Trump want to expand G7

Trump wants to expand G7 to G10/11 to include India



US President 

Donald Trump

 wants to reformat G7, the group of seven advanced economies in the world, to make it a G10 or G11 that would include India, Australia, South Korea, and Russia.


Calling the existing formation “outdated,” Trump revealed the idea of an expanded group after announcing that he was scrubbing the G7 he had planned to host at Camp David in June.


German Chancellor Angela Merkel bailed out of the meeting earlier this week after Trump revised his decision on a virtual summit because of the coronavirus and decided he would host it in person. Other G7 countries - United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, and Japan - too appeared lukewarm about the summit given the pandemic situation worldwide.


The US President seized the opportunity to suggest a rejig of an organization that began as a G-4 in 1973 and has expanded since, while indicating the new group could meet in September, possibly on the sidelines of 

the UN General Assembly

 that meets around that time. “I’m postponing it (the scheduled G7) because I don’t feel that as a G7 it properly represents what’s going on in the world. It is a very outdated group of countries,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on his way back from Florida where he witnessed the historic launch of the first manned mission into space by a private company, 

Elon Musk

’s SpaceX.



In addition to drafting India, South Korea, and Australia, Trump also wants to bring Russia back into the group. Russia was part of the group before it was expelled in 2014 (when Barack Obama was President) after it invaded Crimea. Trump does not appear to feel too strongly about the Russian annexation.


My Openion:-
                       I think there is no another way except G20 summit when indian prime minister and US president meets.we know in G 20 summit not effective as much as we estimated and China is also member in G20 group.
so this new group can be more effective for the trade & development.
