Soon, this meeting was expanded, and other leaders from Europe, Australia, Canada, and Japan joined it, an EU representative said.
"We are working to make the US plan more applicable, based on previous dialogue," a source in European diplomatic circles told AFP.
Sources told AFP that there had been some contact with Washington, but none of the leaders had plans to fly to meet Trump.
Recall
The first ever African G20 summit began in Johannesburg, where leaders are expected to discuss issues of poor countries, climate change, and global inequality. However, the talks were overshadowed by a rift between summit hosts South Africa and the US over the Trump administration's boycott.
