G20 Foreign Ministers Meet in Atlanta Amid Divisions Over Russia, Iran, and Trade
The G20 Foreign Ministers' meeting in Atlanta on October 30-31, 2026, chaired by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, focused on global crises including the Russia-Ukraine war, tensions with Iran, trade disputes, and energy security. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's attendance sparked controversy, leading to the cancellation of the traditional group photo after European ministers objected. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar participated, engaging in bilateral talks and a QUAD meeting. Despite efforts, deep divisions among members limited prospects for consensus ahead of the December G20 leaders' summit in Miami.
