Russia should be in G8 – Trump

Editor’s Note: Trump’s stance isn’t entirely surprising—he’s long been more open to engaging with Russia than many Western leaders. But this kind of statement still carries weight, especially as he campaigns for another term. It highlights the ongoing debate over how to handle Russia’s global role, with some seeing isolation as necessary and others, like Trump, arguing for reintegration. Whether this gains traction or not, it’s a reminder that Russia’s place in international diplomacy remains a contentious issue.
