The Inte ational Monetary Fund says it is assessing the macroeconomic risks posed by the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump.

Its Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said that the tariffs imposed at a time when the global economy is experiencing slow growth are putting the global economy at further risk.

She also said that it is important to prevent possible damage and risks to the world economy.

The Inte ational Monetary Fund is urging the United States and partner countries to work effectively to reduce trade tensions.

It is reported that a review of these tariffs will be released at the IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings to be held later this month.
