The article discusses the declining influence and relevance of the G-20 (Group of Twenty) in the Trump era. It highlights how the group's unity has been shattered, with the U.S. president, Donald Trump, boycotting the recent summit in South Africa. This move has raised concerns about the group's ability to address global economic challenges effectively. The article notes that the G-20's founding purpose was to coordinate international efforts in response to the 2008 financial crisis. However, the Trump administration's "America First" policy and its skepticism towards multilateral institutions have undermined the group's cohesion. The withdrawal of the U.S., a key member, has left the G-20 as a "husk" of its former self, with its future uncertain. The article suggests that the G-20's decline reflects the broader trend of rising nationalism and the weakening of international cooperation, which could have significant implications for the global economy and governance.
