On 7 July terrorism, free trade and the United States' withdrawal from the Paris Agreement were on the agenda, on 8 July Africa was supposed to be a topic.{{cite web |url=http://www.heute.de/g20-suche-nach-kompromissen-beginnt-47520966.html |title=G20: Suche nach Kompromissen beginnt |work=heute.de |date=7 July 2017 |access-date=8 July 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170707101935/http://www.heute.de/g20-suche-nach-kompromissen-beginnt-47520966.html |archive-date=7 July 2017}}

Wolfgang Schäuble, German Federal Minister of Finance, insisted on the interconnected nature of many issues facing G20 nations and the need to reach effective, cross-cutting policy measures: "Globalization has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, but there is also a growing rise in frustration in some quarters […] development, [national] security and migration are all interlinked"

The disagreement in steel production and trade remained. Donald Trump accused steel producers in China and Europe of dumping and threatened them with antidumping duty. The G20 demanded a report of overcapacities by November 2017.David Böcking: [http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/g20-gipfel-in-hamburg-absage-an-protektionismus-handelskrieg-vertagt-a-1156816.html Handelsregister vertagt.] In: Spiegel Online. 8 July 2017, retrieved 12 July 2017.

===Sustainable development===

There was no consensus with the USA regarding climate protection: a dissent with communalities in the deployment of renewable energy was formulated. The other 19 participants agreed to stick with the Paris agreement, to view it as irreversible and to swiftly put it into practice. After the summit finished, the Turkish president, Erdoğan said his country would not ratify the Paris agreement; Turkey was no industrialized nation but a developing country like other neighboring countries of the region and that François Hollande as then President had assured international assistance funds. President Macron has now invited members for further negotiations at another climate summit in Paris on 12 December.Christoph Seidler: [http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/g20-gipfel-in-hamburg-erdogan-trump-und-der-klimaschutz-a-1156839.html Von oben herab.] In: Spiegel Online. 8 July 2017, retrieved 12 July 2017.[http://www.zeit.de/politik/2017-07/g20-einigt-sich-auf-abschlusserklaerung-usa-beim-klimaschutz-isoliert G20-Teilnehmer einigen sich auf Abschlusserklärung.] In: Zeit Online. 8 July 2017, retrieved 12 July 2017. In spite of the United States' dissent, the German presidency wanted to make the most of the "renewed public policy interest for environmental sustainability, gender equity and social inclusiveness, in the spirit of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)" – notably by promoting renewable energy and further fossil fuel divestment in all nations.

The G20 final communique placed a new emphasis on the need for trade deals to be reciprocal and non-discriminatory towards developing countries, reducing the previous emphasis on the primacy of liberalization and the promotion of free market economics across the board."[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/08/donald-trump-paris-climate-agreement-g20-summit-us-theresa-may Trump Left in Cold over Paris Climate Agreement at End of G20 Summit]".

The World Bank Group and the White House, represented by First Daughter Ivanka Trump, confirmed they would soon roll out a new fund that aims to help female entrepreneurs access capital, financing and managerial support in the developing world. World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim said the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative fund had so far raised $325 million from various governments, and that he hoped to leverage that into a multibillion-dollar investment framework."[https://nypost.com/2017/07/08/ivanka-trump-world-bank-launch-fund-for-female-entrepreneurs/ Ivanka Trump, World Bank Launch Fund for Female Entrepreneurs]". The New York Post. 8 July 2017.

===Refugee crisis and migration===

{{See also|European migrant crisis}}International migration effectively entered the G20 agenda only in 2015 when the final leader's declaration[https://www.g20.org/Content/DE/_Anlagen/G7_G20/2015-g20-abschlusserklaerung-eng.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=1 G20 Leaders’ Communiqué — Antalya Summit] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170904154036/https://www.g20.org/Content/DE/_Anlagen/G7_G20/2015-g20-abschlusserklaerung-eng.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=1 |date=4 September 2017 }}, 15–16 November 2015.

===Counter-terrorism and national security===

All agreed to continue regulating financial markets and to combat financing terrorism and tax evasion. Trade was intensely discussed and participants agreed to keep markets open and combat protectionism and unfair trade practises. The USA took a special stand as Trump supports protectionism. Participants agreed to a G20-Africa-Partnership and passed a special paper about the relationships to the African nations. In a joint statement, G20 leaders vowed to take steps to prevent the internet from being used to spread propaganda. Modi indirectly targeted Pakistan (which is not a member of G20) by naming terrorist organisations that operate from its soil and saying that the groups all share the same ideology and purpose – of spreading hate and killing people. Indonesian President Joko Widodo urged member states to unite to fight against terrorism and emphasized on preventive as well as de-radicalization programs.{{Cite news|url=https://en.tempo.co/read/news/2017/07/08/055889809/Jokowi-Discusses-Counterterrorism-in-G20-Summit|title=Jokowi Discusses Counterterrorism in G20 Summit|newspaper=Tempo|access-date=2017-07-09}}
