President Trump is leaving the door open to recognizing Russia’s annexation of Crimea, a Bloomberg reporter interprets from Trump’s comments to reporters Friday on Air Force One. Asked if the U.S. would accept Russia’s claim on the territory it seized from Ukraine, Trump said; “We’re going to have to see.” Earlier in June, at the Group of Seven meeting in Quebec, Trump declined to criticize Russia for annexing the Ukrainian peninsula, noting: “They’ve spent a lot of money on rebuilding it.”
