US EditionTrump Weighs C5 Forum of US, Russia, China, India, and Japan Excluding Europe: Report
Trump's proposed 'Core Five' forum would include the US, Russia, China, India, and Japan, excluding Europe and focusing initially on Middle East security, Politico reported.
- Last week, President Donald Trump reportedly considered a 'C5' forum uniting the United States, Russia, China, India and Japan, sidelining Europe-led G7, Politico reported.
- Framed as a fix for a multipolar world, the draft critiques the G7 and G20 as inadequate and prioritises deal‑making among major population and military economic powers, national security experts said the idea matches Trump's power‑centric approach.
- Planned as a regular summit, the C5 would mirror G7 summits, starting with Middle East security including Israel–Saudi normalisation, but US allies warned it could legitimise `strongmen` and weaken NATO cohesion.
- As Washington debates the idea, former aides called the proposal a major departure from great‑power competition, and national security experts told Politico it aligns closely with Trump's worldview.
- Politico noted it could not independently verify the extended, unpublished document mentioned by Defense One, while White House press secretary Hannah Kelly insisted there is `no alternative, private, or secret version` of the official 33‑page strategy.
