Ukraine not a ‘wedge issue’ between West and Global South at G-20, says Biden

The Hindu  

U.S. President Joe Biden on Sunday attributed the absence of criticism of Russia for its invasion on Ukraine to gaps in positions between Russia, China and the G-20. Specifically, Mr. Biden said the Russia-Ukraine war was not a “wedge issue” between the Global South and the U.S. or the West. “It’s not a wedge issue with the Global South, it’s a wedge issue with Russia which is present and with China, which is present…,” Mr. Biden said. Thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his hospitality in New Delhi, Mr. Biden said that he had held substantial discussions with the Prime Minister on continuing to strengthen the India-U.S. relationship, building on the Prime Minister’s June state visit to Washington DC. The U.S. press had repeatedly questioned White House officials on Mr. Biden’s flight to India as well as on a briefing call during the New Delhi visit, on the limited access to press and more generally on whether the Biden administration was discussing human rights with the Modi government.
