Buenos Aires, Dec 1 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 2nd Dec, 2018 ) :The Group of 20 major economies in a summit statement Saturday omitted past language on fighting protectionism, amid the hawkish trade stance of US President Donald Trump.
A statement adopted at the end of the two-day summit in Buenos Aires instead only recognized the "contribution" of the "multilateral trading system," but said it was "falling short" in goals of growth and job creation.
