Developing countries should fast-track US trade deals: World Bank President

Developing countries should look to strike swift trade deals with Donald Trump's administration to avoid unnecessary pain, the World Bank president told AFP on Friday.

"You need to negotiate trade systems with the U.S. at the earliest possible (opportunity)," Ajay Banga said during an interview in Washington. "If you delay, it hurts everyone."
