Both sides are taking care about keeping chances and possibilities to scale down their confrontation.

The two presidents talked about, of cause, Ukraine, concretely about the conflict in Ukraine’s eastern regions and the relations between Russia and the smaller neighbor.

Now US President Donald Trump`s anger over the UK seems to be limitless.

Nobody thinks about installing the best candidates in the best interest of the EU but only cared about its own interests.

From now on there is no return to the past for Mr. Trump, Mr. Kim Jong-un and Mr. Moon Jae-in any more.

Last weekend marked a milestone for Vietnam`s trade relations when the long-awaited deal was signed.

Except some small details, this agreement looks similar to what the two men had reached last year in Argentina, also on the sidelines of the then G20 annual summit.

The encounter was of very positive significance that they met with each other again.

After a not short standstill, the bargaining between the US and China will start again.

In showing to the outside, both the US and Iran have been insisting that they did not want war against each other but all determined to respond to the other`s provocations with the same toughness by the same weapons.

The dimension in the case of India is not comparable to that in the case of China, but it is the same game the US is now playing with China and India.

This year in Osaka, it will still be another summit of China, India and Russia on the sidelines of G20.

They could not succeed because they were not fully selfless, the US and Iran are still miles away from being ready to sit down and talk with each other about scaling down the tension and solving the conflict.

Ironically for the US, the more problems the US caused to Russia and China, the closer and stronger the relationship between Russia and China would become.

Possibly, like last year in Argentina, Trump and Xi would meet in private, talk to each other and reach new agreements and solve the dispute or at least to reactivate their bilateral trade talks.

Abe`s special kind of diplomacy seemed to have succeeded.

The message and the lesson were that the people in the EU were not satisfied with the bloc and wanted it to profoundly and quickly change, both politically and institutionally.

The time ahead will not be not easy and comfortable for the election winners and for their countries.

Latest moves by both China and the US would result in speculations.

The US maximum pressure strategy on Iran together with trade sanctions may result in worse impacts.
