The two-day Group of 20 (G20) Summit in Argentina, which ended on December 1, has been presented in much of the press commentary as a gathering Tmore striking for the discord among its members than for any harmony. Topmost of these issues was the looming escalation of the trade conflict between the largest of the partners, the United States and China.In addition, there were the ongoing problems with Russia and recent clashes with its neighbor Ukraine, and the argument over Brexit and its impact on the rest of the European Union with the UK due to depart at the end of March 2019. There was also the issue of Saudi Arabia and the controversy over the disappearance and murder of a journalist in October in Turkey who had been critical of Riyadh.
