Special Edition: Reuters first with key G7 news

Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) wealthy nations convened in Cornwall, England, last week, to discuss issues ranging from COVID-19 vaccines and economic recovery to climate change and geopolitics – and Reuters provided comprehensive coverage, keeping clients and readers ahead.

In the run up to and during the G7 summit, Reuters was first with the biggest news: China and the corporate tax deal. Reuters exclusively reported the G7’s sharp criticism of China and was first to report the striking of a G7 corporate tax deal. Reuters brought clients exclusive interviews with British finance minister Rishi Sunak and British foreign minister Dominic Raab, who said some countries were using vaccines as a geopolitical tool, and revealed the Brexit discussions between French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Reuters was also ahead of the competition, from a few seconds to over an hour, with key newsbreaks and delivered a rich visuals file with speed and breadth.
