What to Expect for the Encounter at Mar-a-Lago

This week the leaders of the worlds two superpowers will meet for their first summit in the sunshine state of Florida. One superpower is the Established force of the world's policeman and has occupied this position since the end of World War II. The other is a rising superpower, the second largest economy in the world and yet still a developing country with no history of ever playing the role of global policeman. For the American President this will be his most important international summit to date and it will be very different from any that he has undertaken so far. Of all the leaders that President Trump has thus met so far none of them can be described as being anything near a rival or even approaching an equal to the United States on the world stage.
