President Joe Biden is heading to his final G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro , Brazil .

Biden has often used the annual summit to flex diplomatic muscle, advance policy initiatives and hold key bilateral talks on the forum’s sidelines.

The G20 established in 1999 , on the heels of the Asian financial crisis, by the older G7 as a new international body.
