The G20 Leaders' Summit took place in Johannesburg with South Africa hosting under its rotating presidency. The event faced a significant boycott led by Donald Trump, with the USA abstaining from official participation due to disputes over South Africa's treatment of its white Afrikaner minority. Despite absences including Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, critical global economic and environmental topics advanced, and the summit was marked by Africa's elevated role in economic governance and solidarity.
