We interrupt our blogging on Latin America to comment on Putin’s speech at the G20, live on France24. Salient words:
“Supply and demand
“Business stimulation
“Foreign investment
“Promoting investment climate
“Curb protectionism
“Increase openness of regional trade agreements
“Bolster transparency”
Who’s the grown-up?
UPDATE:
During the Q&A press conference, Putin vowed to help Syria if Syria’s attacked. He also asserted the rebels used the gas to provoke the US to intervene.
