(From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) Brazil’s G20 starts tomorrow with a geopolitical objective that its main protagonists seek to crown when the deliberations in the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro: pass a final resolution that can act as agenda counterweight that Donald Trump will execute when he becomes president of the United States.
The document proposed by Lula da Silva -he is the organizing president of the G20- it takes months of negotiation and proposes to support the importance of Climate Change, defender the proposals of the 2030 development agenda and advance toward an institutional reconstruction of the United Nations (ONU)the International Monetary Fund (FMI) and the World Bank (BM).
Along with Lula’s initiatives, they align Xi Jinping (China), Joe Biden (USA) Olaf Scholz (Germany), Emmanuel Macron (France), Keir Starmer (United Kingdom), Shigeru Ishiba (Japan) y Justin Trudeau (Canada), among other key protagonists of the multilateral organization.
These world leaders they assume what he will try to do Trump in his second term, and they will leverage themselves on the G20 to have a deterrence mechanism against the proposals of the Republican administration, which will begin their march on January 20, 2025.
Specific weight of the G20 final document – known in diplomatic jargon as I communicated– will be relative If it is analyzed from the perspective of the heads of state who they will sign it this Tuesday, November 19 in Rio de Janeiro.
Biden ends by mandate in two months, Macron has chronic political weaknessScholz is very likely that lose the elections in February y Trudeau he is already leaving office in Canada.
That is to say: in the next G20 that will be held in South AfricaLula will be very alone against Trump, who has always had a very aggressive position against this multilateral organization. Even more: possible successors by Scholz and Trudeau share the ideas of the next president of the United States.
“The first thing we have to say to President Trump is this: I believe that the two of us, as heads of state of two important countries, “We have to have a very civilized and very democratic relationship,” Lula said in journalistic statements.
Trump already slipped what think of Lula and the importance of the G20 in Brazil. He postponed in time a call that Lula requested after his electoral victory, and when it is his turn to participate in a G20 he will behave how did he do it during the meeting in Osaka (Japan), where pushed hard to remove from final text all mentions to climate change.
The president-elect of the United States has ideological and personal harmony con Jair Bolsonaroand it will be refractory with Lula, who last week spoke thirty minutes with Biden about the G20 and his final communiqué. Biden endorsed the proposals of the Brazilian leader, but he can do little from his position as Lame Duck.
In addition to defending the concept of Climate Change, the majority of G20 partners support the 2030 sustainable growth agenda y the need to renovate the geopolitical architecture of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB).
After these specific objectives, Lula achieved the necessary consensus to debate these global governance issues during the two G20 sessions that will deliberate at the Museum of Modern Art.
Trump rejects the 2030 proposal, and believes that these multilateral organizations – designed in the Bretton Woods conference– son a shadow of the past that only serve countries that reject the basics of modern democracy.
The political resistance to the G20 proposals will have your first test with the position it will display Javier Miley during the Rio de Janeiro summit. The Argentine president is personal friend and ally in Latin America of the Republican leader, and rejects the tax on the super rich, the 2030 agenda and the Paris agreement on Climate Change.
The look that Milei displays in the G20 sessions It will be an exact replica of Trump’s ideological perspective. They were together 72 hours ago at Mar-a-Lago, and the harmony was perfect.
“Milei and Trump are two friends who respect each other and think the same about the world,” synthesized Gerardo WertheinMinister of Foreign Affairs of Argentina.
The G20 of Presidents and Heads of State starts tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro, which became an armored city. Lula deployed 9.000 officers and non-commissioned officers of the Brazilian Armed Forces and 15.000 military police, who will have the mission of protect global power in the most dangerous city from Latin America
