SORRY, EUROPE, JAPAN AND AUSTRALIA: U.S. President Donald Trump is in a new club. And the G2 has only room for two members.
On October 29, 2025, shortly before meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump posted a message: "THE G2 WILL BE CONVENING SHORTLY!"
Then, just now, he posted a message saying that the G2 meeting “was a great one” and will lead to “everlasting peace and success”.
President Trump, who has the same sense of political direction as the little white ball that bounces around in a pinball machine, now considers China his BFF for ever.

FRIENDSHIP RIVALRIES
This will not make the other members of the US-led club, the G7, happy.
But they can take comfort from the fact that the term “forever”, when uttered by the US leader, tends to mean “one to two weeks”, but has sometimes been less than 48 hours.
The G2 idea was first proposed by economist C Fred Bergsten 20 years ago but has been little used since then.
In 2009, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband proposed a G3 of the United States, China and the European Union. Not only was this humiliatingly ignored, but Britain itself then left the EU. (Nobody likes the EU, including the EU members.)
All this is grim news for poor old Elbridge Colby, deputy head of the US Department of War. For years, he has been advocating the destruction of the Taiwan status quo that has kept East Asia peaceful, so that the island can be turned into another Ukraine.
Now his pet project will be delayed yet again.
For at least two weeks.
