When the G20 summit was held in India, one of its achievements was the recognition of the emerging power of African countries, and the G20’s wealthiest nations assured them of full recognition. This year, the G20 summit was held in Johannesburg, South Africa. The US and Mr. Trump chose not to participate. Chinese President Xi Jinping also did not attend. Later, the US sent an official to attend, but South Africa did not approve of this move.
Therefore, when the summit concluded, the announcement to hold the 2026 summit in the US was not The organizers stated that the US did not send a proper representative to the summit, and therefore, the announcement was postponed due to a lack of representation.ation. The Group of 20 did not award the US the presidency for the next G20 summit. The US wants to hold the summit next year at the golf course where Trump plays golf.
The fundamental reason why the United States did not participate in this conference is that neither the United States nor other wealthy countries are willing to accept their responsibility for combating the massive climate crisis caused by environmental pollution, nor are they willing to allocate adequate funds from their coffers. India has also clearly stated that wealthy countries are as much to blame for the failure to control environmental pollution as emerging third-world countries. However, wealthy countries no longer want to take responsibility for their failures and are shifting the burden of combating environmental pollution onto countries like India. Scientists around the world had deliberated for a year on how to address environmental pollution and formulated a strategy.
Neither at this conference nor at the Brazilian conference did the United States or wealthy countries take responsibility for adequately funding it. It was believed that by raising the voices of India and emerging third-world countries at the G20 summit, the rich countries and the United States would recognize their responsibility to contribute appropriately to this fight. However, Trump did not attend the summit because he did not want to change his stance of refusing to contribute.
If the United States and its fellow rich countries do not recognize the ground reality, the G20’s relevance could be jeopardized. However, whether it was the G20 summit or the IBSA (India, Brazil, South Africa) leaders’ summit held in Brazil alongside it, India raised a strong voice, and France also came forward to support it. It was reported that three of the five veto powers had agreed to allow India to become a member of the Security Council, and perhaps, like the other five, it would also receive veto power. China remained silent on this issue, neither saying yes nor no. It did state that the fundamentals of the United Nations must be transformed. This is not an option but an imperative. When the UN inevitably changes, India will surely join the Security Council as the sixth member with veto pIf this happens, it will be a huge achievement, and it will not take long for India to expose global terrorism.orism.
