An Overview of Durbin’s Condemnation

The Illinois Senator’s criticism of President Trump relates to the upcoming G-7 summit. Earlier today, while speaking to reports, the Commander-in-Chief opined that Russia ought to be a part of the summit. Trump moreover stated that even though Russia faced rejection from the G-8 summit, they deserve to have a seat at the table.

His specific remarks read as follows:

Whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run. In the G-7, which used be the G-8, they threw Russia out. They should let Russia come back in because we should have Russia at the negotiating table.

The foregoing statements did not sit with certain individuals, mainly the President’s critics. His political adversaries moreover noted the continuation of the ongoing Russia investigation. The President and his supporters have frequently blasted the probe as a “witch hunt,” thus calling for its closure.
