The U.S. Trade Representative, Jamieson Greer, will host a meeting of G20 trade ministers in Wisconsin from September 30 to October 1, his office announced. Delegates are expected to concentrate on measures to combat forced labor, proposals to update the Most-Favored Nation (MFN) principle, and solutions to global industrial overcapacity.
Officials say the two-day session will provide a platform for ministers to coordinate trade policy responses, share enforcement strategies, and discuss practical steps to address trade distortions caused by excess capacity in certain industries. The agenda aims to balance trade liberalization with stronger protections for workers and fair competition.
Context And Next Steps
As a preparatory meeting for leaders' discussions, the trade ministers will seek common ground on technical and policy options ahead of the G20 leaders' summit. The outcomes of the Wisconsin meeting could inform commitments and joint statements at the summit later in the year.
President Donald Trump is scheduled to host the G20 leaders' summit in Miami on December 14-15 at Trump National Doral.
