BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — World leaders began arriving in Buenos Aires on Thursday for the summit of the globe’s largest economies, with attention expected to focus on issues including a trade war between the United States and China, a new North American trade deal and the conflict in Ukraine. “The G-20 Leader’s Summit is at risk of falling into disarray with the summit being overshadowed by items not on agenda, such as the United States and China trade war, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and the presence of the Saudi crown prince,” Bernes said. At 40, Macron is one of the youngest leaders at the summit and sees himself as representing a new generation of world statesmen. ADVERTISEMENTHe also came to Buenos Aires early in hopes of clinching a 360 million euro warship deal with Argentina’s navy. Some French CEOs are also on the trip, as French companies bid for other deals such as one for managing the Buenos Aires subway system.
