 "IMF warns wave of US protectionism would offset any stimulus gains")
Protectionist policies from the new US administration of President Donald Trump will probably have a negative impact on the economy, overshadowing any positive gains from economic stimulus measures, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Friday.
"Overall, it probably won't be net positive," Managing Director Christine Lagarde told a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
