After this statement by Trump, there may be a further escalation in the two countries about the trade war for 18 months. The World Bank gives loans to China to carry out many programs throughout the year. Lending to the world's second-largest economy affects economic aid to poor countries.

No decision has yet been taken between the two countries regarding the trade war. No one knows about when it will be announced. Martin Racer, director of Chinese affairs at the World Bank, said that "we will not provide loans for each project going forward. On Thursday, the US government approved a program to reduce the loan to China".
