G20-Treffen: Plötzlich sitzt der russische Finanzminister mit am Tisch: USA sorgen für Eklat bei G20-Treffen

Sudden presence of Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov at G20 meeting stirs controversy in Asheville, North Carolina. The city, known for its vibrant culture and breweries, is hosting a meeting of G20 finance ministers from the world's most advanced economies. However, the presence of Siluanov, who has been excluded since the start of the Ukraine war, raises concerns.

The US Department of the Treasury had invited him to attend, which sparked outrage from high-ranking G20 representatives who had protested vehemently against his inclusion.

The situation is further complicated by the US government's invitation to exclude South Africa from the G20 meeting, which has caused outrage in European delegations. The US administration's actions have been criticized for favoring its MAGA movement and promoting business deals over international cooperation. Journalist accreditation issues have also caused tensions, with the US denying entry to reporters from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg.

The financial health of the US is also a point of contention, with the country's debt levels reaching alarming heights. The US budget deficit is expected to surpass 7% of GDP, and the total debt has surpassed 40 trillion dollars. This high level of debt has raised concerns among investors about the potential implications of the country's economic policies. The US is reportedly planning to pursue a tough economic stance against Iran during the G20 meeting, with Bessent discussing "Operation Economic Outcast".
