We need to cancel the next G7. Let’s resume them when Trump is gone

Michael Fuchs writes about why the G-7 should be canceled next year.

The takeaway from the 2019 Group of 7 (G7) Summit? We need to cancel the 2020 G7.

The goal of the G7 is to bring together some of the world’s most prosperous democracies to coordinate on the most important issues of the day. Whether on climate change or responding to Russia’s invasion of Crimea or making gender equality a reality, the G7 countries are supposed to lead, crafting policies that can foster global peace and prosperity in ways that uphold democratic values.

Right now, the G7 is not equipped to work towards these goals.
