Rio De Janeiro (Brazil), November 19 (ANI): Global leaders meet and greet at Summit venue in Rio De Janeiro. Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva opened the summit of the Group of 20 major economies on Monday (November 18) with the launch of a global alliance to combat poverty and hunger that more than 80 countries have agreed to back. As G20 leaders met at Rio de Janeiro's Modern Art Museum for two days of talks, their agenda highlighted a shifting global order as U.S. president-elect Donald Trump returns to power. Their discussions of trade, climate change and international security will run up against the sharp U.S. policy changes that Trump vows upon taking office in January, from tariffs to the promise of a negotiated solution to the war in Ukraine. In his opening remarks, Lula said the devastating effects of a changing climate can be seen around the world, calling for action by leaders on hand to address global warming and poverty.
