Welcome to this special World Briefing Plus dispatch from the G20 Summit in South Africa. Normally, our Saturday videos are exclusive to paid subscribers — but given the extraordinary stakes here in Johannesburg, I’m opening this one to everyone. What’s unfolding at this summit could shape the global order for years: Trump’s Russia-tilted “peace plan” for Ukraine, South Africa’s defiance toward Washington, and world leaders scrambling to navigate a diplomacy-by-tantrum White House.
If you find value in this kind of on-the-ground, independent reporting and commentary, I hope you’ll consider upgrading to a paid subscription. Your support makes this work possible — especially at moments like this.
