President Trump said Thursday he wants Russia to be readmitted to the Group of Seven (G7) economic and political forum, more than a decade after Moscow was kicked out following the 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.

“I’d love to have them back,” Trump, 78, told reporters in the Oval Office. “I think it was a mistake to throw them out.”

“It’s not a question of liking Russia or not liking Russia,” the president added. “They should be sitting at the table. I think [Russian President Vladimir] Putin would love to be back.”

Russia was formally invited to the forum in 1997 and joined up the following year — forming the G8 alongside the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom. (The European Union and its various predecessors have also participated in the group’s annual summits since 1981).
