According to CoinMeta, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett met with financial leaders from major economies in Asheville, North Carolina this week, facing a significant test of economic diplomacy skills. He will seek to reduce global trade imbalances, promote growth, and cut off commercial ties with Iran, while also trying to ease concerns about rising U.S. debt and bond yields. Bennett warned that countries that continue to purchase Iranian oil or engage in other transactions with Tehran will face secondary sanctions from the United States. This meeting took place amid new tariff measures即将 be implemented by the Trump administration, a trade war with Canada, and uncertainties over high energy and commodity prices caused by the Iran conflict.
