G7 nations paper over differences on tariffs and Ukraine, agree to address 'imbalances'
Top finance officials from the world's seven wealthiest democracies set aside stark differences on U.S. tariffs and agreed to counter global “economic imbalances,” a swipe at China's trade practices. In a communiqué issued Thursday, the Group of Seven finance ministers and central bank governors, meeting in the Canadian Rockies, left out their traditional defense of free trade and toned down their references to Russia's war in Ukraine compared with last year. The communiqué said the G7 members would continue to monitor “nonmarket policies and practices” which contribute to imbalances in global trade.
