Merkel rejects Trump’s invitation to attend the G7 summit in Washington

ميركل ترفض دعوة ترامب لحضور قمة مجموعة السبع في واشنطن

AFP – Washington:

German Chancellor Angela Merkel will not attend an in-person summit of G7 leaders that US President Donald Trump has suggested he will host despite concerns over the coronavirus pandemic, a German government spokesman said Saturday.

Leaders from the Group of Seven, which the United States heads this year, had been scheduled to meet by videoconference in late June after COVID-19 scuttled plans to gather in-person at Camp David, the US presidential retreat in the state of Maryland.

Trump last week, however, indicated that he could hold the huge gathering after all, “primarily at the White House” but also potentially parts of it at Camp David.

Merkel, a scientist by training, has declined.

“As of today, considering the overall pandemic situation, she cannot agree to her personal participation, to a journey to Washington,” the spokesman said, confirming an earlier report on the Politico website.

“The federal chancellor thanks President Trump for his invitation to the G7 summit,” he added.

The 65-year-old chancellor is the oldest G7 leader after Trump, who is 73. Japan’s Shinzo Abe, also 65, is several months younger than Merkel. Their age puts them at higher risk from the coronavirus.

The White House has said it is putting the huge diplomatic gathering back on the agenda as a “show of strength” when world economies are gradually reemerging from shutdowns.

Merkel is the first to give a firm no, while other world leaders have expressed vaguely positive responses.

On Friday, the White House said Trump and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had spoken and “agreed on the importance of convening the G7 in person in the near future.”

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who hosted the 2018 summit, has said any in-person gathering would have to prioritize safety, while a French presidential official said that Emmanuel Macron was “willing to go to Camp David if the health conditions allow.”

European Council head Charles Michel, meanwhile, said through a spokesman that he would attend “if health conditions allow.”

G7 countries — Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States — take turns organizing the annual gathering. In 2019 it was France.

The United States is the worst-hit country for COVID-19 infections, having logged more than 1,745,000 cases and over 102,000 deaths.

(رويترز) – ذكرت شبكة بوليتيكو الإعلامية الأمريكية يوم الجمعة أن المستشارة الألمانية أنجيلا ميركل رفضت دعوة من الرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترامب لحضور قمة مقترحة لمجموعة السبع في الولايات المتحدة.

ونقلت بوليتيكو عن شتيفن زايبرت المتحدث باسم الحكومة الألمانية قوله ”تشكر المستشارة الرئيس ترامب على دعوته لها لقمة مجموعة السبع في نهاية يونيو حزيران في واشنطن. حتى اليوم وفي ضوء وضع الوباء إجمالا فإنها لا يمكنها الموافقة على الحضور شخصيا والقيام برحلة إلى واشنطن“.

وأضاف قائلا ”ستواصل بالطبع متابعة تطورات الوباء“.

وكان البيت الأبيض ذكر يوم الثلاثاء أن ترامب يرى أن عقد قمة لمجموعة السبع في الولايات المتحدة قرب نهاية يونيو حزيران هي أفضل مثال لرفع قيود العزل العام.
