Ten Kings - Global Government

Trump arrives in France for G7 summit amid disputes, dines with Macron - UPI.com
UPI reports: "President Donald Trump arrived in France on Saturday ahead of the G7 summit amid global disputes and economic uncertainty over trade war with China. [...]The summit's host, French President Emmanuel Macron, said he wants to address raging wildfires in the Amazon rainforest, but the slowing global economy appears to be the most pressing matter."

Comment: Without strong American leadership it's difficult to see how the Western powers will deal effectively with the many global problems on the agenda.  Perhaps the erosion of these institutions is a necessary precursor to establishing more effective mechanisms of global control?
