G20 leaders are concerned that the pandemic might further deepen global divisions between the rich and the poor. "China is willing to strengthen cooperation with other countries in the research and development, production, and distribution of vaccines," President Xi Jinping told the G20 Summit. US President Donald Trump, who lost the US presidential election but has refused to concede to former Vice President Joe Biden, addressed G20 leaders briefly before going golfing. "An international treaty would help us respond more quickly and in a more coordinated manner," European Council President Charles Michel told the G20. Debt relief for Africa will be an important theme of the Italian presidency of the G20 in 2021.
