answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2019 answer text <p>The UK remains concerned about the current trade tensions which could adversely affect growth in global GDP. The IMF recently estimated this to be in the order of -0.5% of global GDP in 2020. The UK is engaging with partners across the globe to seek a resolution. We are clear that nobody benefits from trade wars.</p><p> </p><p>The UK shares some of the US’s concerns with China’s trade practices and believes they should be addressed through structural reform in China and through multilateral cooperation, including ambitious reform of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The UK supports a global rules-based trade system. Any actions from either party must be WTO compliant.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 18/06/2019 11:30:30 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie
