The United States urges G20 countries to apply trade barriers targeting China, arguing that China’s large trade surplus is unsustainable. The call comes from the US Treasury chief, who says other economies will need to adjust how they trade with Beijing.
The outlets report the same central message: the US is pressing for coordinated action among major economies rather than isolated measures. Both accounts frame the US position in terms of changing the “terms of trade” with China, suggesting that current trade imbalances should be addressed through policy responses. The reports do not detail what specific barriers should be used, nor do they describe direct reactions from other G20 members.
Overall, the coverage focuses on the US request for collective pressure within the G20, while leaving open how negotiations, enforcement, and potential impacts on global trade are handled by other countries.
