President Trump postponed the summit of seven major countries scheduled for next month in September. He also said that he would like to invite Korea. It is an opportunity to increase the national status, but it is also a burden to receive Trump's proposal to exclude China.

surprise proposal came after President Trump's first private manned spacecraft launch site.

Local media reported that President Trump announced his intention to postpone the G7, a summit of seven major countries, in September and invite South Korea, Australia, Russia, and India to the White House.

Emerging powerhouses were invited to expand the G7, but China was a great fit.

Trump said that he had spoken roughly to the leaders of the four countries mentioned.

It is clear that from the G7 participation and the Korean perspective, it is an opportunity to increase the national status.

However, the Blue House said, "We have not received any notice from the United States in advance."

In the face of escalating conflict between the United States and China, it seems that the exclusion of China is concerned that participating in the G7 expansion meeting, which seems to have a clear intention, can burden the ROK-China relationship.

There is also a realistic concern as to whether the President may visit the United States when it is not known whether the situation in Corona in the US will be quiet.

Of the four newly invited countries, Australia was the first to welcome, and it is noteworthy how our government will respond.
