Today is the first day of the 2018 Group of 20 Summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This two day meeting bringing together heads of state and government of the twenty largest global economies has been held every year since 2008 and, next year, it will be hosted by Japan. Additionally, along the sidelines of the G20 Summit, global leaders hold a series of bilateral and multilateral meetings to address pressing global issues. For instance, today, the Canadian Prime Minister and the Presidents of Mexico and the United States, took advantage of their gathering in Buenos Aires to hold a joint signing ceremony for the renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), now called US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
