Just a thought...it's not the G7......if France, Germany and Italy are members of the G7 in their own right, why does the EU in the person of Von Der Leyen get to go? Don't the interests of the three countries mentioned coincide absolutely with those of the wider EU? Or,am I mistaken?
Sorry to bang on. There’s a photo on BBC news of the G7 participants..... but there are 9 people. I know number 8 is Von Der Leyen.... who’s number 9...., anyone?
