FUKUOKA - Widening fallout from the U.S.-China trade war and escalating tariff threats will test the resolve of Group of 20 finance leaders to show a united front this week, as investors worry if they can avert a global recession with dwindling policy ammunition.

But the broadening pain from the trade war will make it hard for G20 finance ministers and central bank heads to side-step the topic when they gather for a two-day meeting starting on Saturday in the southern Japan city of Fukuoka. “The communique is always fun to do, so I anticipate we’ll have some interesting conversations on trade, as well as other issues. And I expect we’ll likely get to a communique, but you never know,” the official told reporters earlier this week.

Trump said on Thursday he would meet President Xi Jinping at a G20 leaders’ summit late this month and decide afterwards whether to hit Beijing with more tariffs. The International Monetary Fund on Wednesday warned that current and threatened U.S.-China tariffs could cut global economic output by 0.5% in 2020.
