Trump Postpones G-7 Summit

“President Trump said Saturday that he will postpone until September the annual Group of Seven meeting of world leaders, which he had wanted to hold in-person by the end of June at the White House as the administration tries to project a return to normalcy amid the coronavirus pandemic,” the Washington Post reports..

“But German Chancellor Angela Merkel had declined Trump’s invitation to come to Washington for the meeting, citing concerns about the pandemic.”

“Trump also said he plans to invite Russia, South Korea, Australia and India.”

Said Trump: “I don’t feel that as a G-7 it properly represents what’s going on in the world. It’s a very outdated group of countries.”
