This is the first time since World War II that the USA's major allies in Europe and Asia have held a world-level summit to the exclusion of the USA. This shows how both Europe and Asia wish to escape from their past role of always following the USA's lead, and their desire for the three great forces of Asia, Europe and the USA to stand on an equal footing.
這是第二次世界大戰以後，美國在歐洲和亞洲的主要盟友，以排除美國的方式，舉行世界級高峰會，顯示無論是歐洲或亞洲都想擺脫過去對美國言聽計從的角色，要求亞洲、歐洲和美國三大勢力平起平坐。
