Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen pledged more US financial assistance for Ukraine, saying she’s confident the effort will win congressional support despite a looming partisan showdown.
Speaking Friday at a press conference in New Delhi ahead of the G-20 summit, Yellen also said she’s “been surprised by the strength of global growth and how resilient the global economy has proven to be.” She was less upbeat on China’s outlook, saying she sees the world’s No. 2 economy “slowing over time,” but noted that Beijing “has quite a bit of policy space to address these challenges.”
