France Reschedules G7 Summit for Trump
France changed the dates of the G7 summit to make sure the US President, Donald Trump, could attend.
The summit was moved from June 14-16 to June 15-17.
This change was made because Trump has a big event at the White House on June 14, which is his 80th birthday.
The G7 is a group of seven countries that meet to talk about important things.
The countries in the G7 are Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States.
Each year, one of these countries leads the group and organizes the meetings.
The change in dates was agreed upon by all the G7 partners after discussions.
France rescheduled the G7 summit from June 14-16 to June 15-17 to accommodate Trump's schedule.
Trump has an MMA fight event at the White House on June 14, his 80th birthday.
The date shift was a result of consultations with all G7 partners.
The G7 consists of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States.
Each G7 country takes turns leading the group and organizing summits and meetings each year.
