G20 forced labor pledge split

The G20 only managed to agree on a single line opposing the use of food as a weapon while the U.S., Mexico, and Argentina went ahead and signed a pledge against forced labor separately. Trump's trade chief Jamieson Greer facilitated that signing between Mexico and Argentina alongside the Milwaukee meeting instead of waiting for full consensus. China is reported to have prevented the full room from agreeing to the pledge because cheap goods made with forced labor undercut other markets. The Office of the U.S. Trade Rep. provided this update and Lucas wrote it up.
