AAccording to information from Washington, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, will participate in the virtual G-20 summit this weekend. Trump will participate in the deliberations of major industrial and emerging countries chaired by Saudi Arabia on Saturday, a senior administration official in Washington said on Friday.
Trump has yet to acknowledge his defeat in the November 3 presidential election, making it difficult for Democrat Joe Biden to take office on January 20. By Friday, Trump had already announced his participation in the Asia-Pacific Economic Community forum, which was also held online.
The climate crisis will be a problem
At the G20 summit held as a videoconference, in which Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) also participates, the first topic is the global corona pandemic. In addition to the seven main industrialized countries and 13 emerging countries, countries affected by the pandemic such as Spain, Singapore and Switzerland will also participate, as well as representatives from the UN, the World Bank and the World Health Organization (WHO).
On the second day of the summit, chaired by King Salman of Saudi Arabia, the focus will be on the common fight against the climate crisis. Other debt relief for the world’s poorest countries as a result of the Crown crisis is also on the agenda.
Critics accuse Trump of repeatedly downplaying the crown pandemic and failing to take appropriate action. He attributed complicity to the WHO in the spread of the new virus and initiated the withdrawal of his country from the UN organization.
In the United States, more than 253,000 people have died as a result of corona infections, more than in any other country in the world. The number of confirmed cases of infection is also the highest in the world at more than 11.8 million.
Trump refuses to participate in the international fight against global warming. Following its decision, the United States withdrew from the Paris climate agreement.
