UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday voiced concern over President Donald Trump’s far-reaching new tariffs on nearly all U.S. trading partners, asserting that in a trade war, nobody wins.
“Our concern right now is with the most vulnerable countries who are the least equipped to deal with the current situation,” his Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters at the regular noon briefing in New York in response to a question.
Asked how would the tariffs impact the anti-poverty Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Dujarric said, “Negatively.”
