At the UN Climate Summit, most countries committed to accelerating efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, while the US notably stayed away, highlighting its isolation on climate policy amid global efforts.
President Trump, during his UN address, faces increasing international isolation over US support for Israel in Gaza, with many countries recognizing a Palestinian state and criticizing US policies, including visa bans on Palestinian leaders and opposition to a two-state solution, while the US remains steadfast in its support for Israel and opposes diplomatic efforts for Palestinian statehood.
At the G-20 meeting, the U.S. faced criticism for opposing an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, leading to its isolation on the issue. Diplomats from various countries, including Australia and South Africa, expressed concern over the humanitarian crisis and urged for a cease-fire. The U.S. remained focused on other G-20 goals despite the differences over Gaza, and Secretary of State Blinken had a frank exchange with Brazil's president regarding comments comparing the Gaza conflict to the Holocaust.
