The spiraling conflict between the world\u2019s two largest economies, China and the US, is undermining global trade and development, the premier of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Browne, told RT, at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum.<\/div>\n

Prices globally could increase on a number of products if the two countries continue to hike tariffs, he said, noting that this will hamper world growth.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

\u201cSo, I believe that potentially we may see a reduction in GDP to a tune of about $500 billion. And that\u2026 will literally impact all countries,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Browne warned.<\/p>\n

According to him, Beijing and Washington should understand that they have an \u201cobligation to collaborate\u201d<\/em>\u00a0for the benefit of free trade and peace among nations.\u201cSo, we think [the trade war] is senseless and hope it will come to an end very soon.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Such\u00a0\u201cmuscular rhetoric\u201d<\/em>\u00a0as is being used in the trade spat is unhelpful to the whole world, said the prime minister, adding that the two global powers need to act together and understand that\u00a0\u201cordinary people in China, the US, the Caribbean and Russia will suffer as a result of this senseless trade war.\u201d<\/em><\/p>
