To briefly summarize, the United States initially had a great conflict with the South African president and did not even want to meet him, so this time, the delegation did not even show up at all, even though the next chairman is the United States and it is held at Trump Golf Club in Florida.
(If this is the case, I think the South African president’s position will become quite uncomfortable and he will be discriminated against during the G20 in the US next year. Trump would be that kind of person.)
It can be said to be a fairly unreasonable decision.
However, they are pressuring us not to adopt the summit declaration without even coming to the meeting.
The reason for this is that South Africa, along with the African Union, is trying to adopt a statement in the summit declaration that holds developed countries accountable for environmental and climate issues.
Trump, who denies the climate crisis and does not like multilateralism, seems uncomfortable with the move to adopt such a summit declaration.
If there are countries that actively participate in the adoption of this declaration, wouldn’t they also be bombarded with tariffs?
I hope our government will just sneak a peek and stay out of the conflict.
Trump is such a great guy that he even tackled the meeting from afar without even attending.
Putin did not attend the multilateral meeting in the first place due to the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant and the impact of the war, so he sent another government official, and China also sent Prime Minister Li Chang instead, as there was no significant political benefit to be gained by going in person this time.
Since there are no three major powers in the G20, this is considered a lackluster summit.
