The G7 Meeting in Its Demise as a Policy Making Body Was Useful - Blog # 529



The current focus on worldwide tariffs, particularly those of Chinese and American products, was kicked off by President Trump at the G7 meeting held  in Quebec. 

·       Mohamed El-Erian, formerly head of PIMCO and now chief economic advisor to its owner Allianz, recently stated that “The failed G7 Summit dealt a very public blow to a once powerful grouping that had already been challenged by global economic re-alignment, the emergence of the more representative G20, and new forms of regionalism.”

·       Today the leading German auto manufacturer suggested that there be no tariffs on autos within the market that uses the Euro. This is a reaction to a suggestion that the American President made at the meeting.
