WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Sweeping tariffs announced on Wednesday by U.S. President Donald Trump represent a significant risk to the global economy at a time when growth has been sluggish, the head of the International Monetary Fund said in a statement on Thursday.
IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said it was important to avoid steps that could further harm the global economy and appealed to the United States and its trading partners to work constructively to reduce tensions.
