Bessent heads to the G20 to rally allies on Iran as tariffs strain ties

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is scheduled to travel to the G20 meeting to rally the world's largest economies regarding Iran. The diplomatic effort comes as U.S. relations with international allies are strained by aggressive trade tariffs.

Additionally, the administration faces domestic pressure from an unpopular military campaign against Iran, which has driven up consumer gas prices and further complicated the international landscape as U.S. officials seek global cooperation.
