Sino-US trade tensions will affect Africa's growth

No country will come out unscathed by the ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China, said Raphael Tuju, secretary-general of Kenya's ruling Jubilee party.

He called for the world's two largest economies to return to the negotiating table to salvage the situation that is quickly reverberating negatively across the globe.

Early this year, the African Development Bank said trade tensions between the two economic giants could shave 0.7 percent from Africa's GDP in 2019.
