00:01Russia's Minister for Economic Development has criticized actions by the United States,
00:05saying they're restricting global trade.
00:08Speaking at a two-day gathering of G20 officials,
00:11he appealed to the White House to help save the international trade order,
00:14warning that it was at risk of collapse.
00:16Trade ministers were meeting in the U.S. under the shadow of President Donald Trump's tariffs.
00:24In an effort to protect their economy, of course the rules are being dismantled.
00:28Perhaps in an attempt to establish new ones, but the new rules remain unclear for now.
00:34For the time being, it's more a matter of dismantling all international frameworks
00:38that hinder the conclusion of deals, shifting towards a logic of bilateral relations
00:43and exercising the right of the strong.
00:46Russia understands better than anyone what this is all about
00:49because they're trying in every way possible to restrict our trade.
00:54He dismissed Washington's agenda topics, which included eliminating forced labor,
00:59refraining from weaponizing food trade and tackling industrial overcapacity,
01:03saying there were more pressing issues to discuss.
01:06Some member countries used the talks to deepen trade ties outside the U.S.
