Outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump has made no plans to host a summit of the Group of Seven (G7) advanced economies after cancelling a June gathering because of the COVID-19 pandemic, three diplomatic sources said on Wednesday. Three diplomatic sources said there had been no outreach by the Trump administration on dates or an agenda for a possible G7 summit. Britain, which assumes the rotating presidency of the G7 from the United States in January, last week congratulated Biden on his victory and invited him to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Scotland next year, as well as a G7 summit. Russia still holds the territory, and various G7 governments have rebuffed previous calls from Trump to readmit Moscow. The G7 groups the United States, Britain, France, Japan, Germany, Italy and Canada, and the European Union also attends.
