G20 backs final statement despite Russia tensions, China dissent
The G20 finance ministers' meeting in Asheville placed the Ukraine war alongside tariffs, trade imbalances and the conflict in the Middle East. France 24 reports that ministers broadly backed a final statement despite tensions over Russia's participation. The dispute with China is equally significant: it shows how the Ukraine conflict is now embedded in a wider struggle over global economic rules, trade policy and the distribution of geopolitical power.
