G20 Members Agree on Addressing Trade Surpluses, Except China
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that nearly all G20 members have agreed to address trade imbalances caused by an influx of cheap exports into the global market. However, he noted that China did not support this initiative. The statement reflects concerns over non-market-based economies flooding international markets with low-cost goods. The move highlights growing tensions around fair trade practices and economic policies among major global economies. Bessent emphasized the need for a coordinated response to ensure balanced trade flows and prevent unfair advantages from distorting market dynamics.
