The White House said on Monday that currently there are no plans for a trilateral summit among the U.S., South Korea and Japan, but such a meeting could be possible.

U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan issued the position during a press briefing when asked about the possibility of such a meeting on the sidelines of the Group of Seven(G7) summit set for this week in Britain. 

Sullivan said that the U.S. currently doesn't have a trilateral scheduled, but there's the possibility for virtually anything in these small spaces where ten or 12 leaders get together in Cornwall. 

A trilateral summit among the three nations, if realized, would be the first since September 2017.

The three-day G7 summit is set to begin Friday. South Korea is not a G7 member but has been invited to this year's meeting as a guest, along with Australia, India and South Africa.
