The US growth forecast for this year has been given the biggest downgrade among advanced economies by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as a result of uncertainty caused by trade tariffs.
Growth is now expected to be 1.8% this year, down from the IMF's estimate of 2.7% for the US in January.
The sharp increase in tariffs and uncertainty will lead to a "significant slowdown" in global growth, the Fund predicts.
The forecast for the UK has also been cut, with the economy now expected to grow by 1.1% this year.

3. I believe the 1.8% forecast is just for the 1st quarter?

I may be wrong about that. By the end of the year we could very well see negative growth.
