Wall Street hits session lows on U.S.-China trade fears

The three main U.S. stock indexes extended losses to hit session lows on Thursday after White House adviser Larry Kudlow said there was a pretty sizable distance to go in the U.S.-China trade talks.

Kudlow’s comments, made in an interview to Fox Business Network, added to worries over a global slowdown which was rekindled after the European Union cut its economic growth forecasts.
