Osaka, Japan (CNN) This weekend's G20 in Japan will be about as much fun for US President Donald Trump as bathing with a scouring pad. But having spent much of his presidency goading many of his fellow world leaders, he can expect little sympathy. He'll likely get short shrift if he does raise Iran: Putin is one of its biggest backers. And there are few things Putin wants more than to weaken the US grip in the Middle East and strengthen his own. Even before touching down in Osaka, Trump seemed to be backing down on Iran, perhaps wary of his already caustic G20 reception.
