Singapore to focus on regional deals as trade war thwarts growth.

It’s important that Singapore works on different types of regional arrangements to “find new pathways for growth,” S. Iswaran, minister for communications and information, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Friday. He referred to pacts such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, or CPTPP, and the EU-Singapore free trade agreement.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to meet on Saturday at the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Osaka as the leaders try to resolve their trade war.
