South Africa Hosts G20 Foreign Ministers Meeting; Rubio Skips, Citing Anti-American Policies | LIVE
Foreign ministers from the G20’s leading economies gathered in South Africa amid ongoing tensions over the Ukraine war, trade disputes, and a notable absence of the top U.S. diplomat due to a conflict with the hosts. Representing around 85% of global GDP and three-quarters of global trade, the G20 nations frequently face disagreements, but the geopolitical divisions since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine have made the group more divided than ever. This discord has intensified following President Donald Trump’s arrival a month ago, bringing swift changes to U.S. trade and foreign policies. As the current rotating president of the G20, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa used the first G20 meeting held in Africa to call on wealthy nations to address concerns of poorer countries, including rising inequality, insufficient action on climate change, and a financial system that favors investment banks over struggling sovereign debtors.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will skip a two-day meeting of foreign ministers from the leading rich and developing nations that starts on Thursday after criticizing host South Africa’s policies as anti-American
