Inside President Trump's decision to delay the G7 meeting
It became clear to the White House late last week that convening an in-person G7 economic summit on US soil would likely be impossible by the end of June, particularly with the addition of several other countries Trump said Saturday he wants to include in the meeting, people familiar with the matter told CNN.German Chancellor Angela Merkel's announcement that she"cannot confirm" she would participate due to concerns over coronavirus helped cement the decision, those people said.
"Logistically to pull something like that off, I think it will take a little bit more time, so we're probably looking at the September time frame."Trump had coordinated extensively with Macron as he worked to revive the in-person summit in June, but his announcement earlier in May that he wanted to bring leaders to Camp David in a month's time caught fellow governments off guard, CNN has previously reported.
