In a new Atlantic Council article, BWC Member Hung Tran discusses the outcomes of the 2025 G20 Summit and the potential for a strategic reset under next year’s G20 summit hosted in the US. Tran highlights the challenges faced during the South Africa summit, including the absence of key global leaders and disagreements over the agenda’s scope. He argues that the US presidency in 2026 offers an opportunity to return the forum to a back-to-basics approach, writing that an agenda of economic and financial stability could refocus the G20 and make it more relevant, while acknowledging that mutual trust must be rebuilt to make it as effective as it once was.
