After Nudge From Macron, G7 Leaders Agree On Coronavirus Cordination by YorubaKinging: 9:45am On Mar 17, 2020
Leaders of the world's advanced economies agreed Monday to coordinate their response to a growing coronavirus pandemic even as fractures emerge between Europe and the United States over travel restrictions and efforts to develop a vaccine.

In a morning videoconference, the Group of 7 leaders agreed to pool some medical resources and align their central banks as the virus causes major lockdowns and sends shockwaves through the global economy.

"By acting together, we will work to resolve the health and economic risks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and set the stage for a strong recovery of strong, sustainable economic growth and prosperity," the group wrote in a joint statement issued after the call

Last week, European leaders, particularly French President Emmanuel Macron, worked to convince President Donald Trump to organize the videoconference to discuss the coronavirus. Trump is currently the president of the G7, whose leadership rotates annually.

Beaming into the videoconference from the White House Situation Room on Monday morning, Trump appeared calm about plummeting stocks, according to his top economic adviser Larry Kudlow.

Instead, Trump and other leaders agreed to do "whatever it takes" to combat the coronavirus both from a health perspective and as well as its economic effects, Kudlow said.

"The degree of cooperation, coordination was fantastic," Kudlow said. "The theme, again, is whatever it takes."

Trump has voiced skepticism about the G7 in the past but agreed to host the call after it was suggested by Macron. According to two western officials, Trump agreed only reluctantly to convene the G7 leaders, which include Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

King Emmanuel leading the world leaders
He has to approve anything before it's been done

And after this meeting,
The world leaders said they are going to use ANY MEANS POSSIBLE to curb the virus

I know what that means
