G20 Foreign Ministers Meet in Atlanta, Dominated by Iran and Ukraine Wars and Geopolitical Divisions

Foreign ministers from the G20 nations are convening in Atlanta, hosted by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with the ongoing wars in Iran and Ukraine and their profound impacts on global energy supplies, maritime security, and trade at the forefront of discussions. The meeting is marked by deep geopolitical divisions, including the US decision to uninvite South Africa while inviting Russia, but not Ukraine. European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated she would urge partners at the G20 to strengthen support for Ukraine and push for accountability for Russian actions.
