world trade organization and its need for reform can really help at al-jazeera when a sari's the white house says that's amazing with china highly successful after both sides agreed to hold off on new trade tariffs adrian brown has more reaction from beijing. well the governments of both china and the united states are putting a positive spin on the outcome of these talks but this is not a deal it is a truce a temporary cease fire because the white house is still warning that if after the ninety day period there is still no agreement between china and the united states on their many trade issues then the united states will impose tariffs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods that's on top of terrorists that already apply to two hundred fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods now the chinese foreign minister wang ye has says that he hopes it can be more exchanges and visits between the two sides just before the talks president xi jinping said he
8:05 am
was very happy to be meeting president donald trump and the best option for china and the united states was cooperation but there remains a fundamental areas of disagreement between these two sides especially in the area of force technology transfer and the fact that the united states says that u.s. companies that want to do business here in china have to enter into fifty fifty joint venture arrangements and then hand over their know how the united states is saying that has to stop there is one area though i think where president xi jinping is unlikely to yield and that concerns his industrial policy known as made in china twenty twenty five this is his aim to make china a world leader in technologies of the future things like artificial intelligence and robotics but the united states is saying that china will do this by heavily subsidizing the companies involved and it says that has to stop president xi

8:07 am
turkey has adopted a very determined attitude which is help disclosed the so sure we have never seen this as a political issue and shall never do so for us this incident was a horrendous act of murder and shall remain so the canadian prime minister said he also raised the motto when he came face to face with the saudi royal i also. spoke directly to the crown prince to highlight our concerns and our need for better answers on the killing of to show. and also the need for an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian aid to go to yemen which is the largest humanitarian catastrophe going on in the world right now and is a subject that we brought up repeatedly in various conversations as the pressure grows in the u.s. to take firm action against saudi arabia at a port in a u.s. newspaper the wall street journal claims to seen details of eleven messages the
8:08 am
saudi royal sent his closest adviser who oversaw the so-called hit team. the newspaper says this led the cia america's intelligence agency to conclude mohammed bin someone likely ordered the murder but america's secretary of state says they still stand by the crown prince i have read every piece of intelligence that is in the possession of the united states government and when it is done when you complete that analysis there is no direct evidence linking him to the murder of jamal khashoggi the saudi crown prince was never going to be ignored or shunned by the gathering of the world's twenty largest economies there are diplomatic niceties to be observed the real test will be in weeks to come as countries reexamine their relationship with saudi arabia and the man who is effectively in charge. at the g twenty. well following the g twenty trump announced he will dismantle
