Brazil hosts G20 with wars and Trump's return in the background and focus on fighting poverty
Monday, 18 November 2024 () Brazil is hosting the Group of 20 summit and it appears unlikely the industrialized and emerging-market nations in attendance will sign a meaningful declaration regarding geopolitics. The meeting in Rio de Janeiro on Monday and Tuesday comes amid two major wars and around two weeks after Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential election victory. Heightened global tensions and uncertainty about an incoming Trump administration have tempered any expectations for a strongly worded statement addressing the wars in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine. Experts instead anticipate a final document focused on social issues like the eradication of poverty. That is one of Brazil’s priorities.
