OTTAWA — A top Bank of Canada official says the economy is caught in the middle of the U.S.-China trade war — and that further escalation of global trade conflicts remain a “major preoccupation” for its policy-makers.

She said it’s largely on track to pick up its pace over the second half of 2019.“China and the United States have escalated their dispute, and Canada has been caught in the crossfire,” said Wilkins’ speech to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.
