The G20's role in fixing economic crises is threatened by geopolitical fractures, leaders warned Saturday at a summit in South Africa boycotted by the United States.
European leaders attending the G20 summit -- the first held in Africa -- huddled on its sidelines to push back at a unilateral plan by U.S. President Donald Trump aimed at ending the war in Ukraine on terms favouring Russia.
In a joint statement issued with Canada and Japan, they said Mr. Trump's plan needs “additional work” and some of its points required “the consent of EU and NATO members”.
Speaking at the opening of the summit, one of the statement's signatories, French President Emmanuel Macron said: “We are struggling to resolve major crises together around this table.”
He warned that, given fissures in international cooperation, “the G20 may be coming to the end of a cycle”.

South Africa, hosting the G20 summit, announced strong consensus on a leaders' declaration despite the United States boycotting the talks. The draft, prepared without U.S. input, includes references to climate change, green energy transition, and debt relief for developing countries. While the U.S. opposed mentioning climate issues, other members backed South Africa's agenda. Analysts suggest the boycott may actually strengthen cooperation among remaining nations.
In a strong message, the G-20 on Saturday (November 22, 2025) said that all States must refrain from the threat or use of force to seek territorial acquisition against the territorial integrity and sovereignty or political independence of any State.
A Declaration, adopted with consensus by the heads of State attending the G20 Leaders' Summit despite U.S. attempts to stop it, also said that States should develop friendly relations among nations, including by promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion.

The White House on Saturday (November 22, 2025) said South Africa was refusing to facilitate a smooth transition of its presidency of the Group of 20 major economies to the U.S., after the G20 issued a declaration on climate change over U.S. objections.
White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said South African President Cyril Ramaphosa had pushed to issue a G20 leaders' declaration addressing the climate crisis and other global challenges “despite consistent and robust U.S. objections.”
White House criticizes South Africa for undermining G20 principles amid climate declaration tensions with the U.S.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will not hand the next presidency of the G20 to a U.S. embassy representative after U.S. President Donald Trump refused to attend this weekend's summit, the South African government said Saturday (November 22, 2025).
The Trump administration has boycotted the Johannesburg meeting that wraps up on Sunday and said it would send the chargé d'affaires of its U.S. embassy in South Africa for the handover, with Washington assuming the 2026 presidency of the group of leading economies.
Mr. Ramaphosa “will not be handing over to the charge d'affaires from the U.S.,” Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola told journalists. “The United States is a member of the G20, and if they want to be represented, they can still send anyone at the right level,” he said.
South Africa's President Ramaphosa rejects handing G20 presidency to a U.S. embassy official amid Trump's absence from the summit.
