The G-20 Leaders issued a statement on COVID-19 today. It is tiny - only 5 sparse pages.
en.kremlin.ru/supplement/5485
The preamble: "The virus respects no borders. Combatting this pandemic calls for a transparent, robust, coordinated, large-scale and science-based global response in the spirit of solidarity. We are strongly committed to presenting a united front against this common threat."
There is not much here that Trump would agree on: "respects no borders," "transparent", "coordinated", "science-based response in the spirit of solidarity." "united front agains this common threat." Was Trump even present?
The section "Addressing International Trade Disruptions"
states "We reiterate our goal to realize a free, fair, non-discriminatory, transparent, predictable and stable trade and investment environment, and to keep our markets open." At least not "mutual" but Trump excluded WTO.
