Global finance leaders called on Sunday (July 22) for stepped-up dialogue to prevent trade and geopolitical tensions from hurting growth, but ended a two-day #G20 meeting with little consensus on how to resolve multiple disputes over U.S. tariff actions. The #financeministers and central bank governors from the world’s 20 largest economies warned that growth, while still strong, was becoming less synchronized and downside risks over the short- and medium-term had increased.

U.S. Treasury Secretary #StevenMnuchin said #G7 allies were taking seriously his calls to eliminate tariffs, non-tariff barriers and subsidies among the group, and the #Trump administration would pursue such ideas in trade talks next week with #EuropeanCommission President #JeanClaudeJuncker in Washington.
