Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s piece on G-7 Expansion, titled ‘Trump’s Expanded G-7 Gamble’ is published in Japan Forward (an online newspaper of the Japan Forward Association Inc), on June 08, 2020.
The piece essentially argues that, the strategic motivations behind President Trump’s G-7 expansion are at present undeclared. But creating a grouping that combines the top economies of the world, with the exception of China, points towards a major anti-China narrative that seeks to remodel the economic alliance structure in a post-COVID order.
