MSNBC host Katy Tur and Foreign Policy Magazine Editor-in-Chief Ravi Agrawal claimed Monday that President Donald Trump wants to form an alliance with Russia and China while dumping the G7.
Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Kananaskis, Canada, near Calgary in Alberta, where he criticized the decision to expel Russia from the organization. Tur asked if Trump was going to ditch the group of democratic countries in favor of China, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

“I wonder, given the way Donald Trump speaks about it, though, do you foresee him, Ravi, maybe at one point saying it doesn’t want to be a part of it any longer, and he tries to go and create his own version of it, the G3 maybe, or G4 with Russia, Saudi Arabia and China, maybe G5 with India?” Tur asked Agrawal.
“It’s quite possible. Look, alliances come and go, so we should by no means imagine that these are static alliances,” Agrawal told Tur. “They’ve always been dynamic, and so it shall be. But I think he fundamentally misunderstands why the G7 exists.”
MSNBC hosts and guests routinely hyped claims that Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with the Russian government to defeat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and repeatedly had Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California, who often made claims about alleged collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia, on the air. The Steele Dossier, which was used to further allegations of collusion, was later discredited.
