U.S. President Donald Trump said that the G7 summit most likely will be held at the White House.
Speaking to reporters before heading on a trip to Michigan, Trump said the meeting will be "probably at the White House and maybe a little bit at Camp David, but primarily at the White House," Fox News reported.
Trump on Wednesday first tweeted that he was considering rescheduling the June G7 summit - which was initially canceled amid the coronavirus crisis - on or around the same time as initially planned.
“Now that our Country is ‘Transitioning back to Greatness’, I am considering rescheduling the G-7, on the same or similar date, in Washington, D.C., at the legendary Camp David,” Trump tweeted. “The other members are also beginning their COMEBACK. It would be a great sign to all - normalization!”
The White House announced in March that, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the June meeting of the seven major industrial nations - Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan along with the U.S. - would be held by video conference instead of at Camp David, the presidential retreat in the mountains of rural Maryland.
