Pedro Villagra Delgado, the experienced diplomat, but it is clear that there is a different theme, and especially a President, namely, the American, will dominate the scene in Buenos Aires. With its “America first”trade policy, Donald Trump’s allies like the EU and Canada, but also rivals such as China has pushed in front of the head. Punitive tariffs and trade conflicts of the world trade shrinking, warns the Head of the International monetary Fund Christine Lagarde ahead of the G20 summit: “It certainly shows the effects of the measures on economic performance. In the worst-case scenario, global economic output would drop by 0.5 percent. This is our assessment, which we share with everyone who is interested in trading.”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and many others have made up your mind to throb in Buenos Aires there is a fair and free world trade. At the Moment, the situation looks as if there would be a summit under the Motto: “All against one, all against Trump.” The American President will only spend one of the two summit days in Argentina, will engage in such arguments. For him, it’s about “America first,” as he has done in the last week before his brief vacation for thanksgiving. The international institutions such as the world trade organization (WTO) or the G20, are to him rather a nuisance. Trump wants to use the Meeting in Buenos Aires in order to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping. He wants a bilateral Deal, and threatens at the same time. “We make it very well with China. China wants to complete a Deal. You might not say to you, but you want it doll. I still have $ 250 billion in customs duties-which I can impose, if we get no Deal. Believe me, I’m going to impose, because China has robbed our country for many, many years. This will not happen with me,” Trump said in Washington.

Africa, Education, Opportunities
In addition to the “Trump Show”, as EU diplomats describe the expected spectacle, it’ll go in Buenos Aires, a lot of conversations about the better training of young people and workers.

He had recently visited Germany, and to a G20 preparatory meeting attended. Ramaphosa said to the German Delegation turned: “The way how your System works, where workers, companies and the state work together, was for us a window through which we could look. We can say that we are learning. A challenge of lack of skills. There is a huge shortage of skilled workers in our country. Since Germany can teach a lot.”
The training of specialists could be not only for Africa, but for many parts of the world, a model that assumes G20 Sherpa Pedro Villagra Delgado. “We will show to the G20, the southern perspective, the perspective of a developing country. Because we are still a developing country. This is clearly reflected in our priorities.” And these priorities are other than that of the US President, so Villagra Delgado.
Duty to cooperate
The Argentine summit-host hope at the end of the leaders of the world, represented at least a good 80 percent of global economic output, and back, in spite of Trump, again close together. “It is my wish that in the final document of the G20 summit, the commitment of the Powerful to recognize that you have to work together for the good of us all.” The summit Declaration will be adopted on the second day, when Donald Trump will be back on the journey home. EU diplomats said the meeting prior to the summit, with many of the points there is also Compliance with the US Delegation. They wanted to reform, for example, together, the world trade organization WTO. And you have to keep Trump and his people: “you have to bump a lot of and movement in old conflicts.” Pedro Villagra Delgado, the Sherpa, summarizes his personal G20-Motto: “the Only thing certain is that everything changes.
