US to host next G20 world meeting

By: Micah Bacheller

The White house has confirmed that the next G20 summit of world leaders will happen in the United States. The meetings will take place in Pittsburgh, on September 24th and 25th. The great leaders will meet to discuss how the decisions of the last summit in London are working. They will go over the implementation of the plan so far, and decide if further money is needed to try and jump start the economy.
The choice of location is also interesting to look at. First, the USA was chosen as a country to host the summit. This demonstrates that the US is trying to reach out, listen and be open minded about the problems of the rest of the world. Looking at Pittsburgh as the choice of city is also interesting. It could have been in New York, the DC area, but they chose not too. Pittsburgh is a great example of a city that was once a depressed industry city, but is now a bustling city again. That is the kind of strength and mentality that the world needs in this economic crisis.
