MEXICO CITY Nov 5 (Reuters) - The United States should seek to manage planned spending cuts and tax hikes in such a way that the so-called fiscal cliff does not damage global growth, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Monday.
"Everything must be done...to negotiate the fiscal cliff in such a way that it does not result in any major additional damage or difficulties for the global economy," Schaeuble told a news conference in Mexico City, where he was attending a meeting of finance officials from the Group of 20 economic powers.
Nevertheless, Schaeuble also said that to achieve sustained economic growth, over-indebted nations had no option but to reduce their budget deficits.
