G20 threatened by geopolitical fractures, leaders warn

The G20's role in fixing economic crises is threatened by geopolitical fractures and competition, 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 also scrambled on the sidelines to respond to a unilateral plan pushed by US President Donald Trump to end the war in Ukraine on terms favouring Russia.
