The declaration, which uses language DC opposes, "can't be renegotiated," South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's spox told reporters, reflecting strains between Pretoria, #G20 nations & the #Trump admin over the event."We had the entire year of working towards this adoption & the past week has been quite intense," the spox said.#Ramaphosa, host of this weekend's gathering of G20 leaders, had earlier said there was "overwhelming consensus" for a summit declaration.#geopolitics #Climate

…The declaration used the kind of language long disliked by the #Trump admin: stressing the seriousness of #ClimateChange & the need to better adapt to it, praising ambitious targets to boost #RenewableEnergy & noting the punishing levels of #DebtService suffered by #poor countries.The mention of #climate change was a snub to #Trump, who refuses to accept the scientific consensus that #GlobalWarming is caused by human activities.#G20 #geopolitics

#US ofcls had indicated they would oppose any reference to it in the declaration.In opening remarks to the summit, #Ramaphosa said: "There's been overwhelming consensus & agreement that one of the other tasks we should undertake right at the beginning is to...adopt our declaration.""We should not allow anything to diminish the value, the stature & the impact of the first African #G20 presidency," he said.#geopolitics #Climate #ClimateChange

His bold tone was a striking contrast to his subdued decorum during his visit to the White House in August, in which he endured #Trump repeating a #false claim that there was a genocide of white farmers in South Africa, brushing aside #Ramaphosa's efforts to correct his #facts.Trump said US ofcls would not attend the summit because of allegations, widely #discredited, that the host country's Black majority government persecutes its white minority.#G20 #geopolitics #Climate #ClimateChange

#Trump has also rejected the host nation's agenda of promoting solidarity & helping #DevelopingNations adapt to #weather #disasters, transition to #CleanEnergy & cut their excessive #debt costs."The multilateral platform cannot be paralysed on the basis of the absence of someone who was invited," South African Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola told public broadcaster SABC.#G20 #geopolitics #Climate #ClimateChange #InternationalAid #HumanitarianAid #SoftPower

"This #G20 is not about the #US. It's about all the 21 members of the G20. We are all equal members of the G20. What it means is that we need to take a decision. Those of us who are here have decided this is where the world must go."#geopolitics #Climate #ClimateChange #InternationalAid #HumanitarianAid #SoftPower

But in a sign of the many geopolitical fissures underlying the agreed text, #EU Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen warned in a speech about the "the weaponization of dependencies" which she said "only creates losers".This was an apparent veiled reference to #China's #export curbs on #RareEarths vital for the world's #energy transition, as well as #defense & digital #technology.#G20 #geopolitics #Climate #ClimateChange #GlobalEconomy #trade

The #US will host the #G20 in 2026 & #Ramaphosa said he would have to hand over the rotating presidency to an "empty chair".The South African presidency on Saturday reiterated its rejection of a US offer to send the US charge d'affaires for the G20 handover."The president will not hand over to a junior embassy official the presidency of the G20. It's a breach of protocol that is not going to be accommodated," presidency spox Vincent Magwenya said.#G20 #geopolitics #Climate #GlobalEconomy

@mastodonmigration Obama & Biden regained some of the US’ influence on the world stage, but Trump tanked all their gains times a thousand.
