(AFP)

The United States on Thursday announced plans for what it calls a “New G20” as it prepares to host the 2026 G20 Leaders’ Summit. It welcomed Poland as a new member while explicitly excluding South Africa, which US Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused of prioritising “spite, division, and radical agendas” during its current presidency.

In a blog post authored by Rubio, titled ‘America Welcomes a New G20’, the Secretary of State stated that the US hosting the G20 Leaders’ Summit, set for December 2026 in Miami, Florida, will also mark America’s 250th anniversary. The US will host the G20 summit for the first time since 2009.
