Germany expects 8,000 violent protesters at G20
 BERLIN: German security forces expect some 8,000 violent protesters to converge on the **rthern city of Hamburg this week where Chancellor Angela Merkel will host leaders of the G20 leading eco**mies, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said on Tuesday.Some 20,000 police ******rs will secure the July 7-8 event in Germany’s second-largest city where anti-capitalist protesters are expected to riot. Merkel and US President Donald Trump plan to meet on Thursday for what are expected to be tricky talks on the eve of the summit in Hamburg. Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert said the meeting would come before the summit, “most probably in the early evening of Thursday.” The pair also spoke by telephone on Monday, the White House said. Trump and Merkel “addressed climate issues, the Women’s Entrepreneurship Financing Initiative and trade, including global steel overcapacity,” the White House said in a statement following their “extensive discussion.” “The president said that he looks forward to helping Chancellor Merkel make the summit a success,” it said. Transatlantic differences on climate change, trade, defense spending and refugees hang over the July 7-8 meeting of the world’s major industrialized and emerging eco**mies. Merkel met with key European leaders last week and vowed to make a stand for climate protection and open markets at the meeting with Trump, who has said he will take the US out of the Paris climate deal and pursue a protectionist “America First” policy. Merkel said that “the differences are obvious and it would be dishonest to try to cover that up. That I won’t do.” She also said the US exit from the 2015 Paris climate pact had made Europe “more determined than ever” to make the accord a success. On Monday, presenting her party’s election platform, Merkel predicted “a whole ****** of thorny issues” at the G20. “We k**w the positions of the US government and I do **t expect them to disappear on a two-day trip to Hamburg,” the chancellor said. She warned against high expectations, **ting that the summit’s final communique has to be “approved unanimously.” She said that while there would be common ground on combating terrorism financing, “in other areas there are many differences.” German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, a former foreign minister, also said current differences with the US are unlikely to end. “If everyone in the world is looking for the best deal then in the end we all lose,” he said in an interview with Stuttgarter Zeitung. “I am very worried by these changes (in US foreign policy), and we can**t expect quick changes.” More than 20,000 police will be on duty for the G-20 meeting, whose participants include China’s President Xi Jinping, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan. More than 30 anti-capitalist protests are expected. A day before the G-20 starts, Trump will head to Warsaw for a meeting of central and eastern European leaders likely to include Hungary’s hard-line Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has sparred with western European leaders, especially on the refugee issue. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Germany expects 8,000 violent protesters at G20 || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
