Story summary

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosted a meeting with foreign ministers from Australia, India, and Japan in Atlanta on October 31, 2026, as part of preparations for an upcoming leaders' summit in Manila. This is the third such ministerial-level meeting this year and will be followed by the first Quad leaders' summit since 2024 during the ASEAN conference from November 15-18, where US President Donald Trump is expected to attend. The ministers expressed "grave concerns" over economic coercion, including arbitrary export restrictions and practices leading to overproduction, without naming China, which is seen as a significant critic of these policies. Additionally, the Quad ministers emphasized their commitment to developing reliable supply chains, supporting next-generation technologies, and securing critical minerals, highlighting areas such as artificial intelligence and mineral resources.
