Top diplomats from the Group of 20 largest world economies have wrapped up two days of talks in Atlanta but there's no consensus on several critical issues. Divisions, most notably over Russia’s war with Ukraine, overshadowed the start of the meeting and affected its outcome, too. As a result, the group didn't release a joint communique Saturday but relied on a chairman’s statement summarizing the talks that Secretary of State Marco Rubio released after the meetings closed. The statement made no mention of any agreements reached. It referred to priorities, from energy and food security to freedom of navigation, that G20 members determined were important to solve.
