U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to address G20 on trade imbalances, Iran sanctions, and U.S. debt concerns

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to lead discussions at the G20 finance leaders meeting in Asheville, North Carolina, focusing on global trade imbalances, economic growth, and efforts to sever business ties with Iran. The meeting, scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, also aims to calm international concerns regarding rising U.S. debt and bond yields. This initiative marks an effort to reassert U.S. leadership within the G20, particularly in advancing the Trump administration's economic worldview amidst ongoing trade disputes and high energy prices linked to the Iran war.
