G20 trade ministers agreed to condemn the use of food and agricultural trade as a tool of economic or political coercion, but failed to secure broader consensus on forced labor in supply chains and excess industrial capacity. The U.S. Trade Representative’s office said a handful of members rejected a U.S.-backed pathway for cooperation on excess capacity, while only Mexico and Argentina joined a statement calling for further work to remove goods produced with forced labor from supply chains. The outcome came after the Trump administration imposed tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on goods from 59 countries and the European Union over alleged failures to enforce forced-labor bans. The United States had also raised concerns about China’s industrial subsidies and exports, proposed reform of unconditional Most Favored Nation tariff rules, and discussed releasing European strategic diesel reserves. China rejects claims that its policies create excess capacity and says Western governments use the issue to justify protectionism.
