LIMA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to leave Peru this morning for the G20 summit in Brazil as Ottawa seeks its place in a rift between the United States and booming economies in the developing world.
The Group of 20 is an intergovernmental forum with leaders ranging from long-standing allies such as French President Emmanuel Macron to populist firebrands like Argentine President Javier Milei.
"What you really need is basically the most powerful leaders, of the world's most powerful countries, talking among themselves — because only they know what it's like to deal with a leader in the same category," he said. "There are concerns around the level of Chinese investment in Mexico that I think need to be addressed, but I am hopeful that we're going to be able to work constructively over the coming months," Trudeau said at a Saturday news conference in Lima, adding that Mexico has been a"solid partner" to Canada.
"It's hard to think of a G20 summit where the host's and the Canadian prime minister's priorities had been so well aligned," Kirton said."We've got a lot we can do to help Lula get what he wants." Instead, they are paying massive interest charges at a time of high inflation. In July 2023, a UN report found nearly half the world's population lived in countries that spend more on debt interest payments than on education or health care.
In early 2023, Brazil was stunned as supporters of Lula's predecessor Jair Bolsonaro stormed the country's presidential palace, parliament and Supreme Court in what many likened to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington.
