Trump also made lengthy complaints about other countries’ trade policies and doubled down on his claim that Russia should be reinstated to the G7, having been suspended in 2014 after its annexation of Crimea. Trump’s statement on Friday that the Putin regime should be readmitted sparked bipartisan scorn and rebuke from key US allies.

“I think it would be an asset to have Russia back in,” Trump told reporters on Saturday. “I think it would be good for the world, I think it would be good for Russia, I think it would be good for the United States, I think it would be good for all of the countries in the G7.”

Trump blamed Barack Obama for not doing enough to counter Russian aggression in Ukraine, stating: “Obama can say all he wants but he allowed Russia to take Crimea. I may have had a much different attitude.”

Obama condemned Russia’s actions and pursued sanctions against Moscow.

So on one hand, Trump says he would never allow Russia to have Crimea yet wants to undo any punishments placed on Russia for doing just that.

What's done is done, sanctions aren't going to make them give it back and we need good relations with them.
It really doesn't matter now whether they should have taken Crimea back or whether we should have stopped them.
