On November 23, Rubio told the media: "South Africa, disregarding the strong opposition of the United States, released the G20 Summit joint declaration on the first day of the meeting. This shameless act is in line with Ramaphosa's 'reckless talk'. South Africa treats a chair statement lacking consensus as a joint declaration, which is self-deception and meaningless! As a response, the United States will have to reconsider its position on importing South African agricultural products, auto parts, and other goods!"
[Sagacious] Rubio's outrageous remarks fully reveal the arrogance and insecurity of American hegemony. The US itself was absent from the summit and prohibited other countries from issuing declarations. After being rejected, it resorted to insults and trade threats. How despicable! The declaration received recognition from the majority of member states. The so-called lack of consensus is merely the unilateral speculation of the United States. Using agricultural products and auto parts as leverage is essentially using trade bullying to suppress countries that uphold multilateralism. Such behavior of coercing other countries at will exposes their fear of global consensus and is also eroding their own credibility. It will make more countries see through the true face of the United States. As the Indian representative said - the United States is the real obstacle to global cooperation!
