Japan's Group of 20 summit meeting wraps up as President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping agree to restart talks on the trade war between the two largest economies.
June 29, 2019
“The G-20 nations, as the countries that lead the world economy, have a responsibility to squarely face global problems and to come up with solutions through frank dialogue,” Abe said in concluding the meeting. Only the United States dissented, reiterating Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement “because it disadvantages American workers and taxpayers.”
Leaders said they’d “look into a wide range of clean technologies and approaches, including smart cities, ecosystem and community based approaches.” North Korea’s First Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui responded by saying it was a “very interesting suggestion,” and the meeting, if realized, would serve as “another meaningful occasion in further deepening the personal relations between the two leaders and advancing the bilateral relations.”
The two sides have levied billions of dollars’ worth of tariffs on each other’s products, and talks on resolving the longstanding issues had stalled in May.
