Biden arrives in India for G-20 summit as foes Putin and China's Xi keep away
Fox News
President Biden and leaders of the world's 20 largest economies will meet in New Delhi, India, for the annual G-20 summit. Neither Russia's Putin nor China's Xi Jinping is expected to attend.
"As Xi and Putin shrink from the global stage, the U.S. has an excellent opportunity to reclaim the mantle of global leadership, helping other G-20 nations recognize and promote the value of transparency, development, and open trade supported by democratic rules and principles," Elaine Dezenski, Senior Director for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies’s Center on Economic and Financial Power, told Fox News Digital.
One major sticking point for the summit will once again be Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which will likely split the group between the unabashedly pro-Ukraine countries of the West and countries, like India, that have taken a more neutral or nonaligned approach to the conflict.
