The G20 summit in Turkey is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's first opportunity to meet the world’s biggest political leaders.  The attention of the world leaders was going be on the economy but instead has focused on the Paris terror attacks. After the conclusion of the G20 meetings in Turkey Trudeau then heads to Manila for an APEC summit that is expected to include discussions of the Trans Pacific Partnership, a sweeping Pacific Rim trade deal.
