President Trump on Sunday said that it was "certainly possible" he would invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to next year's Group of Seven (G-7) summit in the United States.

The president made the comments ahead of a meeting with United Kingdom prime minister Boris Johnson during this weekends' G-7 summit in Biarritz, France. Asked about the prospect of inviting Putin to next year's meeting of industrial powers, Trump said that the idea had been discussed.

"We did discuss it. We had a very good discussion on Russia and President Putin, and a lively discussion, but, really, a good one," he said. " And it's certainly possible. It's certainly possible. We'll see."

Johnson added that the discussion was "lively."

Russia was removed from what was then the G-8 after its 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula.

1. I called this in a comment to another thread earlier today

Simple minds are so predictable and you know he won't let it go.

13. Of Course!

But the invite won’t be a surprise like Macron pulled on him. Again, Trump serves leftovers. That’s gonna sting.

The real surprise may be Trump having the power to do it if he’s impeached or has already resigned to avoid jail.

He’ll say he resigned to save others in his (criminal) family because that’s the kind of guy he is—always thinking about others before himself.

Or at least playing that role. Badly. Very badly. He can’t even act selflessly in a convincing manner.

2. If he does invite Putin next year,

I sincerely hope that none of the real G-7 members bother to attend.

3. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, more bullshit.

His words are nonsense,

6. Too bad we can't uninvite MF45 but he will be profiting personally

from it and his boss Putin will likely be the star of the show and not the host. ITMFA!
