Macri-May meeting in Hamburg suspended; rescheduling under consideration
The first day of the G20 summit is nearly over, and on Friday afternoon in Hamburg, British Prime Minister Theresa May canceled her solo meeting with Argentine President Mauricio Macri due to “scheduling problems.”
According to Argentine sources they are trying to reschedule, but as the delegations of both parties must agree to the meeting, logistics are still uncertain.
Before the summit, May had extended the offer to meet privately with Macri at 10 am on Saturday, July 8 in the Hotel Meridien, where they are both staying for the summit. If they reschedule successfully, the meeting would move to breakfast at 8:30 am.

Macri is guilty of being foolish only by following the obligatory position that Argentina is actively seeking “dialogue” with the UK, in order to please the masses.

It proved embarrassing for Malcorra - she realised how stupid and economically anti-productive it is.
The reality is, Argentina doesn't expect or want “dialogue”.
Hector Timmerman ran away in London when he was granted his request.
Doesn't Argentistan realise that all this “che, we wanna meeting to monologue with xxx” is just another way of saying to the world, “see what a failure we are? ¿viste? ”

Wake up and smell the yerba.
