  "account": "Manchester, the UK capital, is set to host the G20 summit in November 2027, a significant event for the city and the world. Former Manchester mayor Andy Burnham expressed his excitement about welcoming US President Donald Trump to the city. The G20 summit, an annual gathering of the world's largest economies, will be held at the Manchester Central Convention Centre. With the city's previous inexperience in hosting such a large event, the preparations are expected to be a massive undertaking, involving hundreds of local people. Burnham's predecessor, who had previously turned down Trump's visit, had suggested that the president was \"the mayor of a town\". However, Burnham reassured the president, stating that Manchester is not a small town. The G20 summit, which promotes financial stability and cooperation, has been hosted in the UK before, in London in 2009. The UK will take over the presidency of the G20 next year, with the US currently holding the position. The summit represents about two-thirds of the world's population and more than 85% of the world's wealth.",
