Washington (CNN) 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. Trump said at a White House briefing later in the day that it "looks like" the G7 summit will still be able to be held at Camp David in June, but later hedged a bit more saying, "I think so, so far it seems. Trump said the G7 summit did not come up on the call, saying it is "still a ways off." Earlier in the briefing, Trump said that the outbreak could last until July or August, or perhaps even longer.
