Germany can't confirm Merkel will attend G7 in person - spokeswoman

BERLIN, May 27 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel cannot confirm her physical presence at an envisaged summit of the Group of Seven (G7) in the United States yet, a spokeswoman said on Wednesday, adding that this would depend on how the coronavirus pandemic develops.

President Donald Trump believes there would be "no greater example of reopening" than holding a summit of Group of Seven leaders in the United States near the end of June, the White House said on Tuesday. (Reporting by Thomas Seythal Editing by Michelle Martin)
