‘Logic of trade wars flawed’

– The logic behind the current round of global trade wars was flawed, Indonesian President Joko Widodo said yesterday, quipping that he was part of a team of superheroes, “The Avengers”, that aims to defeat the ideas stoking such conflict.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Hanoi, Widodo said trade wars only led the world’s population towards “infinity wars”, referring to a blockbuster film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise.
