BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — President Donald Trump is meeting Argentine President Mauricio Macri as he kicks off two days of diplomacy at the G-20 meeting.
The leaders greeted each other warmly Friday as the annual meeting of leaders from rich and developing nations opened in Buenos Aires. Trump spoke about his longtime personal friendship with Macri and said they would discuss trade, military purchases and other issues.
Macri is hosting his counterparts as he struggles with a raft of domestic issues, including trying to halt economic turmoil that has caused the steep depreciation of the Argentine peso.
Trump and Macri enjoy a personal relationship dating back to their days as businessman.
Macri visited the White House soon after Trump took office in 2017.
They were both sons of millionaire property-developers.
In fact, Trump did business with Macri’s father.
This is probably the reason that he didn’t order AF1 to turn around – he had a buddy waiting whose shoulder he could cry on about how abused and misunderstood he is.
In a piece about just how unprepared Trump is for the G-20 Slate’s Fred Kaplen wrote “Oscar Wilde once defined a cynic as “a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.” That’s Trump, though cynic barely begins to hint at the depths of his shallowness.”
Trump looks very weak at the G20 Summit!
I fact he looks like he’s representing shithole country and not America!
