US Cancels G20 Group Photo Amid European Objections to Lavrov

The United States canceled plans for a G20 group photograph of top diplomats in Atlanta following objections and threatened boycotts from European representatives.

European officials objected to being pictured alongside Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during the opening day of talks.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio decided to scrap the photo session to prevent the dispute from distracting from discussions on global security and trade.
