2:02 pm
a meeting of me saying with multilateralism taking a back seat as one on one talks dominated the summit. in particular all eyes were on u.s. president donald trump's meeting with his chinese counterpart cheating paying their first talk since a trade war erupted between their countries earlier this year fifty the range of the first russia relationship that i had with president xi and i think it is going to be a very primary reason why we'll probably going to ending up getting something that moving much more china and the united states a success builds in a date the latest later announced an agreement to suspend new terrorists for ninety days a step towards defusing the trade will. be a different kind of war also proved a key issue in the conflict between russia and ukraine it was top of the agenda for german chancellor angela merkel's one on one with russian president vladimir putin

. she called on him to release the ukrainian failures detained by russia last weekend and said she wanted to avoid any further escalation. and give it to us officers don't forget we proposed and it is being considered to have a meeting in the normandy fall not for which the normandy councils being france germany ukraine and russia spewed about the processes happening there. putin however said he believed only a change in the ukrainian government would bring an end to the crisis. but he does you one thing old twenty leaders disagree on the need to reform the world trade organization given current trade tensions globally a success for this summit. for get us joins us from buenos aires have it's good to see you so first the deal between china's president xi and u.s. president trump isn't really
2:04 pm
a deal well you get it's interesting because before this summit even started and most experts and financial advisers for example had predicted that we would see mark deal that's how they call it at the end of this summit and that seems to be the case a deal where both presidents sit down and say they agreed on something special but without really changing the substance of the trade dispute is true that donald trump has decided not to impose further tariffs at least for now or to increase them and in exchange the chinese president has agreed on buying more agricultural products from the u.s. for example and also classifying fenton il as a controlled substance which means that there will be more regulation for fenton know which is critical in the midst of the crisis in the united states but the truth is that the substance meaning the tariffs between both countries are still in place and don't seem to be going anywhere and even if they sit down and negotiate we know that negotiations have so far a rather failed or at least been very difficult and i can't see why that would
2:05 pm
change now that we have this apparent deal and looking at these one on one meetings like meeting she and russian president putin meeting chancellor merkel and these bilateral talks overshadowing the summit itself. yes that is definitely the case but when you have pressing issues like the crisis between russia and the ukraine and you have chancellor angela merkel right there of being able to somehow at least intercede in negotiating with the parties that is an opportunity that you cannot miss you can say that sometimes urgent issues leave no space for important issues but that is in the detriment of the goals of the summit itself that is true that subjects like for example the gender pay gap or for example the fight on climate change or migration those issues cannot be addressed to the extent that the organizers would have hoped for but it's an opportunity that you have to take advantage of it all leaders are here having you're talking about
2:06 pm
the goals of the summit what is your take on this summit overall. well maybe first we have to talk about the organization and this is being hailed as a big success on the sunday right here when desire is a big hit for the government of modi so machree it was flawlessly organized with an impeccable security with peaceful protests so that was a dream for the government really but of course we have to take a look at the bigger picture about the communicate the end result of this summit is being called a success that's true but the standard on which we mess were at which we measure that success has definitely changed before it was about what the communicate said what commitments the countries made now in these days this whole fact that there is a communique and that the countries could agree on anything is the measure for success having i get as i was thinking.
