From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Claude Fagg. Leaders from around the world are in Johannesburg for the G20 summit. It's the first summit to be hosted by an African nation. Among those in attendance is Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney, who's expected to push for more trade with European and Asian partners. The CBC's Carina Roman is traveling with the Prime Minister and has more. This is a bit of a take-stock moment for all members of the G20, especially with the absence of the U.S.

I mean, Donald Trump is boycotting the summit. In fact, there is no American official here. Yet one of the themes of this G20 is solidarity, in contrast to what Carney has characterized as a full rupture in the global world order. So for Canada, it's about focusing on like-minded countries. For example, Carney will meet today at some point with the European community. mission and Vietnam's president, trying to be a bridge between the Pacific Rim and European trade blocks. And Carney is also here to further Canada's trade interests with new partners, which is really all about his continuing to try and diversify our trade partners and become

less reliant on the U.S. Karina Roman, CBC News, Johannesburg. Also at the G20 summit, Ukraine's leader is mounting a new diplomatic push under a deadline from the White House.

The former Trump loyalist and fierce MAGA supporter says she'll leave Washington on January

the 5th. Steve Futterman has more. At one time, they were the best of political friends. Takes a lot of heat sometimes, but she ends up always being right. He liked her and she liked him. Donald Trump has and he will make America successful again. But that was then. Last night, Green announced she will leave the house and she put the blame directly on Trump, specifically his anger over her demand that the files involving Jeffrey Epstein be released. Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked in use by rich, powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States whom I fought for. Last night, Trump called Green's announcement great news for the

country. Few expect Green to remain on the sidelines, and she could possibly run for a Senate seat in Georgia next year. Steve Futterman, CBC News, Los Angeles.
