To be sure, US President Barack Obama has tried to exercise global leadership. He pushed for the agreement to reform the IMF at the G-20 summit in Seoul in November 2010 (the first meeting to be hosted by a non-G-7 country), and he prevailed over understandable European reluctance to cede power.
无可否认，美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马试图实施全球领导。他在2010年11月首尔G20峰会（第一届由非G7国家举办的会议）上推动改革国际货币基金组织的协议，并且成功说服了那些显然不愿放弃权力的欧洲国家。
