What happened

The G20 should consider imposing more trade barriers against China. This is the message from Bessent, who has urged G20 nations to reassess their trade terms with China. Bessent has cited China's $1.2 trillion trade surplus as a key reason for this push.

The Atlantic Council has also weighed in, suggesting that the G20 needs to offer more incentives to rebalance trade away from China. Crypto Briefing, Forex Factory, investingLive and Reuters have all covered Bessent's stance. However, the specifics of these trade barriers and the potential economic repercussions are not yet detailed in the coverage.

The G20's response to Bessent's proposal remains unknown.
