8:02 pm
has been terrific china responded within minutes of the announcement vowing to retaliate with penalties on the same scale a statement released by the chinese commerce ministry says china is unwilling to have a trade war but the chinese side has no choice but to strongly oppose this due to the united states myopic behavior that will harm both parties and fissures lifeless at the white house allan trump seems to be saying everything is still fine but isn't this next collation. it is china had been confused about exactly what the white house is going to do don't trump has been talking about this for a while he compiled the less that would be for tariffs last month steve mission has the treasury secretary said no the war is on hold donald trump then countermanded him by saying that's not the case and now he's decided that he's going to go ahead with the status which is essentially an extra tax on certain goods that are coming in to the country the industries that are most likely to be hit or are going to be most hit are automotive the tech sector i grew culture and also the aerospace
8:03 pm
industry and so those are all industries that china was trying to build up part of its china twenty twenty five program to get a march on some of its economic rivals but there are those who see this isn't a good idea quite simply because of the world's two biggest economies getting ready to go head to head in a trade war no the first tranche of these tariffs will be imposed on july the sixth the chinese have already said look if that goes ahead then immediately we're going to impose our own tariffs and in response to that the americans have said well we've got another list and we will put them into place really just as quickly so this is a row that is not going to suddenly disappear but it is donald trump very much delivering on a campaign promise you'll remember when he was on the campaign trail when he got into the white house has been talking about the difference between chinese trade and american trade even in singapore he said the difference is that i want to get
8:04 pm
at least to that and singapore may be the key to this is well because china has always been in place and always regarded by the united states as a restraining influence on north korea the fact that he's no bill up this relationship may make him think that i don't really need china here so he's got a bit bolder on trade and you mention delivering on a campaign promise says that might satisfy some of his his base but can do trade war also be quite damaging to trump domestically. well donald trump obviously believes that he's going to win any trade war he has said that he said it would be good for the united states here's the difficulty republicans are normally free traders they believe in the market with talents they believe in the global market as well if in a couple of months we start to see difficulties particularly in states that reply only rely on agriculture and pig farming which just happen to be states that the chinese would target and surprise surprise states where donald trump did very well
