The meetings mark the last major international finance gathering held during the Biden administration and comes as economic issues are a top concern for American voters. Republicans have blamed the Biden-Harris administration for inflation that reached a 40-year high before dropping. Trump said at a September debate that the administration “destroyed the economy."
