U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is hosting a meeting of G20 foreign ministers in Atlanta, in the United States. The G20 is a group of the world's largest economies, and the foreign ministers' meeting gives their top diplomats a chance to discuss shared international issues.
The agenda centers on economic and security challenges. These are areas where the interests of individual countries often diverge.
According to NPR, Rubio is finding it difficult to bring the participating officials onto the same page. The source does not detail which issues divide them or which countries hold which positions.
The source also gives no information on the outcome of the talks, any decisions taken or any joint statement. All that is known so far is that the meeting is taking place and that differing positions are complicating it.
