STORYLINE:
Leaders of the Group of 20 nations and guests posed for a group photograph on Monday in Rio de Janeiro, with Brazil's Sugarloaf mountain providing an iconic backdrop.

Brazil is pushing for concerted action to alleviate hunger as it hosts a summit of the Group of 20 leading economies amid global uncertainty over two major wars and incoming U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva welcomed foreign leaders to Rio de Janeiro’s modern art museum Monday and delivered an opening address that focused on fighting food insecurity.

Biden had intended to be part of the G20 group photo, a set piece at most international summits, but it occurred earlier than scheduled, according to a senior administration official, who was not authorized to comment publicly. He missed it, along with Canada's Justin Trudeau and Italy's Giorgia Meloni.

Heightened global tensions and uncertainty about an incoming Trump administration had already tempered expectations for a strongly worded statement addressing the conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine, even before Argentine negotiators started challenging draft language.
