US Embassy warns of mass casualty threat at Moscow museum

Share via…Atlanta | Top diplomats from the Group of 20 largest world economies are wrapping up two days of talks Saturday (Sunday AEDT) without reaching consensus on several critical global security issues after divisions, notably over Russia’s war with Ukraine.

As a result, the group did not release a joint communiqué but relied on a chairman’s statement summarising the talks that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio released after the meetings closed.

That statement made no mention of any agreements reached. Rather, it referred to a list of priorities, from energy and food security to freedom of navigation, that G20 members determined were important to solve.

“I wouldn’t pretend to you today that we are close to finding universally accepted solutions to these problems,” Rubio told reporters at a news conference marking the end of the meetings.
