Episode notes
Conspiracy Claims Led To Diplomatic Isolation
- Trump boycotted the G20 citing conspiracies about South Africa, which leaders like Ramaphosa publicly rejected and mocked.
- Brett Meiselas and Jordy Meiselas view this as symptomatic of Trump's domestic and international isolation.
G20 Showed U.S. Weakness On The World Stage
- The G20 proceeded without the U.S. and world leaders used the absence to reinforce multilateralism and mock American leadership under Trump.
- Ben Meiselas argues this exposed a broader diplomatic weakening and global rebalancing toward China and other powers.
Leaders Preempted The Summit To Signal Unity
- The G20 declaration was read early to signal unity without the U.S., emphasizing cooperation on climate and development.
- The hosts interpret this as a deliberate rebuke of Trump's unilateralism and erratic diplomacy.
