A leader-of-the-free-world showdown looms between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Trump when she hosts the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg July 7-8.
Based on global opinions of the two leaders, think of a matchup between Europe's real-world political Wonder Woman without the skimpy outfit and a supervillian not dissimilar to Ares, the Greek god of war and archenemy of the comic book character in the new movie.
The G-20 summit brings together the leading industrialized and emerging economies
that represent 85% of global GDP for discussions that will include terrorism, global trade, climate change and conflicts that have spawned a flood of refugees. But everyone will be looking to see who picks up the mantle of world leadership.
A survey of world opinion published by Pew Research Center on Tuesday found negative views of Trump and many of his actions, such as withdrawing from international trade and climate change accords and a temporary ban on entry into the U.S. by people from six Muslim-majority nations.
