Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says there are many health and safety issues to be tackled before there can be an in-person gathering of G-7 leaders.

President Donald Trump is pushing the idea of having leaders meet in or near Washington sometime next month.

While Trudeau says that would be more effective than a virtual meeting, he wants to make sure the US has a plan to deal with the potential COVID-19 risk first and consider whether he'd have to quarantine for two weeks afterwards.
