USA Urges G20 to Reconsider Trade with China
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wants to call on G20 member states at the finance ministers meeting to re-examine the conditions of trade with China. The meeting begins on Monday in Asheville in the American state of North Carolina. hnonline.sk ↗
Before the negotiations, Bessent described the current volume of Chinese exports as unsustainable. According to available information, he wants to open a debate about new trade barriers or restrictions against China. The aim is to reduce global trade imbalance and level the playing field in international trade. ekonomika.sme.sk ↗
The American side is particularly pointing out the dependence of the Chinese economy on exports. The proposal to reconsider trade rules is therefore intended to lead to broader discussion within the G20, which brings together the world's largest economies. It is expected that the topic of trade relations with China will be among the main points of the finance ministers' negotiations. aktuality.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on the stance of other G20 members. If countries were to support the American proposal, it could lead to new measures in trade policy toward China and further pressure to adjust global commodity flows. teraz.sk ↗
