Trump goes to bat for Kim and Putin at G7, claims "multiple leaders agree," won't name them

He quipped to reporters that North Korea hadn’t violated any rules by launching missiles, only to be quickly corrected by Japanese leader Shinzo Abe.

“We’re in the world of missiles folks, whether you like it or not,” Trump said, adding he understands how Abe “feels that way.”

“I’m not happy about it,” he said of North Korea’s launches, but continued to praise Kim Jong Un.

He suggested that multiple foreign leaders had told him they agreed that Russia should be readmitted to the G-7, when Europeans have been adamant that Russia should remain ostracized and argued with Trump about it at a dinner Saturday evening. Trump declined to specify who had agreed with him. “I could but I don’t believe that’s necessary,” he said.
