President Trump to convene videoconference with G7 leaders in April and May – Reuters

Reuters reports that President Donald Trump will cancel an in-person meeting of G7 leaders at Camp David in June because of the coronavirus and will hold a videoconference instead, the White House said on Thursday.

The decision comes as nations around the world seal their borders and ban travel to stop the virus' spread.

Trump held a videoconference with the leaders of the world’s major industrialized countries earlier this week and plans to repeat that in April, May and June when the physical meeting at the presidential retreat in Maryland was scheduled to take place.

De-dollarisation by design: Gold’s partner in the new system
