Summary
World’s top trade leaders will converge in South Korea to negotiate with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer as they seek to address President Trump’s tariffs during a key meeting. Greer recently agreed on a temporary tariff cut with China, and now his team faces tough decisions on how to manage the global trade environment. Meanwhile, APEC members will discuss free trade through multilateral cooperation, contrasting with bilateral meetings aimed at countering Trump’s protectionist policies.
