The leaders of the Group of 20 major economies were preparing to gather in Brazil on Monday for their annual summit, anticipating changes in the global landscape with the impending return of US president-elect Donald Trump to power.

Axar.az reports that,citing Reuters, discussions on trade, climate change, and international security will collide with significant US policy shifts that Trump has pledged to implement once he takes office in January, ranging from new tariffs to his promise of negotiating an end to the war in Ukraine.

While US President Joe Biden arrives as a "lame duck" with only two months left in office, China’s President Xi Jinping will play a pivotal role at the G20 summit, which is fraught with geopolitical tensions due to ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.
