As global attention turns to South Africa hosting the G20 summit, headlines have focused on the absence of US President Donald Trump and whether it could undermine the summit’s credibility.
Turkish public broadcast service, TRT World News discussed with Paul Samson about the upcoming G20 summit in South Africa and the impact of US President Donald Trump’s absence.
"I think there's a significant issue here. There will be five leaders that aren't there, but Donald Trump won't be there, nor will he have a senior person replacing him. So, essentially, the US chair is empty," said Samson.
