US Trade Leaders Navigate G20 Challenges and Tariff Disputes with Canada
US trade leaders gathered in Milwaukee for G20 meetings, discussing global trading system challenges, including tariffs, food trade, and agricultural products.
US Trade Ambassador Jamieson Greer claimed President Donald Trump's trade policies have strengthened the US position in the global economy.
Greer said the new trade landscape requires trade partners to adjust, citing the 'weaponization of food' as a concern. G20 members agreed to stand against this practice, but failed to reach consensus on banning forced labor imports.
Tariffs between the US and Canada remain in place, with negotiations ongoing. Canadian International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu emphasized the need for a mutually beneficial agreement.
