made a state visit to morocco that year. germany lost 8000000 citizens to world war 2 and faced the post-war years with a severe manpower shortage. to rebuild germany needed men and negotiated guest worker agreements with countries across southern europe and by the mid 1960 s. morocco and tunisia. shift. a german off to nissin descent. i've been a spiritual guide to many arabs who came from north africa since the 1960 s. . but that. is. the statement from my.

mother. janet. how many. people better than what i can actually had from. home is a myth and we already have in this but. what i can. be dead when i go and. when i'll be. home. and how we year. when. i thought coffee been especially the congeal of the fee.

and how. it was small local tunisian and then. he wouldn't. name a. guest by it was intent on straight but as. this one took less. than half for. the indian. to see. me. in and took one out of an. issue of large scale immigration to germany has become a national discussion. even in the countries vos museums so. well at home in the villages these torsional you know we here at the exhibition multicultural chair meet the country from the creation we have in germany

a very emotional discussion about the creation. since the beginning germany was a country of human creation and here we want to show the the creations from the fifty's up to now he see a little bit how people were coming how they would see fit and how what was the view from the german side as well on these guest workers who are coming. already in the sixty's. germany have the same to cream in a cream and with with my rocor and 2 music right with turkey so that came already as well and from tunisia as well but basically from morocco guest workers it passed a little bit a notice. me train with them so you know it was some whole invisible but it is interesting for me also to see how people tried and i'm dame try to do to involve themselves in that political movement to ask for that rights and. that is what we

wanted to show here as well that the my quince were in tears like then it's not something that you only can talk about but that you have to wants to you know so we show on this side we showed we have here an opposition that has won the voice of the microns and here as well the wards of. the discussion in the german society with all the fees and. prejudice and already in the in the in the eighty's the ship is full and here we have a i think that it's fascinating. character to chose the current dorm the cathedral in cologne surrounded by minarets so representing the fear of a completely overwhelming that. movement in germany and that is from 1986. despite islamophobia dating back decades the overall attitude towards foreigners in

germany's is still inclusive in the mass in the i'm yet stiffish thing and mustn't have the sheens in on us for fairly here and sylvester gave him how to shoot him with a stack of kept that issue on and it also would a game like that. but i took the words of it 0 text up and see it. in 2015 frank walter steinmeier germany's foreign minister explained to government critics that with a shrinking workforce and an aging population the german economy needed the manpower refugees could provide. german trains are a lifeline in my search for fellow arabs across this process country.

analyst and. maddy allaire we came to cologne to study sociology in 1902 he's an activist trying to stop deportations of young arabs and the aftermath of the cologne new year's eve events close to 20 have already been deported and 2 arrested. yeah yeah yeah. about there that ordeal and the money at about. the what the world knew about me at the bat. oh. yeah. the queen. and how could. i think there's we have done. what the cable done in.

his. maties words reflect my own belief that our exile may be rooted in our nation's lack of democratic rights and responsibilities. in the small town of cobain's just outside cologne a syrian refugee couple have settled in the countryside. i want to know how they are doing out there in the german woods. and you know sort of. in the way in farsi. the only new. you can. house. in the literature are somehow.

so my us spent several months and then i parked in cologne and hated it. in my d.n.a. can i say about her for. a moment as i'm a minute hasn't been diminished raffle and. how does she ever get for money back. what good and. good he is saudi you submit. that was the one what i had on hand in seattle on monday. abdullah and so may have differing views on raising their daughter and the possibility of returning to syria one can if it could be only young to thomas and men team lottery although most of the old men get hello i'm

beardless i'm numb to simulate most the hate missile i'm on in canada that most of the. pleasant when i'm i'm a. doctor gabby viber is a german physician and one of the founders of cafe palestina a cultural organization promoting arab and palestinian issues in the southern city of high book when she found out about my newspaper she invited me to come and meet members of the arab community there including her own family. i'm glad gaby speaks very good english because for me doing an interview in german is still

very difficult. so you see we have all different kinds of things people from the region they are selling their products and. you know they work in the field steering that we can this is the ok show for them to to come and so also to make some profit and people love to come here because the atmosphere is very special. and i want you to think of it palestine we have been let's say there were times where we have been between 5 and 10 women who are doing a lot of things in 6 years we did more than $1.00 to $120.00 events and here is the . hands. of people. so i decided.

that this is. gabby introduces me to a german palestinian i'm going to gyptian friend over coffee in this 5 book market cafe. the mystery of what happened to germany's earlier our community is about to unravel before my eyes. i mean how dad was born in germany to a palestinian father and a german colombian mother and in the comfort of god beaver's garden he explains his relationship with his our a parrot it's the nice thing about it is that my father was able to transmit through music his love and his appreciation to his own culture so it was really always a living the arabic culture is very emotionally attached and with the food and with this nice combination of sharing community food music art. that was basically you

know i'm able to feel like an arab feel like yourself american or feel like a european like a german of course my name sometimes they would make a little bit fun because it's like me asylum mia you know the salami you know exempt kids would say something about it but i was laughing at it too i mean i made the best of his multi ethnic heritage his experience gives me hope. get his daughter marry mark you like is also another half german half arab child of an earlier our immigrant life and that's in german you know. dish but. in this especially as a main. mission you don't fit into a film a sewer palestinians are. published you know. and you also.

so mind leaves. some except sasha they are so as our goal is to go till. the last session i have i let mine of 4 and then and i'm just fine i was often a huge. on to shut me off rising food but i shouted stunt of the eye and said to me that's. my palestinian i. unlike you i mean you maybe i'm faced considerable prejudiced at school. or museum dr he's been on all cylinders and i wasn't just made me spend it into the can to come nate's mine if i'm needed here. on my momma's it's not so how's a soviet dispiriting endorsement is. on s.s.

man i'm ahmad on a storage shed so money. is spent at a listen are done his image asked. the difficulties maybe i'm faced growing up here gave me pause for thought. i'm beginning to realize that the journey of germany's iris has a times been a painful one. how was it for you it was difficult i think it started at that time already this picture of. people who are not. being fanatics like today also. what made it difficult for me was. fear of not. trying to manipulate and influence. in time to kick me out

of the house. and. it was very heavy of want to go to children they have a name i think. first and last thing which was also a big problem for my parents they wanted them to be have to german last name at least and. big names their names they live in germany. they should consider being germans it makes it not easy for them as well sometimes in school or even if they apply for jobs and so. they can have a disadvantage of course with. santa mokhtar came to germany in 1800 to train as a psychotherapist his motives father and gabby's ex-husband. what you saw the

miners are money on and money out there yet when i look. in the match from which the amount of money said then. i'm a look at how the. money. side got nearly a sob marriage and i can at the nest more than a few know what i'm at the top of a father and i asked him how he perceives the identity of his children a sort of. surged yanni in the kind of. money at the powell on a very small. amount of money is good but the late get better. delivered. abductions killings and unanswered questions we don't know what happened so we

can't heal faultlines investigates why native american women are vanishing in disproportionate numbers in the us the search. for missing and murdered indigenous women. on al-jazeera are still searching. the work is. the most memorable moment of al-jazeera was when i was on air as hosni mubarak fell with the crowds in tahrir square talking. to. if something happens anywhere in the world al jazeera is in place we're able to cover this like no other news organization. were able to do it properly. that is our strength. but i am a fish every week the news cycle brings a series of breaking stories and then of course there's donald trump told through the eyes of the world's journalists that's right out of

a hamas script that calls for the annihilation of israel that is not what that phrase means at all he joined the listening post as we turned the cameras on the media and focused on how they were caught on the stories that matter the most him better use a free palestine a listening post on al-jazeera. oh i'm mariama mozzie in london a brief look at the headlines now u.s. president donald trump has described trade talks with china as candid and constructive despite attempts to stop a trade war ending without any agreement chinese negotiations have been in washington for 2 days of talks but they left friday's meeting much sooner than expected that came after trump talks of adding even more tariffs on chinese imports

our white house correspondent kimberly hellcats has more there's still is optimism but there is less optimism that there was say 4 or 5 hours ago the feeling was that there was still a window of opportunity but as we are reporting those talks seemed to end abruptly ending just before lunchtime local time here in washington when they had been expected to go all day even into the night. the united nations is saying around $65.00 migrants have drowned while trying to reach europe from libya after that boat capsized in the mediterranean it comes as a tally and authorities have seized a charity boat which rescued 30 refugees and migrants off the libyan coast it's a he says the boat was seized for aiding and abetting human trafficking. well some news from yemen the united nations saying that the rebels have agreed to unilaterally withdraw all their forces from 3 ports over the next 4 days as part of a un brokered peace deal which i aimed to allow aid to flow in and out of data the

rebels in saudi u.a.e. backed forces had initially agreed to withdraw their forces from the city by january of this year but that never happened. in all the developments a saudi ship has sailed from france without taking off its cargo weapons off to protest is trying to have it's called a declared illegal by its group say the weapons shipment contravenes international arms treaties over the use in the saudi military campaign in yemen. the u.s. has imposed sanctions on 2 shipping companies involved in trade with venezuela in direct response to the arrest of a garzon brand of the vice president of venezuela's national assembly has been put in a military prison on treason charges the french government has paid tribute to 2 french soldiers killed during a nighttime hostage rescue and became a fast cedric to. the cello were among a group of soldiers who rescued 4 missing civilians much more for you in the news hour that's coming up in 25 minutes time the new germans

continues see a bit later by now. the end of. the story of gabby said imodium has made me more curious. i want to know if other arab german families have faced similar pressures and challenges. let me. go to the back of what. point. do you have an invite sighting of. all the auburn i know websites. in tight spots and yes a lot of b. is a friend of his and he came to germany as a business student from syria nearly 6 decades ago and. we are only therapy it is slimy your mom or. your muslim or whatever has put.

mine on american thought so. do i feel blessed by. a little more i ask about how he raised his children. to earn. their 400 mostly when i was young we've been little thought that the really might be our for how to be too. young. to mark his 50th year in germany yes and in all of the both a $4000.00 euro advertisement in local newspapers thanking germany for welcoming him 5 decades earlier and for granting him citizenship the army side on the issue are. enormous so visuals of money a government. sometimes i feel each one of the half a 1000000 arabs who came to germany before us has had a different experience another just different feelings towards their adopted homeland. since the exodus from syria and iraq in particular the arab population in

germany has tripled. it's very difficult for us to go back to our countries because our people there they haven't been this this long way with us so in the monsoon i was born to egyptian and lebanese parents and came here after marrying a german 45 years ago she grew up speaking french and the shy to express herself an arabic always kept the contact with with my culture with my people so they feel very it is and always said they say immediately i'm german but my mother comes from it's a very proud of it my goal was always to see the good show the good side of the arab so that i accept that the music the literature the good man who was bitterly to we have so many nice things so why only show those those ugly things in believes the

hijab does not belong in germany although i'm not pious i disagree with her my mother is muslim and when i saw my mother sleeping for example in my place and i have friend and my place and i see her his job somehow like when. i cover her because this is how she wants to be it's her right to be as she likes to be in egypt you would see one woman dressed with jeunes and the next sister with the hijab i don't thank you very in that country they do what they want it's here which is why because the eye of the other the eye of the other scare me i say that we're stuck putting us they would say see how they're like this and that's not what i don't like and i don't want them to look at this like this. i cannot teach the people how to be smug if they want to put all of us in one focus and once through a time it's their proppants not mine i'm different everyone is different she wants

to be with you will work well think about the many just said you know the manhole i like this or so i think you know those that if it will go and for this and that. and those paper but don't think scared me. on my way to the train station i find that my taxi driver is iraq. or has lived in germany for 30 years. he reluctantly agrees to an interview but only if we don't show his face it's not up to me to form a new meaning and lacking that when one is seen to be sure when it came up on peaceful intentions. like an understudy it could be that. the top is minus 12 yet in the other kind j.p.l. won the senate seat and no one has said that. can it come up with

a lot of the last name you find. and start with the no one son who acts out of me. and so what about insanity or bad guys and i look can see in iraq and not enough to see. that when i do most of the play out on that side. for them if i can log on. to that gets on a planet and. germany now has over 1500000 arabs living in it 16 federal states that's close to 2 percent of their population not a lot but enough to. you notice. the older generation of immigrants appear to have assimilated. their children for the most part also assimilate but those who have

and are suffering. many germans seem to be on the fence about how they feel about this. indignity 9. hours here and i have a feeling that's an hour before bush to move us and that's in the moment as monday mentioned it's anscombe or the depot blame and. then ends it. is islamic should be able to only me run on someone's it and its disputed leader the size dimension. of the talking it in its own eyes mostly does most monstrous day in and then proceed at last into scientists is prescient and a slimy zeal nish in islam and someone here decided to try to to to get on the turkish. that are really curious this is snitched stealing their faith or. even my sins they call our lights decision until they get in fights. mostly in the

sweat on the litigants you won't either. from this came in the oval office or which the low indeed. that's emitted early go on mine i ignore collective you didn't intend on the president to get off to moan. germany's most prominent citizen of our heritage works for one of germany's largest t.v. networks born here to iraq in physicians don't you hire is a national celebrity and was voted germany's journalist of the year in 2016. if underfund dar bought us for to live eason 2 might be asked to meet me got zones for a bite in a friendly 5 different enough and present it and if the octomom ibrahim of india might be might my beamish on the management of one in 5 don't know about which does the how much as it climbed just voiced or about us my mind would often that it was

of course. there was a as a or your host gunderson us or what we had to him on the scope often by those as not really a mess of items on certain vaska with no i mean if one owns it had to impose on guns and kind of this community should cite did this community all come to gets. i'm set if bynum's i deem it in focus been. mention a mere and i'm i'm up has a one on and on my hotel room. i didn't so exclaimed f.i.o.s. don't you made headlines when she responded to racist hate mail by correcting the german grammar in the letter and posting it on facebook that might come off the ends i. am so obvious in the entire guitar. scintillation of must never be allowed to go on but owned up by the money. or in the absence of will sign in

a mass destruction bank and thus make some. sort lest by money biased like this in. order my human for the 2 or one voted off i am unfair to vote through this goodbye to office thing going on and on and. on the public not really fight it and it's been even type higher it's been though it has been of all if it's just blue does to mine i've been fleeced. time. donia lives in a multicultural neighborhood with many established arab citizens most of whom have built successful lives but now many germans associate them with the new refugees and jetstar to flourish plus yet forgiveness. under-cooked oxy bad. disc they did it or not. yeah.

by. lifting a. mom and i miss cup what i love. is a disco cup put us some good in the mix so torn us it's a feel a lot of the thoughts on come on. wow the stuff me. the old immigrant turning against the new refugees. is right. happening but it is. come to dresden in the former east germany for a meeting with anti-racist activists. it's my 1st time in this part of the country. expected the grey sat city but found something

very different dresden was a center of german culture. germany's revolutionary priest martin luther came from this part of germany he was the founder of protestantism which began as a protest movement for social equality. my refugee solidarity meeting is in the technical school of the university of dresden. blub is the 1st arabic newspaper in germany it's for the arabic speakers here the newcomers and settled also but we have a lot of followers on facebook by 50000 people and our past. there is no r.c. translation of the right notes for us i mean we are group of syrian and arab so we

don't speak unfortunately these activists are well intentioned but dealing with arab refugees is as new to them as dealing with german activists is for me. on one side there was one of these stupid questions for which came up always in the newspapers are trying to get to discussions how much money does a refute you get already rich richer gets more money. than the hots feel. that a good person hurts for receivers are welfare recipients they give their claims that the german government spends more money on a refugee than on a poor german. the fact is refugees and hurts for recipients both get $400.00 euros per person per month. he still says he will be you can.

say the state says the good news no they. it's monday night in dresden near the beautiful square showcasing the cultural glory of germany's past 6 weeks thank you does the growing right wing movement claims a spark to protest against the government of i'm going to merkel who they regard as the principal enabler for the istomin is a ship of germans. i . i. i. figure the supporters are renowned for their hatred of the press and the police presence is partly to protect the journalists but he was willing to explain what was going on and why is he it's mine how do i get because it's good movie can go on those 2 years shall

play both leave me having it up see i knew bill wolfie he could leave because she wanted me to buy should be out stylists who are you you need to go on. as he is saw the assumed fast and you could see because. i live police just robot tied the 1st of the dog. scindia fired on me and i was covered under us for peanuts or disease i thought i was going to use of leave the on for good school as in so noisy for going on stupid said was the mission mentioned on. fox does these unmentioned nish in on so-called tool so in t v and soon a does moving feel a mention of years in does history get out of line. and you mention does he he it's good to does the bacon is even more gustavus not so it doesn't kind of be a nazi disease got some olive grove was. joyce did i'm fucked us once again. plots and. does he like as

a shot in schism that he cut his young. dead dog jots on b.c. and deny somebody contact here that the paper. was at hand was. you needn't even be able to but mention d.-day in india in one of those protests there must now and then also things you can plug in happening is that you come to an finishing time in all this it's boys aren't. making sure that.

almost half the people in this berlin neighborhood are middle eastern. it's been this way for decades so like that or so you can so no but the oneness or love song so i love models that are the sort of the sort of fellow so others who are of color a lot of those are sort of my guess is you want to build on the ground are going to france and. yet he says soriano was in life and good for nothing. came to germany to look for work via italy where his family lives he says muslims face discrimination across europe. muslim and i. know you are going to miss the moon as you does this way. because ana winds are sure you are looking into another q i was wondering who it was who. ruled the

world is that the book of the good and. i go to a newly opened syrian restaurant to see how hard it is for newcomers to find work. however still the students at the bottom of the on the floor just a little more out of the out of the right look out toward. the middle of how they had to live all that not something else like i want to thank my lawn with enough for her i think the one i want the world to have the man or myself in the same. somebody had the book it was i want it and now i'm going to give up i was about it with my mom the cloud that was going up over innocent all over differ but then the story of one of the populace not listening to school for some of your floor with you for most of the day. it's municipal election season in berlin and all the major parties except the right wing a have have come to there's a $210.00 mosque annoy could to woo arab voters as it's money and then when you

hear the kids she will i'm going to make you sick in my position from ridicule including planting the most of only themes. in school just one of the nice things edition. since michigan east of. he. didn't eat he skipped the instrument the young the. fish to eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat even if it was he just look into it it's easy to. be. with most of them fit into combat. at the queen my dorm where. they said and i think off into the office

yessir. i mean this with and without a complaint about the male part of considering the amount of shit. and let me. into a bit of business but in the home it's a kid i'm stuck with him for i know you're can almost say moon feel intelligent koan in with you. but i don't wish that of course yes. be is politicized to the cuff in holland in funk you need to learn to read in denmark . and you can even human simitis one of them wants a new one for so many see it then get until it's for garnished and come in dutch and ellis move your pussy and couldn't do much and.

this is one of germany's famous welcome part. held in berlin as a way to get germans and refugees together. the merkel government was seeing they needed manpower for the work force were also aware of their humanitarian responsibilities something reflected in the actions of many ordinary german citizens. sanitizing the gathered commitment to the end of the outline of this invasion though not a follow up in demands for that if this is not just an money and that what dish i'm qualified to come but i'm too hot head for the hand of the current wearing a different path than one of the other candidate will be at a hey you're gonna have to have something to eat and have the guts of the country she's strong but i'm not a cynic that's right. eat

. eat. my trip across germany has been an emotional roller coaster. meeting early arab immigrants who are found their peace as well as those still searching to balance their multiple identities. i met germans who have welcomed us. all those who fear us. and those who study us. and perhaps by coincidence i wrap up my journey at the german celebration of their own history. as germany is full of surprises.

i i i. feel. it is here from this musician but i learned how arbs and germans have been linked

for over a 1000 years. once you just want to. play with the other disciplines yeah that's comedian yeah something about. this kid this. selfish of him. less this man. who nothing but often doesn't get something a little piece of music if you go on for months. now that's come out and salsa was on it once took 40 cure hinson top of ford in this city oh not into almost that was the constant earthly good. not liking for food liking the intro is thursday's off my deal making quite soon. post in a non new not too good of you to which i like to think just diviners and come off the constant installment of. i'm left cautiously optimistic that one day germans will see arabs as a positive threat then the fabric of german society. between new immigrants would

find more than a refuge. but for those of us who wish to remain. will one day become our homes. we've got some quotes weather coming into southeastern parts of australia over the next couple of days we've had some rather blustery storms recently this little area of cloud here that's an area of low pressure which brought some very strong winds some high flooding rains for

a time across parts of victoria just to the west of melbourne. melbourne's south bank where we saw some really heavy rain recently there has been some flash flooding to the west of melbourne and even some snow over the mountains for good measure quotes weather comes back in as we go through saturday lossy settled in sunny breezy wind that's still going to be there just around the east coast of victoria into new south wales elsewhere across australia is fine and dry for the sunshine coming through a more sunshine as we go on into sunday i think squatting down into the southeast and cold as a 16 or 17 celsius for adelaide and for melbourne the cloud on the right that's making its way towards new zealand doesn't let you get here over the next couple of days lots of cloud piling into the south ali and i'll make his way further race with day turning increasingly west as we go on through the day it will cloud over 19 celsius for oakland on saturday afternoon make the most of it this was sunday looks like lots of friday and driving wins.

who things should do this and 6 months on they haven't done it yet they now say they're going to do it in the coming hours from the elevons just a few hours from now to start redeploying going on and till the 14th it's no coincidence that the next meeting of the un security council is jiu on the 15th the security council putting a great deal of pressure on the who thies i think losing some patience with the who thiis of course i think this is a time when the process is at some risk because having made this big announcement the un there is a big problem of course of the who these don't do it this time it could collapse the whole process there are also some problems of what happens next in who data who is going to govern the territory that the who these withdraw for from according to the stockholm deal it's going to be local security forces that is somewhat problematic i can tell you there are members of the security council discussing the

idea of some of those u.n. monitors perhaps going in as advisors to some of those local security forces to take command of the situation that at this stage is not just an idea it's not in any way agreed by anyone at this stage remember too that of course we're talking only about the deal for who date or the other ports near it not a wider political solution for yemen there has been tons some talk about future negotiations on this even venue's mention for example germany or kuwait but i think it's worth putting this in context it's taken the who thiis the best part of 6 months to get near to withdrawing from data remember what they also control which is large swathes of the north of yemen including the capital sanaa james bays any and thanking. all in all the developments

citizens do not act we don't try to stop this we will end excess result of this business we don't want this we don't want to be in this situation on. the 4 year long war in yemen has displaced more than 3000000 people and their strikes by the saudi led coalition forces have killed tens of thousands of civilians several european countries now refused to sell arms to saudi because of that but france the world's 3rd biggest arms exporter says it's received guarantees from the saudis this off it isn't going to be on your computer the majority of the arms that have been sold a used within the territory or at the border nevertheless i would like to say here the what we reiterated was the guarantee for them not to be used against civilian populations it's a position that human rights groups say is untenable or. secure. we can't trust those words why. because the story keeps changing we were told the arms

were only used for defensive purposes and all of a sudden we're being told we never said there weren't any french weapons being used in yemen we said we didn't have proof that french weapons were used to kill civilians so france's word is jibberish we cannot trust what they say then without warning the body young departed without its controversial cargo ship tracking websites sure the vessel got under way just before 10 g.m.t. on friday heading not full a half but for the spanish port of suntan death the question now has the shipment been counseled or is the french government simply going to send it via another route paul brennan al-jazeera. 2 days of talks to end a full blown trade war between the united states and china have come to an end in washington with no breakthrough chinese negotiators left friday's meeting much sooner than expected a few hours ago this after president all trumped high tariffs on chinese imports and said he was in no hurry for a deal alan fischer port's now from washington. says

a deal was close until the chinese broke it so in came new turn as he believes will lead to a better deal i happen to think that tariffs for a country. a very powerful you know with a piggy bank that everybody steals from including china the white house issued a statement from the president saying hiking tide of some 10 to 25 percent on 250000000000 dollars worth of goods means china piece a lot more money directly into the u.s. treasury but that's not how tired of swak they will drive up prices on our own 6 those and i tunes america imports from china from washing machines to steal from food we have to fish importers pay the tab of the costs almost always passed on to the customer. gets parts for a south carolina bike shop from china he's already added $20.00 to the cost of a new machine we don't know how we perceive that china is paying for this we're

paying for it and it's been passed on to our customers one tree group says for a family of 4 they'll be paying $767.00 more a year because the increased costs tired of spring it's just frustrating because you just know that most politicians aren't familiar with what it's like to live every day you know in the middle class you had to juggle what you can afford and which you can't afford and a lot of people can't even do that donald trump says a tough negotiation brings a better deal in american manufacturing might benefit as companies turn away from high priced chinese goods. to chinese or retaliating of one sector being hit is u.s. farming both sides are under pressure to do a deal on the world's 2 biggest economies have a problem with each other and the potential is there for the rest of the world to feel the pain alan fischer al-jazeera washington let's get more from rosling jordan who is following the story for us from washington and of course president trump is

arguing that his tough approach to china is going to benefit the u.s. economy but what's been the reaction. well pretty much any economist who has been asked about this says that on this point the u.s. president is wrong the money that is being imposed in the form of new tariffs on chinese made goods is not going into the u.s. treasury it's actually being factored into the cost of those goods that are now being shipped from china to the united states as a for a one g.m.t. friday that means very simply that the increase in that products cost is going to be paid by the u.s. consumer and every economist who has been asked about this during this past week mario has said that this very well could affect the growth of the u.s. economy because consumer spending makes up about 70 percent of the u.s. g.d.p.

and if consumers see that the products that they're used to buying are much more expensive 25 percent more expensive they're not going to buy those products or they're going to look a little harder and see if they can try to get the product made in another country that's rather difficult because the u.s. imports so much of its consumer goods from china and so this could very well into having a negative impact on the u.s. economy just as the presidential campaign season is really shifting into high gear here in the united states. that's right president trump is bound to think that his position will help him with 2020 but what about the deal itself because obviously they're a fears of just a long. all out trade war now between the world's 2 largest economies can anything be salvaged from this process that they still broken down. well put we

have heard is that at least there is one report suggesting that the talks themselves are not over that there will be another meeting between u.s. and chinese trade officials in beijing the date has yet to be determined so from that sense they're still talking to each other and even donald trump suggested on friday that he could roll back these new tariffs sense implied and so quickly to have them imposed but the question is how soon could that happen and how soon will u.s. and chinese negotiators be meeting once again it doesn't seem as if the process has been torched full whole whole scale but it does mean that this process of trying to get a trade deal between the 2 countries something that seemed almost completed a week ago.
