As the Group of 20 talks commence this week, the influence of former President Donald Trump is already causing ripples behind the scenes. Argentine President Javier Milei, a top global ally of Trump, recently threatened to block a joint leaders' statement at the summit, signaling a shift in diplomatic dynamics.
Milei's resistance to the final communiqué, particularly regarding taxation on the ultra-rich and gender issues, raised eyebrows among diplomats. This move was seen as an attempt to align with the incoming administration, following Milei's recent face-to-face meeting with Trump, making him the first world leader to do so since the election.
