Reports indicate little likelihood of consensus on contentious issues such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the U.S.-Iran war, U.S. tariffs, and Chinese actions in the South China Sea. These disputes have contributed to rising global fuel costs and trade uncertainty. U.S. officials stated their priority is resolving differences concerning freedom of navigation in key waterways, including the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, the Black Sea, and the South China Sea. Discussions are expected to cover Iran, Russia-Ukraine, and China's relations with its neighbours. The prospect of new U.S. military intervention in Iran has also created unease among G20 members and regional allies."},{"type":"heading","text":"Russia's participation and visa issues"},{"type":"paragraph","text":"Russia's foreign ministry reported difficulties in securing visas for its delegation, which were only resolved at the last minute.
