The media reported on the Canadian Prime Minister's response to Trump's words about Russia's exclusion from the G8

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded to the words of US President Donald Trump about the fallacy of excluding Russia from the G8 with harsh rhetoric. The Politico newspaper wrote about this on June 18.

According to the publication, initially, after these words of the American leader, Carney did not immediately contradict him. However, when Trump returned to the United States, the Canadian Prime Minister was much bolder in his statements to reporters.

"This (Trump's statement. — Ed.) it was, to put it mildly, personally insulting to the citizens of Ukraine," Politico quoted Carney as saying.

On June 16, Trump called Russia's exclusion from the G8 a mistake. In his opinion, if this had not happened then, there would be no conflict now. The G7 currently includes the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Canada, the United States, France and Japan.

In turn, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia agreed with Trump's statement about the country's erroneous exclusion from the G8.
