is the second largest economy in the world after the United States.
"Well, that's not a bad idea. I don't mind if someone wants to suggest that China join [the G7]. I think we could suggest that," the US president replied.
- China, like the aggressor country Russia, is a member of another organization of the world's largest economies – the Group of Twenty (G20).
- At the same briefing, Trump said that Russia's expulsion from the G8 was a mistake and "very insulting" to dictator Putin.
