finally have a new coalition government governed. and the decision is made this year's world cup in russia look at video play. us present donald trump has stepped up his rhetoric in a growing global trade fights with a threat to increase taxes on european cars and this comes after european union warned it would impose tit for tat tariffs on american products if trump went through the plan to put a twenty five percent duty on steel imports and canada have also made retaliatory threats bridles joins us live from los angeles so rob was trying been saying now. well lauren president trump began his tweet storm saturday morning with a claim that the u.s.
2:15 am
is current multi national trade agreements are quote very stupid and that other countries laugh at what fools us leaders have been no more the president added with a an exclamation point then he threatened to increase taxes on key european imports to the united states saying if the e.u. wants to further increase their already massive tariffs and barriers we will simply apply a tax on their cars trumps plans to increase taxes on imported steel and aluminum which he announced last week but which have not yet been made formal have been roundly denounced as you mentioned by leaders from canada and europe and elsewhere but also by members of the president's own party which is generally in favor of free trade and by corporate c.e.o.'s and economists around the united states the economists say that if the trade war does go ahead it will increase prices on imported goods for u.s.
2:16 am
consumers and those increases will lead to further inflationary pressure thereby slowing the economy and costing the number of u.s. jobs across a range of industries and also it risks they say undermining the very edifice of carefully negotiated multilateral international trade agreements which have been worked out over the past many decades laura ok robin thanks very much so want to matthies he's the author of done a democracy with liberty and justice for some. american dream for all he's also a professor of political science at cypress college and joins us from los suns in these bases his temper right as europe had it in the u.s. for some time now. well he's not really fully right in fact if you look at what happened in the great depression in nineteen thirty we had the nazis
2:17 am
passed the smooth holly tariffs and about four years on down the line export dropped by seven billion dollars down to two point four billion because the other countries are talented and put tariffs on american products so we can sell that many products in terms of export that's the problem of trying to put this tariff on steel and aluminum especially steel is going to drive the price of other products up that are made out of steel united states and the tariffs some other countries retaliation threats of come in from other countries or to retaliate as american motorcycles in europe against american jeans and response from is once a principle tariff on european cars by thirty five percent you can see the beginning of a total trade war that could devastate the economies in the world but here's the thing the problem is of the reason that people are losing jobs united states have been having lower income wages is because the corporations want to take these jobs to low wage countries like mexico and other parts of the world even china and they want to die because they want more profit so that american corporations are not the
2:18 am
american political leaders as such as the corporations i wanted to do this and that's a problem they're going to raise the wages in those countries then you could have a more even playing field and be fair trade where the workers over there can buy american export products as well the tariffs a wrong way to go in my view ok but it does seem determined to put time of some place he said trade was a good thing and the easy to wear is that the case. absolutely not he doesn't really know what he's talking about because once that began back in the thirty's it just escalated more and more countries put tariffs on their own american products and the whole world went into a great depression and this could happen again you cannot win trade wars easily especially when dealing macro nations like china and germany export a lot of products united states and this is going to cause havoc in the american the in the national economy it'll cause jobs here it'll cost jobs in europe and even in china and it will be very bad for working people around the globe it will shrink the world output of economic output as well around not just the united
2:19 am
states or in china it's going to worldwide phenomenon i don't think mr trump is really fully qualified or equipped to make these decisions i hope he has some expert to advise him he doesn't immediately be listening to express a problem what's the role then of the world trade organization in situations like this does it have any sway to stop these sorts of you to rational protectionist yes it does actually can rule against united states and then ordered the united states to have to pay penalties in terms of trade sanctions and things against united states so it was a powerful organization a guy think that we should reform the world trade and globalization by increasing the wages and environmental standards throughout the world in special low wage and low environmental regulatory countries and then you can have an even playing field across the borders and people can buy products across the board more money in their pockets to it to buy imports from other countries and that will increase not just productivity but also increase the standard of living all around the world for the
2:20 am
middle class that's the problem the working poor the working class are suffering in the world today in the united states and mexico and places like that and that's why politicians like from can come to the forefront and use that anger to get elected and come up with the wrong solutions so many sounds like you have seven good solutions based on math these may thanks for joining us there from the it's my pleasure thank you so much. now egypt's top court has validated a deal to transfer two red sea islands to saudi arabia they agree on the science and can sound one visit egypt and twenty sixteen situated between the two countries in the red sea to run and sun affair remain largely on occupies but they live in a politically sensitive area the sea is israel's only gateway for its southern port at eilat allowing vital trade connections to southeast asia and president apple fattah el-sisi signed the transfer deal and twenty six day that provoked widespread protests across egypt voters said amounts to selling off egypt's sovereign
2:21 am
territory says he was criticised for handing over the islands whilst receiving billions of dollars in aid from saudi arabia i got him is his middle east analyst he says that whilst not everyone agrees with the decision it's important that legal process is followed i believe. it was very important for the regime to get the approval of the consider usual court and i mean the ruling today's ruling you know proves that. the constitutional court which is the highest judicial body in egypt is really part of the routine litany just respond the fact that the way they have egypt did the two on those two in favor of saudi arabia is totally. came in a flagrant way it was a flagrant violation of both the local bishops and laws and the international law
