Trump postpones G7 meeting

President Donald Trump said on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) that he will postpone until the fall a meeting of Group of 7 (G7) nations he had planned to hold next month at the White House despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. And he said he plans to invite Russia, Australia, South Korea and India as he again advocated for the group’s expansion.

Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he returned to Washington from Florida that he feels the current makeup of the group is “very outdated” and doesn’t properly represent “what’s going on in the world.”
