G20 summit in South Africa adopts declaration despite US snub

Leaders at the G20 summit in Johannesburg have made history by adopting a declaration at the outset, a significant achievement for South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa. This marks the first G20 summit on African soil, with South Africa prioritising issues affecting poorer nations, including climate change, debt reduction, and global solidarity. President Ramaphosa described the consensus among leaders as ‘overwhelming,’ despite reported objections from the United States and Argentina over elements of the declaration, including references to conflicts like Gaza. US President Donald Trump boycotted the summit, citing concerns over South Africa’s alleged treatment of white farmers. His absence disrupted the traditional handover of the presidency, with South Africa passing the baton to the United States in writing. South African officials called the summit a success despite this diplomatic rift, highlighting the event as a crucial moment for Africa on the global stage.
