the headlines more news after inside story. donald trump versus the rest of the world the stage is set for a g. seven summit showdown america's allies are angry about trump's trade towers and threatening to hit back so are we closer to a trade war that could derail the global economy and america first leave america behind this is inside story.

and welcome to the program brought him the leaders of seven of the world's biggest economies are in canada for what could be the most acrimonious g. seven summit and years donald trump's tariffs on steel an atom many of imports of caused outrage and a war of words with other world leaders but u.s. president also finds himself virtually isolated on the iran nuclear deal and climate change and john hendren reports from quebec city. inside and outside the g. seven summit disruption has replaced diplomacy on the streets demonstrators are descending on québec city where canada's leaders intend to avert a repeat of the two thousand and one summit of the americas where these streets erupted in riots this time nine thousand police are taking no chances even national assembly is shut down if it is bad. get get pretty nasty.

shopkeepers have boarded up buildings as the first protesters filled the streets. the first demonstration of the g. seven began peacefully and it turned into a march as you can see there were speakers people eight baguettes and hundreds of people demonstrated peacefully but when the police came they showed that they were prepared in case there was trouble. concerned that they've completely secured the summit site is leaving demonstrators to gather one hundred forty kilometers away and get back city at the gathering itself leaders are calling it the g six plus one the u.s. against the rest all six u.s. allies in the group of seven of the world's largest economies opposed donald trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum and hope to avert a trade war but that. perhaps trump doesn't mind he's being isolated today here at

matters because these six countries here represent values they represent the economic market with a strong history and certainly also represent a true force on the international level it's the diplomatic equivalent of a family intervention as donald trump prepared to arrive french president and canadian prime minister just to talk about how to talk to the u.s. president there's no question that on trade on climate change on some other issues there will different be. it says a perspective but the role of the chief seven is to provide a context to highlight the ways we work together and work through some of the differences in perspectives trump fired back via twitter saying in part please tell prime minister trudeau and president mccrone that they are charging the us massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers the meeting could end in a show of unity or a showdown if you're going to carve the world up and you're going to have united

states versus rest of world the rest of the world is going to be bigger and it's going to be more important. as the leaders in protesters gather in quebec those watching the g. seven around the world remain in suspense wondering whether history will be made inside that meeting or outside john hendren al-jazeera quebec city. well let's bring in our panel now all scott from calling robertson a former canadian diplomat and vice president of the canadian global affairs and is to shoot from london and the genes from the department of international politics at city university of london and via skype from she's a walk in japan. then at the school of management and information at the university of she's a welcome very warm welcome to all of you mr robertson let me start with you while the g. seven summit be dominated by a trade for al well it certainly give me the backdrop and certainly the media has

put the focus on it and that will be the subject i think of the most animated discussions amongst the leaders but as we know at these g. seven so there is a kind of schedule and there are big issues that many have been which discussed which will be at least looked at but i think the focus is certainly going to be on trade and protectionism and how the leaders grow the world economy when their principal member united states is taking a very different approach. mr palmer what do you think how much of a shadow is the trade dispute going to cost over this g. seven summit although it is the probably the most contentious of several major issues as you know the there are challenges to the international system and its various regimes climate change and so on as well so i think it's going to be specifically around trade i think the most animated as my colleague got a desired but i think there's kind of an underlying worry about the existence of

the persistence of the international system and it seems to be under a lid great deal of pressure at this moment in time mr bakhash either how do you see the prospects for this summit going into it with the trade dispute. be very very gloomy to say the least and i think we were ready have the taster of that when we look at the finance ministers' meeting as well it's extremely clear as the two gentleman has clearly depicted that the irrational i would say claim and actions by the united states who actually should be the pillar of these meetings is causing quite a lot of turmoil and the problem here is that i think it is disintegrating a lot of cohesiveness that were build over decades in the western hemisphere and this is a very very bad timing in the sense that we're seeing a lot of job political risks involved particularly for example like in asia so this

is an area where we do not want to see regression of protectionism thus leading to trade war this is a very very bad timing for that i think mr robertson as well as being irrational as the said how shortsighted all misguided do you think president trumps policy is given that you know stale and alimony america's employ what some one hundred forty thousand people in the u.s. but some six point five million. businesses that use steel and as many m and whose costs will go up and this is just talking about the impact on the u.s. economy let alone the global economy. no you're exactly right and let's not forget that this was tried in two thousand and two by george w. bush and pressure put on him to impose similar kind of policies he did it last expansively canada was exempted but within a year he dipped to the terrorist because as later econometric studies showed

they'd actually lost far more jobs than the created and in fact what he had done by opposing these tariffs on steel milliman and it hurt the american economy much more than it helped it and the american steel industry is close to capacity now and these require major investments and it's not going to bring the jobs back because increasingly when you go to steel plants it's the man in the dog the dog watch the man who watches the robots and mr as mr robertson was saying i think when george w. bush impose tariffs on steel imports in two thousand and two you know some studies say that the move cost the u.s. about two hundred thousand jobs again that's just the impact nationally. as we heard from an analyst and reporter if you have the u.s. on one side and six of the world's biggest economies on the other they are going to be bigger and more important so how damaging could this be to the u.s. but also whether for talia tree measures to the global economy. yes i think it would be damaging to the united states but i think what i would say

that we have to look at as well is that this global system with this various regimes trading security and other. they're supposed to deliver for the populations of each of those countries certain amount of kind of economic and other security and the thing is that when you look at bragg's it you look at populism of left and right in europe and and trump's rise in the united states you see growing levels of nationalism somebody on the left somewhat on the right and i think what trump is trying to respond to is that kind of nationalism which says the global globalization has impacted lots of communities developed devastated them of course technology has played a big role too but i think he is trying to play to that political gallery he's got the midterms coming up in a few months yet and i think he wants to try to say look i promised you these things i'm delivering on them but in the long run this is not actually helping the united states those people and it's not really helping american businesses either

so it is very shortsighted and is mainly politically driven i would say and this is actually the how much of this is because trump does seem to be treating trade as a sort of zero sum game where they can only be one winner and because the u.s. does have a trade deficit meaning it imports more than it exports he sees taxing imports as a way to win but if this escalates into a trade war who wins does anybody when. well actually nobody wins with. scintilla of doubt this is just throwing mud at each other at the end of the day when we come in to retired three measures the fact of the matter is that we're all concerned about the huge hundred billion dollars trade deficit in the united states but that is exactly where we come into negotiation not coming out with very outrageous you know supposition as we saw in the aluminum steel deal or the likelihood of the old to

a deal that's coming up to raise tax from two point five percent to twenty five percent the problem here on the steel aluminum and possibly on the auto side that's coming is that there is no rationale behind his argument at all this is where it is basically shaving off the appetite of many of these coalition countries to help the united states because of course we do need a very strong cohesiveness if we are going to see any kind of financial system break down which some people are suggesting yeah so this is again something that we really have to work on and america might be in has to really wake up mr robertson it is because the other countries don't believe that there is a rationale behind the policy that they are planning to take their case to the world trade organization bought them off areas that the w.t.r. body what she is a pales might not actually be able to function because the u.s.

has resisted new appointments to that body. that's correct and in fact one of the positive outcomes if you were going to look at what might come out of this g seven meeting would be if the leaders including donald trump were to agree to say yes we still need the w t o as as the both the place for discussion but also its role now is the kind of arbitration body and you the president i's states have got to agree now to the appointment of more judges on that appellate body that's important that could be a potential outcome of that should be and asked by the other leaders president trump that would be constructive i think increasingly we've got the leaders are now going to have to try and find constructive solutions to the problems that mr trump is raising so certainly populism is there there is a sense that trade as only benefited the few so the progressive trade agenda that justin trudeau is bringing forward which says already there's going to be adjustment policies there's got to be.
