White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Tuesday that although the spread of coronavirus could affect China’s ability to buy U.S. goods under a “phase one” trade deal, its overall impact on the U.S. economy would be “minimal.”

“The export boom from that trade deal will take longer because of the Chinese virus. That is true,” said Kudlow on Fox Business show “Mornings with Maria.”
