The big names mysteriously missing from UN get-together
Play
World leaders kicked off their annual gathering at the United Nations on Monday, but three global leaders are absent.
They are Russia’s Vladimir Putin, China’s Xi Jinping and Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi.
I can understand why Suu Kyi is a no-show, but Putin and Xi? Are they guilty of something? Are they under pressure, or ashamed, or afraid of something? Or do they want to avoid Trump?
Any ideas, anyone?
