Anyway, the important events of these days were associated with the summit in Hamburg. What will be remembered the next big 20 – great hope and considerable unrest. But to Hamburg we’ll get to the end of the week.
It began on a Patriotic note. We celebrated the 4th of July, watched parades and fireworks, watching those who eat more hot dogs at Nathan’s and watched the movie theme. By the way, Macy’s fireworks have outdone themselves, this salute new York has not seen for 10 years.
Has not done without excesses and oddities. The renowned radio station NPR is traditionally read on this day the Declaration of Independence and parses it into quotes in Twitter. In a strange way this year canonical text adopted for the promotion, and the web sparked heated debate.
Despite warnings from local police not to engage in independent action and not to play with fireworks, the hospital has added to the unfortunate pyrotechnics. As usual, they were willing to test the tolerance of the patriots and debate about the meaning of the word freedom. Of course the roads were traffic jams and accidents, which, however, is typical not only for the holidays.
On Wednesday, America was stunned by the news of the deceased policewoman, who was shot in the car. According to the NYPD, the attack on the officer was not provoked by some previous events. Name wrote something while sitting in a car when the killer approached and shot the woman through the glass in the head. This case raised the legitimate question on the protection of the patrol cars. The decision to put armored glass all police vehicles was made after the death of a police officer and mother of three children. Although this is not the first case when the officer killed by a shot through the glass. After similar incidents in 2014 already, it was decided to partially equip the vehicle armored glass, now they will appear all the transport police Department.
Trump earlier in the week were preparing for the summit and continued the war with the media. Democrats believe that such persistent, protracted battles with the press — one of the symptoms of the strange behavior of the President. And they can be a reason for his recognition as legally incapable.
In Europe on the eve of the summit, a wave of riots and protests. The anti-globalists suddenly decided to join the Bil De Blasio. He went to Germany to take part in the rallies. And has caused quite a mixed reaction to their act at home. Critics considered it inappropriate that the mayor left the city at the time when the Big Apple needed a strong leader. Due to the preparation for the trip to Europe, the mayor missed the ceremony of swearing in of new recruits in the NYPD, overshadowed by the death of a police officer. And in General, his opponents believe that he deserves a European vacation, while the city grows the crime rate, homelessness, and train derailments in the subway.
Going to Hamburg, trump first visited Poland. In his speech in Warsaw, he approved the execution of poles financial obligations to the North Atlantic Union. In addition, called for joint efforts to stop the nuclear experiments of North Korea. The President of the USA said that the 2016 election intervened not only Russia, and even anyone, and that in General, it is a common thing for a long time.
The summit was held in Hamburg in the truest sense of the word with a twinkle. Peaceful demonstrations quickly turned into rioting. About 150 police officers were injured in the streets.
Amid this chaos, the tramp tried in vain to find a place in the hotel. For some strange reason, his team had not reserved a room for the President in advance. But at the last moment, it was almost mission impossible.
In the end, the couple stayed in the guest house of the Senate in Hamburg. The protesters reached here. Melania was a hostage to these riots and partially missed the event for the wives of heads of state.
While the President’s wife was sitting locked in the Senate house, the husband met with the leader of Russia. The interlocutors have exceeded the time limit of the conversation for half an hour. On some issues, an assessment of the intergovernmental dialogue of the Russians and the representatives of the United States was the opposite. Lavrov insisted that trump agreed with the fact that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 election. Tillerson was convinced that trump hard pressed Putin on this issue and excuses the Russians took is not unique.
On other points the differences were not. On Syria there has been some progress. The parties agreed to a ceasefire in the South. In addition, the countries plan to cooperate in matters of cybersecurity.
Both sides described the meeting as positive. Tillerson said the two sides have established a positive chemistry, trump called Putin’s «stunning», and Putin noted that the body-the tramp and his companion are completely different people, expressing hope that the meetings will become more frequent.
The G20 summit addressed issues of world politics, the environment and trade. From the second question, America withdrew, coming out of the Paris agreement, but promised to assist in the protection of nature. The trade, too, was not unanimity between Europe and the United States. Open market Trump not to their liking. But on support for third world countries, the fight against illegal trade and corruption in the country-20 came to a consensus. In Ukraine have decided that you need to comply with the Minsk agreement and withdraw heavy weapons from the contact line.
At the summit trump also met with the Mexican President. Discussed immigration, trade agreements and crime. The Mexicans say that about the wall at the meeting did not speak. The President of America in an interview, recalled that it was in his in the matter of payment for this project the Mexican side.
Another storm of emotions evoked at the summit, daughter trump Ivanka. At the stage of negotiations for African countries, the President went out briefly and its place among the world leaders took the daughter. The photo, which Ivanka sits at the table of negotiations at the G20, caused outrage and debate about public ethics and the need to follow Protocol.
And finally, weather. In California record heat as an inevitable complication of the high temperature of the fires started. Residents evacuate. From extreme weather conditions affects not only people, but animals. The state authorities are sounding the alarm because of the increased mortality among cattle. In new York the whole week was rain, in the subway, pouring water from the ceiling, puddles on the streets were forced with sorrow to think about rubber boots.
