President Donald Trump has replaced an in-person meeting of the Group of Seven (G-7) leaders at Camp David in June with a video conference due to the growing pandemic, the White House announced on March 19.

The gathering of world leaders at the G-7 summit is the latest in a string of high-profile events to be postponed or cancelled due to mounting fears of the rapidly spreading CCP virus, which has claimed the lives of at least 200 Americans.
