This year's G20 economic summit is officially underway in Hangzhou, the first time world leaders have convened the meeting in China. The summit began Sunday, though President Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping met Saturday to commit their respective nations to the Paris climate change deal.

On the agenda for the two-day event are issues and negotiations including Brexit, a cessation of hostilities in Syria, catching the plotters of the recent coup attempt in Turkey, taxes for multinational corporations, nuclear power, and steel prices and production.
