Absent leaders
editFive leaders did not attend the G20 summit. Of them, Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin participated via video link; Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who rarely leaves the country on foreign trips, sent his Secretary of Foreign Affairs Marcelo Ebrard on his behalf; and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa both skipped the summit due to elections being held in each respective nation.[2][3][4][5]
Outcomes

The Biden administration and the European Union reached an agreement on 30 October to roll back the steel and aluminium tariff regime that had been imposed by the Trump administration in 2018. The agreement retained some protection for American steel and aluminum producers by adopting a tariff-rate quota regime. It also ended retaliatory tariffs on American goods the EU had imposed and cancelled a scheduled tariff increase by the EU.[6]
