World trade chief warns against 'talking ourselves into a crisis'

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 20 (Reuters) - The world should be wary of creating a crisis amid talk of trade wars, World Trade Organization chief Roberto Azevedo said after a meeting of trade ministers at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Friday.
"I've heard a lot in Davos about trade wars. That would destroy jobs, not create jobs," he said, after the meeting attended by 29 WTO members. "We must definitely avoid talking ourselves into a crisis."
