G20 leaders address climate funding and global tensions in Rio summit
G20 leaders concluded their summit in Rio de Janeiro, addressing climate change and global conflicts. They acknowledged that developing countries need "trillions" of dollars for climate support, but did not resolve funding disputes during the ongoing COP29 talks in Azerbaijan. The summit highlighted concerns over Donald Trump's return to the U.S. presidency, overshadowing President Joe Biden's presence. Leaders expressed worries about global instability, with Chinese President Xi Jinping warning of a new period of "turbulence." In a separate development, Brazilian police arrested four soldiers linked to a past assassination plot against President Lula da Silva. The arrests occurred during the G20 security operation, adding to the summit's tense atmosphere.
