March 19 (UPI) — President Donald Trump on Thursday canceled an in-person meeting of the leaders of the Group of Seven nations at Camp David and will instead hold a video teleconference.

Trump’s top economic advisor Larry Kudlow informed the other members of the G7 nations, which include Canada, Japan, Britain, France, Italy and Germany, of the change of plans for the June meeting on Thursday, White House spokesman Judd Deere said.

Deere said the decision was made to allow for each country to “focus all of its resources on responding to the health and economic challenges of COVID-19.”

He added Trump will hold video calls with the other nations two more times before June.

“The White House also informed the other G7 members that in order to continue close coordination, the president will convene the leaders via video teleconference in April and May just as he did this week,” Deere said.

isn’t that interesting - remember that meeting was going to be held in FLA but media + DEMs objected so he shifted to Camp David ... but no! Events intercede.
