President Donald Trump speaks as he meets with Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a working breakfast on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan, Saturday, June 29, 2019.
Donald Trump's coming return to the White House hangs heavily over world leaders gathering this week in Peru for the APEC summit and then in Brazil for the G20 — two of the first international summits to be held since the U.S election.President Donald Trump speaks as he meets with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a working breakfast on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan on Saturday, June 29, 2019.
"This time, there's a lot more intelligence to be had. So as opposed to the first administration, there's more substance upon which to have discussions," said Carlo Dade, director of the trade infrastructure centre at the Canada West Foundation.
"Some say when the U.S. becomes unreliable and unpredictable, that other democracies, middle powers like Japan, Australia, Canada and others, should be coming together and cooperating more closely," said Vina Nadjibulla, vice-president of research and strategy at the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin will again not attend the G20 this year — freeing the host country from the awkward prospect of acting on an international warrant for Putin's arrest. Trudeau could have what's known as a "pull-aside" — or even a formal bilateral meeting — with U.S. President Joe Biden, who is scheduled to be at both summits. That meeting might be more of a farewell than something forward-looking.
Despite being primarily trade and economic summits, both the G20 and APEC meetings will see closed-doors discussions of the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and their impacts on the global economy, supply chains and security.
