G20 Summit in Rio: Focus on Global Hunger and Wealth Taxation Amid Geopolitical Tensions
Starting today, G20 leaders gather in Rio to address pressing issues such as global hunger, spearheaded by Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. While Lula aims to form a ‘Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty’, geopolitical conflicts are likely to overshadow discussions. Key topics include a potential wealth tax for the super-rich, climate change initiatives, and the impact of Donald Trump’s looming presidency on U.S. foreign policy. Notably, Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the summit, sending Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov instead.
