The United States assumed the presidency of the Group of Twenty (G20) this Monday, with a commitment to return the forum to its original focus on economic growth and prosperity, as reported by the State Department in an official statement.
"President Trump will lead a phase in which the G20 will return to its central mission of promoting economic growth and prosperity to achieve concrete results," notes the statement released by U.S. diplomacy.
The document outlines three priorities for the period that Washington will lead: unlocking economic prosperity by reducing regulatory burdens, strengthening secure and affordable energy supply chains, and promoting new technologies and innovations that enhance global productivity.
The White House emphasized that this presidency will mark a phase of reforms aimed at achieving tangible results, in contrast to the lack of consensus that characterized previous years in the bloc.
