MELBOURNE: The US risks losing out from its curbs on trade as rival nations including China will seek to do more business with each other, BHP Billiton Ltd chief executive officer Andrew Mackenzie warned as the head of the world’s largest miner stepped up his criticism of rising protectionism.
“There’s a lot of countries in the world that want to trade more with each other, now that it looks like the US wants to trade less with them,” Mackenzie said in a Bloomberg Television interview, citing discussions with global trade ministers.
