Leaders from around the world are gearing up for two major summits in South America, with the looming uncertainty of Donald Trump's return to the White House casting a shadow over the events. The implications of Trump's 'America First' agenda on the global economy and conflicts in Europe and the Middle East are key concerns for many.
China, in particular, is bracing for potentially strained relations with the United States and is looking to position itself as a stable alternative leader. Chinese President Xi Jinping sees the upcoming summits as an opportunity to advance Beijing's objectives in the aftermath of Trump's election victory.
