Synopsis

Synopsis
In Buenos Aires, thousands protest against the G20 summit, voicing their disapproval of global leaders. German Chancellor Angela Merkel arrives late due to technical issues with her plane, missing the opening photo opportunity. Saudi Arabia's Prince Mohammed bin Salman faces scrutiny over the country's involvement in the Yemen war and the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, receiving limited greetings from other leaders. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin, isolated due to tensions over Ukraine, is also present but avoided by many. The summit's agenda includes discussions on trade, with the United States and China expected to meet to address their ongoing trade dispute. US President Donald Trump achieves an early success by signing a revised trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. The leaders aim to issue a joint communique, but tensions may complicate this process.
