New Delhi, June 17 -- Several on social media fact-checked US President Donald Trump's claim that former President Barack Obama and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "threw" Russia out of G8.

Speaking at the Group of Seven (G7) meeting on Monday, Trump said, "The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn't want to have Russia in."

"And I would say that was a mistake, because I think you wouldn't have a war right now if you had Russia in and you wouldn't have a war right now if Trump were president four years ago," Trump said.

Trump said Monday that Putin was "very insulted" by the G8 expulsion and that if Russia were still a member, "you wouldn't have a war right now."
