The CBO said changes in US and foreign trade policies since January 2018 will reduce inflation-adjusted US gross domestic product by 0.3 per cent from what it would be otherwise in 2020. "I am the chosen one ... so I am taking on China. I'm taking on China on trade. And you know what? We're winning,": President Donald Trump.CBO said the tariffs were boosting domestic prices, reducing consumers' purchasing power and boosting the cost of business investment. Real income for the average US household was also expected to drop by 0.4 per cent, it said.
China's Foreign Ministry appeared to downplay the comments, emphasising the need for dialogue to resolve differences on trade issues but threatened to retaliate if Washington proceeded with an $8 billion arms sale to Taiwan.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang reiterated a threat to put sanctions on US companies which sell weapons to Taiwan, saying such sales are a serious interference in China's internal affairs and violation of Chinese sovereignty.
