Wager

"However, experts say officials in Beijing are still battling to untangle what a Trump presidency means for relations between the world’s two largest economies but wager he is unlikely to follow through on his most radical campaign pledges such as imposing 45% tariffs on “cheating China”." (The Guardian.)

Is "experts" a subject in the clause"but wager he is unlikely to follow through on his most radical campaign pledges..."?

It could be, but there's no reason "officials in Beijing" couldn't be the subject of "wager".
