From the story: "Privately, however, one official familiar with the situation said that other EU leaders would support Merkel and would not attend Trump's summit if Merkel thought it was a bad idea."

Looks like the G-7 is dead because if they snub Trump this year I don't see him participating next year or the years after that.

Everything else is cancelled. These summits are just about power and money and worthless.....and I believe there are usually riots. Cancel is good.

I always called the G-8 "Axis and Allies"

We may have finally reached the end of the Post WWII order.

Now we live in interesting times.

Further proof to me that this “pandemic” is a manufactured crisis.

The summits rotate from country to country each year. They cost a fortune in security and logistics and are basically photo ops. A quick video conference would be just as good but the argument is it won’t have the same feel or something. If the coronavirus sinks them forever it would be one hell of a silver lining.

Well gosh, I would think that a meeting of world leaders would be a great idea at this time, at a time of a world-wide crisis. /s ... sort of ...

On the other hand, maybe these gatherings are useless. They just attract more rioting and looting.

Lol. They apparently believe Biden will participate the summit next year, as TPOUS.

Good. Let’s rebuff any requests for military or money.

Merkel’s days are numbered anyway.

She may be coming to California to visit her daughter Meghan.

I’m sure they could set the chairs 6 feet apart and everyone could wear masks.

She would have said the same thing to President Obama, right?

This is a currency war. The Europe, China, an the Democrats have ganged up to replace the dollar as the world’s currency.
