Scott Morrison confirms talks with US about attending postponed G7 summit
Spokesman says PM will attend if invited, after US president cited Australia among possible additions to event line-up
Scott Morrison has confirmed he has been in talks with the United States about attending the postponed G7 summit, after the US president indicated he wanted to expand the event from a “very outdated group of countries” to discuss China.
On Sunday, Donald Trump said he felt the current G7 membership does not adequately represent “what’s going on in the world”, and specifically cited Australia, Russia, South Korea and India as possible additions.
