World leaders meet in Peru and Brazil as Trump’s potential return looms over APEC and G20 summits

World leaders are meeting this week in Peru for the APEC summit and in Brazil for the G20, the first major international gatherings since the U.S. election. Donald Trump's anticipated return to the White House is influencing discussions. Leaders are expected to focus on trade issues, particularly in light of Trump's promise to impose new tariffs. Countries are assessing their positions on the U.S. "trade enemies list" and considering how to protect their markets from American protectionism. The G20 will include discussions on global conflicts and economic impacts, with U.S. President Joe Biden attending. However, uncertainty remains about whether Trump will uphold Biden's commitments on global initiatives once he takes office.
