Описание: Donald Trump's tariff trade war will significantly slow economic growth around the world, including Australia. That's the warning from the International Monetary Fund, which has slashed its global growth forecasts.
As the uncertainty roils financial markets, yet another surprise tariff u-turn, was handed down from the White House.
President Donald Trump hinting a retreat in his trade war that's slapped tariffs of 145 per cent.
Meanwhile in Australia, the Treasurer and his opposition faced off in their final debate of the election campaign.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers says Australia "can do better than just weather and withstand" the tariff headwinds, while the man vying for his job, Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor claims Australia doesn't "have the the buffers needed in uncertain times".
