The paragraphs below summarize exactly why this meeting is likely to be useless. Both sides want something different. The US appears to not be concerned about a lower dollar and in fact I think they want one. Europe wants the US to act to support the dollar but the US does not want to raise rates before there are jobs.

``The least I expect is that finance ministers, including the U.S., will come to a common statement saying they are worried about the dollar's weakness and that this development won't continue,'' Rogowski said. Without a statement on the dollar ``I expect the markets will then test the dollar again, so we would see a further devaluation,'' he said.

The U.S. may resist a common statement that would risk triggering a rise in the dollar as President George W. Bush prepares to run for reelection in November, Rogowski said.

``The U.S. is probably interested in a relatively low exchange rate of the dollar as this supports their economy,'' he said.
