a headache for spain's new prime minister. france as well in the u.s. it has only a few days to avoid a trade war leaving it up to washington to deescalate tensions of the towers and that's after the u.s. imposed new taxes on steel and aluminum imports from the e.u. mexico and canada well the dispute dominated talks between finance ministers from the global economic group known as the g seven in canada but u.s. treasury secretary steven ition is downplaying the dispute. i don't think in any way the u.s. is abandoning its leadership in the global economy quite the contrary i think our leadership on the economy which is one of president trumps major objectives that national security. is not only good for the united states but is good for growth around the world and if anything that additional growth is is potentially leading
1:02 am
to us even more reason to want to focus on these trade issues well the e.u. canada and mexico are both threatened or impose their own measures in retaliation canada's finance minister says he hopes they'll persuade the trump ministration to back away from the towers over the course last couple of days there was an important difference of opinion the americans have decided to in our mind take an action that's it's not at all constructive it's actually destructive to our ability to get things done what did we ask secretary treasury secretary to do we said that we were collectively hoping that he would bring the message back the message message of regret and disappointment at the american actions and concern that they are not constructive and my sense is that he's going to take that message back to washington but it appears donald trump is planning to hold his ground he's tweeted that it's time for the u.s. to be treated fairly young trade well john hendren joins us live now from
1:03 am
washington d.c. john there's a lot of anger from u.s. allies about these tabs what a finance leader has been saying at this meeting. you said adair and the allies are angry and they're angry specifically over those tariffs as you said the french finance minister warned that there were just a few days left before a trade war would be set off and those countries have already identified items iconic american items like levi's jeans jack daniels whiskey harley-davidson motorcycles oranges from florida all of those things would be subject to retaliate or a trip tariffs so this really is being set up to become a trade more a trade war that is and after three days of meeting ahead of the g. seven the members got together wrote a statement a unanimous statement that criticized the u.s. position saying the finance ministers and central bank governors requested that the united states secretary of the treasury communicate their unanimous concern and
1:04 am
disappointment presumably that would be communicated to trump and they went on to say that this would continue next week to be the topic of discussion so this is really overwhelming those talks right now there's a lot of anger directed at trumpet as you say he has not been backing down on this he's been tweeting just in the last several minutes on this here is another tweet that he offered when you're almost eight hundred billion dollars a year down on trade you cannot lose a trade war the u.s. has been ripped off by other countries for years on trade time to get smart he said so that gives you a little idea of where president trump is coming in on this stephen minucci the u.s. treasury secretary in meeting with those ministers and talking to reporters afterwards said he has already communicated those concerns to president donald trump donald trump is reading those reports and live tweeting his response and so far the response is we're not giving up on the tariffs yet john as you say this meeting was
1:05 am
ahead of the g. seven in canada next week so how will the disagreements on tariffs affect that meeting do you think. well that meeting was set up as a global celebration it was supposed to be they have it every year but this year was really going to focus on the global economic expansion something that i think the host of the meeting justin trudeau of canada was really hoping to press they were also going to focus on gender equality climate change then they were even going to write the climate change segment in a way that might appease the climate deniers among the trump administration who won't utter the phrase that they've been calling it environmental resilience but there was this effort to really celebrate what's been going on in the global economy try to get together and to advance some of these other causes and right now those are all on the backburner everybody is going to be talking primarily about trade no one really wants to deal with anything until they've dealt with this issue
1:06 am
of tariffs and trump has been saying in his tweets that the u.s. is going to hold its ground but this might be a negotiating position from the president after all this happened these tariffs on mexico canada and europe all happened after the u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross negotiated with these countries tried to get them to agree to quotas they said no then the tariffs came up so we'll see whether that becomes a full blown trade war or whether something happens next week in order to take down the heat on this subject john hendren there in washington d.c. john thank you well the meeting comes as the u.s. come a secretary's in china's capital for talks on these intention of a tower of the visit by wilbur ross comes off of the trumpet ministration with new threats against china raising fears of a trade war washington wants beijing to reduce the trade deficit of nearly three hundred forty billion dollars for tween the two nations. the israeli army says it's intercepted at least one rocket over its territory rocket sirens have been activated in southern israel bordering the gaza strip well earlier thousands of

1:21 am
korean leader kim jong il and japan and south korea are divided of the future of pyongyang's ballistic missile program and that division was on display at international security conference in singapore it's called highly reports. the focus of the high level discussions here at the shangri-la dialogue all came down to one peninsula u.s. secretary of defense jim mattis just hours after president donald trump confirmed the u.s. north korea summit was back on june twelfth here in singapore and made something on very clear open the number of u.s. troops in south korea is something that will not be discussed if we can restrict or confidence building measures with with something verifiable then of course these kinds of issues can come up subsequently between two shopper and democracies the republic of korea and the united states but it is that issue is not on the table here in singapore on the twelfth. that adds weight to comments from trump that it's unlikely that
1:22 am
a major breakthrough will come after just one meeting also here the shangri-la dialogue the defense ministers from japan and south korea both spoke about the upcoming summit but with guarded optimism saying it's a historic first step down the right path but north korea cannot be rewarded just for dialogue concrete actions are needed. south korea was more conciliatory toward kim jong un urging patience with the north koreans for coming well because just because we have been tricked by north korea before does not guarantee that we will be tricked in the future if we start to think like this we can never negotiate with them and we can never look to achieve peace with them and also on saturday secretary mattis described china's buildup in the south china sea as militarization used for intimidation and coercion and i think mr mattis was doing that simply to remind everybody that the geopolitical chessboard straddled across the asia pacific is extremely large and a lot of moving parts and the current korean peninsula crisis is just one portion
1:23 am
of that chessboard clearly a red line or several red lines have been crossed and the u.s. is now hitting back at these diplomatically trying to defend it it's actually saying what the u.s. and their allies are doing is simply being matched for now the countdown to the much anticipated summit in ten days remains in the spotlight it's got harder al-jazeera singapore one hey has more on the south korean reaction from seoul. there was a positive response from the south korean government to the news that the summit between donald trump and kim jong un appears to be back on track for june the twelfth in singapore there was a very brief statement released by the office of the south korean prisoners mungy in referring to the letter that was written by kim jong un and sent to donald trump the statement said it is made the path leading to a u.s. north korea summit wider in studio and we will watch for the historic meeting to be held in singapore in an excited yet met
1:24 am
a man or so perhaps cautious optimism optimism is the best way to describe the response from the south korean government to that news that the summit appears to be or go for june the twelfth but it looks also increasingly unlikely that will we will see any significant deals or any major announcements made during that summit there may be some general agreements reached between donald trump and kim jong un there was some perhaps misguided optimism that they would be a deal reached related to perhaps the denuclearization of the korean peninsula which seems to be the ultimate goal or a peace deal to formally end the korean war but of course those two issues are very complex and it seems that there just isn't enough time to come up with some sort of deal before or during that summit when it comes to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula it also seems that the two sides north korea and the united states
