What happened
The G20 trade ministerial meeting was held in Milwaukee from September 30 to October 1. The discussions centered on four key issues: the weaponization of food through coercive trade actions, forced labor in global supply chains, structural excess capacity, and the Most-Favoured-Nation principle. The clearest consensus reached was on food and agriculture, acknowledging that trade in food products has been used to exert coercive pressure for economic or political reasons.
