When President Donald Trump said on May 30 that he was postponing the annual Group of Seven summit until September due to the coronavirus pandemic (it is the United States’ turn to host the annual G-7 meeting), he also announced that he wanted to invite Russia to rejoin the body of world leaders. “I don’t feel that as a G-7 it properly represents what’s going on in the world,” Mr. Trump said, adding, “It’s a very outdated group of countries.” He was referring to Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the U.S. Mr. Trump went on to suggest that Australia, India and South Korea also should be included as members; all of them by the way, are already members of the G-20.
