German Finance Minister Joerg Kukies has ruled out the possibility of Russia rejoining the Group of Seven nations, contradicting US President Donald Trump's request. In an interview with Reuters, Kukies stated that Russia will not be readmitted, citing concerns over its actions. This decision is likely to impact global economic policies and international relations. The G7 group, comprising the world's leading economies, has been a key platform for discussing global issues, including economic growth and trade policies. With Russia's exclusion, the group's dynamics are expected to remain unchanged, at least for now, amid rising geopolitical tensions and trade wars.
