Could a trade war escalate between the US and some of its trading
partners? It’s not an easy time to be involved in international
trade, with the world’s two biggest economies- the US and China

Gonzalez, Executive Director of the International Trade Centre,
which is co-owned by the World Trade Organisation and the United
