What economic power attended despite US absence?

Question

Accepted Answer

Countries representing three-quarters of world population (approximately 6 billion people), two-thirds of global GDP (roughly $67 trillion out of $100 trillion global economy), and three-quarters of world trade participated in the summit. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized these figures when arguing the declaration retained full legitimacy despite US and Argentina's absence. Major economies attending included China (world's second-largest economy), the European Union (third-largest economic bloc), Japan (fourth-largest), Germany (fifth-largest), India (sixth-largest), UK, France, Italy, Brazil, and South Korea. The combined economic weight of attending nations far exceeded the roughly 25% of global GDP represented by the US economy alone.
