'No impact' on US economy from China trade row: Trump

[NEW YORK] President Donald Trump insisted on Wednesday that there had been "absolutely no impact" on the US economy from the escalating trade dispute between his administration and China.

"We have to make it fair. So we're at US$250 billion now, 25 per cent interest," he said in reference to a package of tariffs imposed on Chinese imports.

"A lot of money is coming into our coffers. And it's had absolutely no impact on our economy."
