Global trade tops agenda as world leaders meet at G20 summit
On Thursday, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman in Beijing reiterated that China is determined to defend itself against further US moves to penalise it over trade friction.
Trump has at times found himself at odds with other leaders in such international events, particularly on issues such as Iran, climate change and trade.
Iran's moves come after Trump announced in May 2018 that he was pulling the US out of the deal and reimposing economic sanctions on Tehran. Fast and equal economic growth should be constructed so that people who live in "the 'rust belts' of the world are not left behind," he said. The Russian president also emphasised the need for BRICS nations to take coordinated action to help block sources of funding for terrorist groups.Trump set a combative tone even before arriving in Japan, taking aim at India, which he accused of seeking to increase tariffs on US goods.
