Regrets

[T]he pandemic forced Donald trump to postpone the G7 summit in Washington.

How will he spin that? "Look how responsible I am," perhaps.

There'll be a video conference in lieu of meeting in person. It was ridiculous of Trump to keep people on the hook, planning, etc. for a June conference in the first place. It's been obvious for some time that schedule would not be able to be met.
According to the latest data from the Johns Hopkins University tracking site, there have now been more than 6,059,000 cases of the disease around the world, with 369,126 deaths.
And we account for more than 100,000 of those deaths!
Trump wanted world leaders to have a face-to-face meeting with him at Camp David near Washington next month but he said on Saturday that it would not go ahead. It follows a decision by Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, not to attend unless the spread of the pandemic showed signs of abating.

Trump said he hoped the meeting could take place in September instead and hinted that he wanted to invite more countries to attend, such as Australia, Russia and India.
That wouldn't be the G7 then, would it?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
