Quick Glance: Yellen: Indo-Pacific Trade Talks Need 'Further Work'
- US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that negotiations on the trade section of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework require further work, a setback for the Biden administration hoping to announce substantial outcomes this week.
- Yellen reported 'very substantial progress' on three of the four areas discussed by the 14 IPEF member countries, but 'remaining issues' in trade.
- The IPEF is a forum for multilateral talks aimed at forging agreements in various areas, including trade, and is a centerpiece of the Biden administration's efforts to deepen economic ties with Asian nations and counter China's rising dominance in the Pacific.
- IPEF negotiations were never aimed at reducing tariffs or improving market access for members, many of whom were signatories to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal that former President Donald Trump abandoned in 2017.
