Working Groups

Under President Trump’s leadership, the G20 will use four working groups to achieve progress on our three priority themes. With these, we’ll refocus the G20 into an effective organization that drives economic prosperity.

Trade Working Group

For decades, non-market policies and practices and other unfair trade practices have distorted the global economy, preventing fair, market-oriented competition between trading partners and creating severe and sustained economic imbalances. Since the start of the second Trump Administration, the United States has been working closely with our trading partners to address unfair practices – including tariff and non-tariff barriers – and restore balance to our trade relationships. The United States sees a global trading order of the future that is based on fair, reciprocal, and balanced trade. It is in G20 members’ shared interest to take action in a new direction.

Growth and Deregulation Working Group

The Finance track agenda will prioritize pro-growth economic policies supported by deregulation; regulatory modernization and innovation; better understanding excessive global imbalances; enhancing debt transparency and facilitating debt restructuring when necessary; promoting a vibrant and safe digital assets ecosystem; enhancing cross-border payments, including addressing payments fraud; and promoting financial literacy. Central banks will also exchange views on the implications of structural economic and policy shifts for the execution of monetary policy.

Innovation Working Group

The Innovation Working Group will bring together G20 partners to shape the future of technology-driven growth for our respective nations. As AI and other emerging technologies increasingly drive our economic prosperity, we can exchange perspectives with the goal of identifying shared principles that foster sovereign policy frameworks to promote innovation, spanning standards, supply chains, and skilled workforces. To that end, the working group will seek to identify policy principles that promote innovation in AI and other emerging technologies, accelerate scientific and technological advancement, promote economic growth and investment in manufacturing and supply chains, and strengthen public support for these technologies.

Energy Abundance Working Group

Under President Trump’s leadership, the United States has demonstrated that deregulation, permitting reform, and market-driven energy production deliver lower costs for consumers, provide for faster infrastructure development, and support genuine innovation. The G20 is an opportunity for leading economies to align on pragmatic principles like these which will unlock energy abundance and strengthen global resilience. We invite the G20 to embrace this approach—each nation choosing its own energy mix, but all committed to the principles of energy security, abundance, addition, and affordability to meet 21st century energy demand.
