Kremlin urges not to exaggerate impact of US-China trade war on Russia

The US-China trade dispute will affect everyone, though one should not exaggerate its negative impact on the Russian economy, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday.

"The trade war between the United States and China cannot but have consequences for the global economic climate. Obviously, those consequences are rather negative than positive. That said, one should not exaggerate those consequences for (Russia) as the (Russian) economy is demonstrating quite sustainable development now from the viewpoint of basic parameters," he said when asked about possible risks for Moscow due to the trade dispute between Washington and Beijing.
