Summary

The G20 foreign ministers’ meeting in South Africa focuses on Gaza, Ukraine, and global economic reform, but is overshadowed by geopolitical tensions.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is boycotting the event, citing South Africa’s land restitution law and its legal action against Israel as “anti-American.”

The absence of the U.S. signals a shift in global influence, potentially benefiting China.

Meanwhile, U.S.-Europe relations are strained by Trump’s foreign policy shifts, further complicating international cooperation on key global issues.
