Diplomacy
Host with the most
The leaders of the G20 are in Buenos Aires for their next summit, which kicks off today. This is a diplomatic opportunity for Argentinean president Mauricio Macri, as his country is the first in South America to host a G20 summit. But will Macri benefit from his time in the spotlight – or will he get burned? With Argentina’s economy still in the grips of a currency crisis, he could use a win on the diplomatic front. Yet with the words “trade war” on the minds of Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, there is plenty of opportunity for the two-day summit to go south, and with the world watching no less.
