US EditionG20 grapples with splintering world order
G20 leaders from 19 nations plus the EU and African Union upheld multilateralism amid rising global conflicts and US absence, with a joint statement addressing economic and climate challenges.
- On Sunday, G20 leaders gathered in South Africa for the final day, opening a searching discussion on how the G20 can survive amid fragmentation while the United States government boycotted the summit.
- Rising unilateral policies and trade volatility have increased as the United States government retreats from multilateral forums, worsening divisions over the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts.
- Despite Washington's objection, a leaders' declaration was issued and Oxfam praised South Africa, while William Gumede said invited non-G20 African countries helped neutralise the U.S. absence.
- The summit threw a lifeline to multilateralism, breathing new life into collective action, while French President Emmanuel Macron warned the G20 may be ending a cycle and urged focus on strategic economic issues amid difficulties over armed conflicts.
- That partly reflected a U.S. intention to limit G20 discussions to macroeconomic topics when it hosts next year, with U.S. President Donald Trump planning to hold the summit at a Florida golf club he owns.
