G20 diplomats, including from China and Russia, face deep rifts as they prepare to meet in Atlanta
Rubio will press G20 members to cooperate on security and trade as divisions over Ukraine, Iran and China threaten consensus.
- On Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio began chairing a G20 gathering in Atlanta where top diplomats from the world's 20 largest economies convened to address global security and trade crises.
- Deep rifts over the Russia-Ukraine conflict, U.S. tariffs, and Chinese maritime actions threaten international cooperation, leaving little chance for consensus among participants on major geopolitical issues.
- Despite Western unease, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is attending, while Elaine Dezenski of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies called the event a 'test' of whether the U.S. can foster meaningful cooperation without consensus.
- Ian Kelly, a former U.S. ambassador to Georgia, noted that inviting Lavrov creates domestic political problems for President Donald Trump ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections, as some Republican lawmakers criticize Trump's approach to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
- Officials excluded Ukraine and South Africa from this year's invite list, while the State Department said Rubio aims to 'advance practical cooperation on shared economic and security challenges' despite widening global disagreements.
