June 6, Bloomberg reported ——
As the international influence of the Group of Seven (G7) member countries continues to wane, the G7 is coming to an end.
The report pointed out that the current G7 accounts for less than 30% of the global gross domestic product (GDP), and its population accounts for less than 10% of the world's total population. The report emphasized that Russia's exclusion from the Group of Eight (G8) marked the end of the organization's political ambition.
In addition, US President Trump's skeptical attitude toward the G7 mechanism has also shaken the group's economic goals. He once said that the G8 mechanism including Russia was superior to the existing G7 mechanism. Trump pointed out that it was foolish for Western countries to exclude Russia from the G8 in 2014.
The G7 is an informal forum composed of seven major developed countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Canada, the United States, France, and Japan.
