The IMF has cut world economic growth by a small margin.

Well, this IMF cut is a non-event because it's a small margin cut.  However, the real impact of the US-China tariffs will be felt next year and this is the most significant message out of the IMF announcement.

Everyone has to tighten the belt next year!

The IMF has cut the US economic growth in 2019 by 13.79% from 2.9% to 2.5% while the China economic growth is slashed by 6.06% from 6.6% to 6.2% because of the tariffs.

This shows that the US suffers more than China as the cut is more than double of China's.

AFP news doesn't highlight the cut in US economic growth but instead focuses on China's cut which is less than double of USA's.
