Brendan Smialowski/ Pool via REUTERSUS President Joe Biden announced Sunday a G7 project to rival China's formidable Belt and Road Initiative by raising some $600 billion for global infrastructure programs in poor countries.
The plan, which relaunches a first attempt unveiled during last year's G7, will target countries desperately needing everything from roads to harbors—and until now often relying on the Chinese. Unlike the Chinese version, reliant on state-controlled funds and companies, Biden said the US and other G7 governments will only provide limited amounts of money, while incentivizing massive private sector investments.
