The U.S. will host the G20 Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Atlanta on October 30-31, with discussions expected to focus on global economic challenges, resilient supply chains and strengthening international cooperation.

The meeting, to be chaired by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, will bring together foreign ministers from the world’s leading economies to advance the G20’s core mission of promoting global stability and prosperity, the State Department said on Monday (May 18, 2026).

“Discussions will focus on strengthening international cooperation, addressing global economic challenges, and supporting open markets and resilient supply chains,” spokesperson Tommy Pigott said in a statement.

Atlanta,  the capital of Georgia, as a centre of diplomacy, business, and global connectivity, provides an ideal setting for these critical discussions, he said.

President Donald Trump will host the G20 Leaders’ Summit from December 14-15, at Trump National Doral in Miami, Florida, as the United States marks its 250th anniversary. 

The G20 includes major economies such as the United States, India, China, Russia, Japan, Germany, France, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Australia and the European Union.

Together, the grouping represents around 85% of global GDP and nearly two-thirds of the world’s population.
