The head of the UN trade agency (UNCTAD), Rebeca Grynspan, has expressed her concerns about the uncertainty that has swept the global economy, following the US decision to impose a host of tariffs on countries around the world.
UNCTAD is responsible for helping developing countries to take advantage of the opportunities presented by international trade, and to grow their economies.
Speaking to Conor Lennon from UN News, Ms. Grynspan said that the agency has called for developing countries to be spared “the pain” of tariffs, which have led to massive disruption, and fears of a worldwide recession.
