WHAT HAPPENED

China reportedly blocked G20 consensus while other finance chiefs backed action on distorted trade. The dispute comes amid intensifying tensions with the United States over trade and critical minerals.

A widening G20 trade split could increase the risk of coordinated tariffs, supply-chain disruption and further minerals-related economic friction.
