जी–२० बैठक
MILWAUKEE, September 30
Amid growing global trade tensions stemming from US tariff policies, a two-day meeting of G20 trade ministers begins on Wednesday in Milwaukee, USA. Representatives from major world economies, including China, India, Russia, Japan, Germany, and France, are participating in the meeting. Discussions are expected to cover international trade, tariffs, industrial manufacturing capacity, and bilateral trade relations.
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated that the US trade policy is not anti-trade. According to him, various countries across the globe are facing similar challenges related to excess industrial manufacturing capacity and market dynamics.
The United States has imposed tariffs on various trading partners, including China, India, and the European Union. Furthermore, investigations are ongoing in some countries regarding forced labor and excess industrial capacity concerns. China, however, has consistently dismissed concerns raised over its exports, maintaining that exporting high-quality and competitively priced goods benefits the global market.
Meanwhile, Canada and the European Union are expected to discuss expanding trade and investment ties with countries other than the US. Canada reiterated its support for an open, predictable, and rules-based international trading system.
Analysts suggest that reaching consensus on key issues during the meeting could prove challenging due to disagreements over tariff policies.
The US holds the presidency of the G20 this year. The G20 comprises 19 countries along with the European Union and the African Union. (RSS/AFP)
