G20 foreign ministers in Atlanta meeting head to an ending without consensus on key issues
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio is chairing the G20 meeting in Atlanta on Friday and Saturday, laying groundwork for December's leaders' summit at President Donald Trump's Miami golf club.
- Rubio cancelled the group photograph on Thursday after European diplomats refused to be pictured alongside Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, with some threatening to leave rather than participate.
- Participants remain divided on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, US tariffs, the US-Israeli war on Iran, and Chinese actions in the South China Sea, limiting consensus prospects.
- US officials alerted regional allies to prepare for possible renewed military strikes on Iran after Tuesday's midterm elections, heightening tensions in West Asia and the Strait of Hormuz.
- Elaine Dezenski, head of the Center on Economic and Financial Power, described the gathering as "less of a meeting and more of a test" of U.S. cooperation capacity.
