In late March.
In late May, in discussions with Putin, Trump attempted to invite Russia back into the G-7 (the G-8 before Russia’s expulsion due to Putin annexing the Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula). G-7 allies reminded the U.S. that Russia is an outlaw nation and should not be readmitted to G-7 (U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Britain, Italy, and Japan).
“Coalition forces” with bounties on their heads mean U.S. troops and other allied troops, including Britain’s.
Since March, 20 U.S. troops have been killed; there is an ongoing investigation as to whether bounties were paid for our dead troops.
Russia denies.
