US Boycotts G20 Summit in South Africa

The G20 summit in South Africa concluded with a joint declaration emphasizing “multilateral cooperation,” focusing on climate change and economic inequality, despite the US boycott led by President Trump over discredited claims regarding South Africa. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa noted the agreement reflected shared goals among nations, while Brazilian President Lula da Silva asserted that multilateralism remains strong. Delegates also reached consensus on pursuing peace in conflict regions, including Sudan, marking significant attention to its ongoing crisis. The US is set to host the next summit in 2026 at Trump’s Florida golf course.
