G20 finance leaders' communique to say trade tensions have 'intensified': source
FUKUOKA, Japan - Group of 20 finance leaders agreed to describe trade and geopolitical tensions as “intensified” and pledged to take further action to address these economic risks, three G20 sources said as a second day of meetings got underway on Sunday.
The Buenos Aires meeting launched a five-month trade truce between the United States and China to allow for negotiations to end their deepening trade war.
