China, Germany to step up global leadership at G-20
Germany and China are expected to take up more of the leadership role long held by the United States at the upcoming Group of 20 (G-20) meeting, Bloomberg reported Monday.
Diplomats and officials from G-20 countries told Bloomberg that they are looking to the European and Asian powers to take the lead on global issues at the annual summit, which is set to take place in Hamburg, Germany, later this week.
The expectation for China and Germany to mount an informal alliance to take up the leadership role comes amid accusations by some countries that the U.S. under the Trump administration has abdicated its world leadership role.
