President Donald Trump said he’s planning an expanded Group of Seven leaders meeting in the autumn, potentially even after the November election, postponing efforts to hold the event in June at Camp David.
Trump, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, said he’d like to extend an invitation to leaders from Russia, Australia, India and South Korea as well the current participants, calling the setup “outdated†at the
moment. Trump wants to supplement the gathering of traditional G-7 allies with those impacted by Covid-19, and also to discuss the future of China, said White House spokeswoman Alyssa Farah, traveling with the president.
China, the world’s No. 2 economy, wasn’t among Trump’s proposed attendees as tensions between Washington and Beijing run high over the coronavirus and Hong Kong.
