G20 Summit Boycotted by US Concludes in South Africa
The G20 summit in South Africa has wrapped up, emphasizing multilateral cooperation despite a US boycott. This landmark meeting highlighted pressing issues like climate change and economic inequality. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa noted that shared objectives prevailed over differences.
US President Trump skipped the summit, citing unsubstantiated concerns about South Africa’s white minority. This summit marked the first G20 meeting on African soil, as Indonesia, India, and Brazil led in the previous years. Looking ahead, the US is set to host the G20 in 2026 at Trump’s Florida golf course.
