Bruno Le Maire told French newspaper La Croix that the trade war between the world's biggest two economies was the biggest threat to global growth. "The tariffs that the United States is putting on Chinese goods and the retaliation from China will have a negative impact of 0.5 percentage points on global growth in 2020," Le Maire said. "That's considerable, especially against the light of the weak growth in the euro zone," he added.
