The G7 summit just held in France is lacking.Even if the Iranian foreign minister Zarve suddenly met with French President Macron in airborne, it was more dramatic, and it was difficult to estimate the effectiveness.Although U.S. President Trump, under Macron lobbying on Monday, seemed to have a good gesture and said he was willing to meet with Iranian President Rouhani, but after three times and after the US -DPRK summit, even if the American Summit was successful, would it change the international pattern?You can judge yourself.
Trump repeatedly called the negotiating style
Trump had a tense relationship with other participating leaders in the Canadian G7 Summit last year. The joint communiqué also showed that the US position was very different on the climate change issue for two consecutive years.EssenceIn order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, Macron simply did not issue a bulletin, and only issued a page statement covering trade, Iran, Ukraine, Libya and Hong Kong.The United States and other developed countries are left on the issue of climate change, and climate change is naturally not covered by a statement; it is worth noting that even North Korea is not in the statement. I believe this is also because of Trump.Trump was unhappy, but insisted that North Korea did not violate the agreement and sang against allies in Japan.
Trump's unpopularity is seen in the Sino -US trade war.He announced on Friday that he would impose tariffs on China, and even asked the public, the Chinese President ... Whether the biggest enemy, but by Monday he changed his face, praise ... is a great leader.He said: This is the style of my negotiation. I have benefited from this style for many years, and it must have greater benefits to the country.
This style has not been seen in the large transaction in Trump's mouth, and only further impacts the global political leadership.At present, most people are most worried about the global economic downturn risks under the haze of trade war, but the G7 statement only gently requires that the financial minister to closely monitor the economic situation. After the financial tsunami in 2008no longer.What is even more worrying is that financial officials such as the central bank's governor are also difficult to make independent professional decisions by political interference. Trump continued to bomb the Federal Reserve President Powell forced the other party to reduce interest rates.
The Jackson Hole central bank governor's meeting held last weekend was shrouded in this uncertain factor.The Financial Times described that the meeting was not the same as the world's no longer the same. Participants believed that the global system had reached a turn: Caijin officials could no longer use the financial and gold tools used before the financial tsunami in 2008, and the United States did not use economic and trade policies in 2008.Then there are predictable actors.Trump's real people may only exacerbate this uncertainty.
