G20 Leaders to Convene Today in Brazil

Forex - G20 leaders will meet today in Brazil to discuss combating poverty, increasing climate financing, and other multilateral initiatives that could be disrupted by Trump's return to the White House. U.S. President Joe Biden will attend the final summit of the world's leading economies, but he will be a "lame duck" whom other leaders are already looking beyond. According to AFP, the star of the show is expected to be Chinese President Xi Jinping, who positions himself as a global statesman and a protector of free trade in the face of Trump's "America First" agenda. Brazil's leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will use his hosting duties to highlight his support for Global South issues and the fight against climate change.
