US urges G20 to cooperate in the face of the "critical moment" the world is going through

The U.S. Secretary of State urged G20 nations to cooperate during a critical global moment marked by economic and geopolitical crises. Marco Rubio emphasized the need for collective action to address threats to the global economic order, particularly regarding freedom of navigation and food supply. The G20 meeting in Atlanta, which includes Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, is significant as it prepares for the upcoming G20 leaders' summit in Miami. European representatives expressed reluctance to engage with Lavrov due to the Ukraine conflict, highlighting the ongoing tensions. Discussions will focus on energy challenges and supply chains amid rising Middle Eastern tensions.
