G-20 Summit Demonstrates Global Progress Without U.S. Involvement
Mark Carney, Canada's Prime Minister, declared the G-20 summit a testament to global cooperation independent of U.S. participation. "The world can make progress without the United States," Carney asserted, highlighting the consensus achieved among leaders representing 75% of the world's population, 66% of global GDP, and 75% of global trade—despite the TRUMP administration's boycott.
South Africa, this year's host, defied U.S. objections by issuing an official declaration. The WHITE House had dismissed the summit's legitimacy, insisting on a mere chairman's summary due to its absence. Carney framed the event as a strategic pivot toward diversified trade ties, citing engagements with India, China, and South Africa as steps to reduce reliance on Washington.
