The long-awaited bilateral meeting between the president of the United States, Joe Biden, and the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, continues to wait.

Biden will not hold any bilateral meeting with Sánchez, according to sources from La Moncloa, who clarify to EL MUNDO that the Spanish president has not requested this type of meeting with the American democrat.

This "non-request" contrasts with the desire shown in the past by Sánchez for that meeting to take place.

In La Moncloa they assure that Biden has invited him to a collective meeting of fifteen leaders at the end of the G-20 on the global supply crisis.

The US president has arrived in Rome this Friday, with time to hold various meetings on the sidelines of the summit of the group of the 20 considered top powers in the world to be held this weekend.

Among them, Joe Biden will meet with Pope Francis, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi;

the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel;

and the awaited one with the French president, Emmanuel Macron, after the disagreement of both by a contract of submarines in Australia.

But Sánchez still does not enter his agenda.

Sources from La Moncloa do expect a greeting from Biden to the Spanish president in, at least, the aforementioned meeting on supplies called by the American.

This collective meeting will take place on Sunday afternoon, once the G-20 has concluded, because the president of the United States, a member of the Democratic party, wants to debate with the majority of the leaders attending the summit about the supply problems unleashed after the Covid-19 pandemic.

The President's Agenda

Sources from La Moncloa emphasize that Sánchez's bilateral agenda, which arrives in Rome this Friday, will be loaded in any case with bilateral meetings.

At least with the leaders of Australia, Argentina, Canada and India, and also with the heads of the IMF, the OECD, the World Bank and the WTO.

The President of the Government, who is accompanied by the economic vice president, Nadia Calviño, as is usual in the G-20, has obtained an unusual role when invited to speak together with the Canadian Prime Minister,

Justin Trudeau

, in the session of this international summit dedicated to climate change on Sunday morning.

It is not usual for a country that is not a full member of the G-20 such as Spain - its status is that of a permanent guest - to be selected for a special intervention.

According to sources from La Moncloa, the Spanish socialist leader will appeal "dramatically" to accelerate the fight against climate change, because he considers that important global players are not up to the task.
