Why the G20 Summit Was A Setback for Donald Trump | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Donald Trump skipped the G20 Summit in South Africa, yet tried to assert his influence from the sidelines. He failed. The summit, led by President Cyril Ramaphosa, adopted a joint declaration on day one—despite U.S. and Argentine opposition. South Africa refused to let a junior U.S. diplomat accept the G20 gavel, a snub that underscored Trump’s isolation. Meanwhile, India, Brazil, and South Africa revived the IBSA forum, responding to Trump's aggressive trade moves. Trump’s playbook—pressure, disruption, and absence—was met with unity, resolve, and progress. --- G20 Summit | Donald Trump | South Africa | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #g20summit #donaldtrump #southafrica #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
