A trade dispute between the United States and China could reduce global trade by 1% in the medium term, Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann said on Sunday.

"The world economy is suffering a lot from the uncertainty," Weidmann said after a meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors, adding Germany's economy may shrink slightly in the second quarter but no stimulus was needed.
