United States Hosts First G20 Sherpa Meeting

From December 15-16, the United States convened a successful G20 Sherpa meeting in Washington, attended by representatives from the African Union, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, European Union, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and the United Kingdom. Poland also attended as the only full guest participant of the U.S. host year.

On December 1, the United States assumed the G20 2026 Presidency, which coincides with America’s 250th birthday. Under President Trump’s leadership, the United States is committed to returning the G20 back to its core economic agenda and delivering real economic results. President Trump will host the G20 Leaders’ Summit from December 14-15, 2026, at Trump National Doral Miami.

At the first event of the U.S. G20 presidency, the United States reiterated its core thematic priorities: unleashing economic prosperity by limiting regulatory burdens, unlocking reliable and affordable energy options, and pioneering new innovative technologies. The United States launched working groups to develop concrete deliverables for each of these themes, and also launched an additional working group to identify areas of consensus on trade issues. The four working groups of the U.S. host year focus on key economic issues worthy of discussion by world leaders.
