- European diplomats objected to being pictured with Russia’s Lavrov in the G20 photograph.
- US scrapped that G20 photograph after the objection, withdrawing the disputed image.
Why it matters: European diplomats secured the immediate outcome they sought: the single G20 photograph they rejected was scrapped, leaving the US without an image pairing them with Russia’s Lavrov. For summit imagery, that is a concrete change in who appears together and which visual the US is willing to use.
