WASHINGTON (AN) — U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters he will delay the annual G-7 summit until fall, after German Chancellor Angela Merkel declined an invitation to travel to Washington in late June due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The president said aboard Air Force One he believes the Group of Seven — Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States — has become an "outdated" organization of wealthy industrialized nations that does not represent the world at large, and he plans to invite non-members Australia, India, Russia and South Korea for a discussion at their next meeting to focus on China's future.
