The US is notably absent from the G-20 finance meeting in South Africa, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's absence following a recent boycott by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. This move raises concerns about the country's stance on global economic cooperation and diplomacy, particularly in the face of rising global tensions and economic uncertainty. As the world's leading economies convene to discuss pressing issues, the US absence may impact international relations and global economic stability, sparking debates about economic cooperation and geopolitical alliances.
