US Scraps G20 Photo Amid Diplomatic Rifts is one event reported by 36 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with.

36 that we know of, every one of them listed further up this page with a link to its own report and to what we hold on the publisher. Nothing here is a summary of somebody else's summary: the outlets are named so the original reporting can be read.

Why was the G20 group photo cancelled?

The United States cancelled the planned group photo at the G20 foreign ministers meeting in Atlanta because several European diplomats objected to being photographed with Russia's top diplomat, Sergey Lavrov. These objections led to threats of a walkout, prompting the cancellation to avoid distraction.

What are the main issues being discussed at the G20 meeting?

The G20 foreign ministers meeting is taking place amid deep rifts over multiple wars and global crises. Key issues include the Russia-Ukraine conflict, potential U.S. military intervention in Iran, trade disputes, and freedom of navigation in critical waterways like the Strait of Hormuz and the South China Sea.

Did Russia face any issues attending the meeting?

Yes, Russia's foreign ministry complained about difficulties in securing visas for its delegation. These visa issues were only resolved at the last minute, leading to speculation that not all parties in Washington were keen on Russia's attendance.
