Merkel and Trump head for clash at G20 summit - media

A clash between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and US President Donald Trump appears unavoidable after Germany signalled that it will make climate change, free trade and the management of forced mass global migration the key themes of the G20 summit in Hamburg next week.

Merkel’s agenda chosen for the summit looks likely to maximise American isolation while attempting to minimise disunity amongst others, the Guardian reported.

Trump has already rowed with Europe once over climate change and refugees at the G7 summit in Italy, and now looks set to repeat the experience in Hamburg but on a bigger stage, as India and China join in the criticism of Washington.

The meeting will also mark the first meeting between Trump and the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, as world leaders.

G20 summit will be held on 7–8 July 2017 in the city of Hamburg.
