World leaders of the Group of 20 nations adopted a new declaration covering a range of topics on Nov. 22, without input or buy-in from the United States.

While declarations are typically passed at the end of a given G20 summit, the gathered global leaders this time elected to adopt their declaration shortly after convening their two-day summit in South Africa.
