OSAKA - World leaders are descending on Osaka, west Japan, for a summit on Friday and Saturday of the Group of 20 big economies.
The United States and China agreed to a tentative truce in the nearly year-old dispute ahead of the Osaka meeting, Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post reported on Thursday, citing sources. Abe hopes to get free-trade language in the meeting’s closing communique but faces resistance from Trump, who last year forced the G20 to drop its longstanding pledge to avoid protectionism.A tussle over global warming continues, with U.S. negotiators opposing a European-led push for a strong commitment to fighting climate change.
Trump at the last minute halted an air strike on Iran last week in retaliation for its downing of a U.S. drone. Since then, he has strengthened sanctions on Iran and threatened it with “obliteration”. Iran said his sanctions were “mentally retarded”.
