Macron and Abe meet amid Renault-Nissan alliance row

French president Emmanuel Macron will discuss the Renault-Nissan alliance’s future with Japan’s prime minister at the G20 summit in Argentina, seeking to defuse a brewing diplomatic row over the balance of power inside the partnership.

The car alliance is facing the biggest test of its 19-year existence after the ousting of Nissan Motor chairman Carlos Ghosn, who was arrested last week for suspected financial misconduct.
