washington - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio decides not to attend G20 summit in South Africa, citing national interests.
US Secretary of State's Decision
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has chosen not to attend the G20 summit in South Africa, emphasizing the promotion of American national interests. Rubio's stance against diversity, equality, and inclusion, which has been criticized by President Trump, has stirred controversy. His decision reflects a commitment to avoiding the wasteful expenditure of taxpayer money and not nurturing anti-American sentiments. The G20 meeting in Johannesburg, hosted by South Africa, will notably miss the presence of the United States, the world's largest economy, dealing a significant blow to the representation of the world's major economies.
