US Pushes Energy Dominance at G20 Houston Meeting, Sidesteps Iran War
The United States used the G20 energy ministers' meeting in Houston to promote its energy dominance while brushing past the consequences of Washington's war in Iran and environmental concerns, according to Al-Monitor.
The gathering brought together ministers from the largest economies, including China, India, Japan and Germany, alongside major oil producers such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Canada. Statements on the war in the Middle East were rare, Al-Monitor reported.
US officials repeatedly pushed the meeting's slogan, "Unleash the full potential of American energy," from the moment the gathering opened in Texas, according to Al-Monitor. Trump administration officials presented domestic production as the answer, the outlet reported.
