G20 ministers meet in US divided over Ukraine, Iran wars

G20 ministers meet in US divided over Ukraine, Iran wars

Marco Rubio hosts his counterparts, including Russia's Lavrov, with few breakthroughs expected; External Affairs Minister Jaishankar is attending.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is hosting G20 foreign ministers in Atlanta on October 30–31, ahead of a December leaders' summit in Miami.

Wars in Ukraine and Iran, and soaring energy prices, are expected to divide the meeting; a US-drafted chair's summary is likely instead of a joint statement.

Russia's Sergei Lavrov is attending, weeks after President Trump announced a deal for Russian diesel supplies.
