US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is hosting G20 finance ministers and central bank governors in Asheville, North Carolina, as the world’s largest economies confront major economic and geopolitical challenges. The August 31–September 1 meeting is focusing on global economic growth, trade imbalances, sovereign debt, resilient supply chains and financial stability. The gathering also comes amid renewed US-Iran hostilities, rising energy prices and Washington’s expanding sanctions campaign against Tehran.

The meeting is part of the United States’ 2026 G20 presidency and follows the Treasury’s broader push for a results-focused finance agenda. --- Scott Bessent | G20 | G20 Finance Ministers | Asheville | North Carolina | US Treasury | Donald Trump | Global Economy | Trade Imbalances | Sovereign Debt | Iran Sanctions | US Iran Co
