US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will not attend the upcoming G-20 finance ministers meeting in South Africa, as he prioritizes domestic issues early in his tenure. This decision follows Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recent absence at a G-20 foreign ministers meeting due to concerns about South Africa's policies. Bessent's choice may be perceived as a disengagement from multilateral forums by the Trump administration, although he remains in contact with global counterparts and will send a senior official in his place.
