G20 virtual meeting is set to take place on Thursday and world leaders are expected to discuss a coordinated response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Washington will apparently seize this opportunity to launch a discussion about ending the price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia and warn the Kingdom that its economy could also take a hit if the crisis lasts any longer, the people said.
