G20 Summit in South Africa Concludes Amid US Boycott
The G20 summit in Johannesburg concluded with a Leaders’ Declaration emphasizing multilateral cooperation, despite a boycott by the United States. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa highlighted the declaration's focus on climate action, debt relief, and global inequality. The 122-point document received broad support from other member nations, including China and Russia, but faced opposition from the US and Argentina. The summit marked the first G20 meeting held in Africa and aimed to address critical issues affecting poorer countries. The US will assume the G20 presidency in 2026, amid ongoing diplomatic tensions following its absence from the summit.
