AIR FORCE FIRST – President Donald Trump said on Saturday that a group meeting of 7 countries planned to hold in the White House next month, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, will be postponed in the autumn. He also said he plans to invite Russia, Australia, South Korea and India, while re-defending the group’s expansion.

Trump told reporters at Air Force One that when they returned from Florida to Washington, the group’s current structure was “very old” and did not accurately represent “what’s happening in the world.”

He said he has not set a new date for the meeting yet, but he thinks the meeting may take place in September, during the annual meeting of the United Nations in New York, or perhaps after the US elections in November.

Alyssa Farah, the strategic communications director of the White House, said Trump wanted to bring some of the country’s traditional allies and those affected by the coronavirus to discuss the future of China.

Surprise announcement, German Prime Minister Angela Merkel’s office said on Saturday To attend the meeting unless the course of coronavirus spread has changed until then.

Leaders of major economies around the world are scheduled to meet in Camp USA, Maryland’s presidential retreat camp in June, but the coronavirus outbreak shook these plans. Trump announced in March that he had canceled the summit due to the outbreak and that leaders would meet with video conferencing instead. However, Trump later changed the route, saying he planned to meet again face to face a week ago.

Trump said, “Since our country has gone to lüğe Transition, I am planning to replan the G-7 in legendary Camp David on the same or a similar date in Washington DC. “Other members are also returning. It would be a big sign for everyone – normalization! “

G7 members are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the USA. The group’s chairmanship changes between member countries once a year.

Trump has repeatedly launched opposition from several members, including Canadian Justin Trudeau, who has repeatedly advocated journalists that Russia is withdrawn, arguing that the group will be expanded to include Russia.

“Russia has not yet changed the behavior that caused its deportation in 2014, and therefore it should not be allowed to return to the G7,” he said.

The parliament also made a bilateral decision in December 2019, which supports Russia’s deportation before the annual meeting.

Russia has been invited to gather the most advanced economies in the world since 1997, but was suspended in 2014 after the invasion of Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea.
