(AP photo)US President Donald Trump has postponed the G7 Summit till September and expressed his desire to expand the "outdated" bloc to G10 or G11, including India and three other nations to the grouping of the world's top economies. He said the G7 Summit could happen before the UN General Assembly session in September. During the summit, the G7 president normally invites heads of states of one or two countries to attend the meeting as a special invitee. Last year, French President Emanuel Macron had invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7 Summit. Trump talking about inviting India to the next G7 Summit is reflective of the growing international stature of the country.
