Recently, several US media have revealed that US President Trump intends to establish a new “core five” group composed of the United States, China, Russia, India, and Japan. In stark contrast to the current “Group of Seven”, C5 does not include any European countries. According to RIA Novosti, on December 11, local time, Medvedev, chairman of the Russian United Russia Party and vice-chairman of the Russian Federation Security Council, responded that this idea was a “blatant insult” to Britain, France, Germany and other European countries, indicating that Europe “is no longer the dominant player.” He later added that despite this, there is currently no official response or documentation confirming the existence of the C5.
