present donald trump sonny haven't seen eye to lie on a range of issues over the last a year or so but they put aside their political differences in order to pay tribute to the veterans that attended this d.-day ceremony and to remember the thousands of soldiers americans canadians british and french and many other nationalities who died in this operation in order to liberate not just from the spots of the rest of europe from the clutches of a nazi power now it might call and double trouble both gave speeches at a very moving ceremony at the colleville so a mass cemetery where a more than 1000 american servicemen and women all buried a donald trump the sometimes chooses these occasions to inject some of his a personal opinions actually stayed on message if you like and he just recalled the history of the occasion the courage of the bravery of some of those troops and i know my call though chose to reiterate his belief in multi-lateralism now that

something that has put him at odds with donald trump over the past year and donald trump's america 1st post see him at all michael recalled the importance of international institutions something that donald trump has often criticized non-division me says in the film we must never allow the alliance of free peoples to die that's what the victors did as soon as germany and japan capitulated when they created the united nations it's what the united states did when they created nato it's what european leaders did a few years later when they created the european union we must refine the meaning of the promise of normandy we must seize again this and gauge meant what we owe to our country what we owe to our alliance of states that share the same values democracy and freedom. well markhor and trump elect the ceremony to attend a luncheon car the main city in normandy and they held talks now the elisei has been putting something of a positive spin on it saying that you know the u.s.

is not wavering ally and perhaps seeing these talks as a way of resetting reviving this strained relationship the 2 discussed issues such as iran a climate change they talked about trade they talked about what they call terrorism but it's clear there are many differences between the 2 we know that the french leader is frustrated with donald trump for pulling the united states out of the climate deal out of the iran deal we know that donald trump wants european members of nato to up their defense spending budget and there's a real bone of contention a real contentious issue on the table as well as well in these talks and that is trade because either you us we go she is supposed to be starting on some form of a new trade deal but imagine all michael says that he believes that europe should be entering into into any trade discussions with the united states until the united states puts proper environmental policy on the table ok natasha butler joining us there live from norman say thanks very much indeed. let's take you back to our top

story that is of course the sudan crisis the african union have of course suspended sudan's membership and threatened sanctions against those responsible for that violent crackdown against protesters well adama gaye is a journalist and african affairs analyst he joins us now from london thank you so much for talking with us here on al-jazeera i guess my 1st question is what difference is this action by the african union likely to make. these issues that the african union is putting action into its threats since the downfall on april 11th of former president and bushy the african union has been acting like tools less bulldog 13 in the military the of action against them but not realizing that the fact that this week

on monday over 108 people have been killed in 500 wounded in the military cut down even though the military saying it's less that number that forced the african union to pass towards action in order to make in practice what it preaches because since. you submit depleted to some of the african union african union is against a military coup in the management of the constitutional affairs of the african countries so the fact that this is a form of lower level low scale genocide happen this monday force the international community from the united nations the u.s. and other big. upturns in the international community to condemn the rule of the military into land and that israel was compelled to act and said absolutely

there has been quite a lot of condemnation of certainly lots of lots of threats lots of consternation from many international action actors rather very little in the way of concrete action taken now that the e.u. has expanded sudan i mean just how much sway a side point to hold with the with the ruling military genser are they going to care at all that they've been expelled from the african union or there is no don't tell us what makes them tick. they cannot dismiss the collective condemnation the suffering from the international community and from within by this civil society that is still strong in its a determination to run the country i do believe that at the end of the day the military will realize that their days are numbered and they have to quick to allow a transition led by the civilian after all if this change happened in sudan is to

because the sudanese facing difficult times with the price increase in bread and other commodities was 1st to go to the street and face a brutal ruthless to redeem that of mr bush if they manage to get it down i'm sure that the remnant of jim would be forced out it's their own interest to understand that instead of allowing the international community and the local civilian people in sudan to come to gether to make them definitely part of the sort of this government has been. always. forced to act that we if you recall in the past their attack against the gender we and swear were eliminated when the international community came and decided to go after the 1st 40 including by such learning is a strong supporters like the chinese are one point of time when at one point even

the united states and others threatened not to attend the bidding war and big games in 100-2008 that was really a turning point i think what happened was just getting of people this is another turning point and the military they have to lead the international community's call and the african union called for really a shift transfer to power the civilians credit but if i may i mean how likely do you think this is a scenario given that the military have nothing to gain by handing over power and everything to gain by staying where they are. and they certainly have allies and of i have a good they can that they consider the life they can escape the international criminal court they know that they're a part of a i think it's their own interest to be so much to accept that their time is over the time when you rule people by force by giving them even in good years and other part of the world even is the r.c. democratic republic of congo ruthless redeemed every force out mr mugabe has been

forced out why would they want to. the bone by trying to maintain themselves when sanctions can be imposed on them in a country that is its economy could be weakened it's a fan state economically and you cannot continue to run the country on a 2nd or base that's all but at the time ok and i'm ok great to get your thoughts thanks very much for joining us that live from london thank you. there's lots more still to come on the news hour including the man believed to be germany's most prolific post-war serial killer is jailed for life. and in sports the toronto raptors made a step closer to an historic title when. he was president on a trump is calling for mexico to take more action to curb migration at the southern

u.s. border officials from both sides will continue trade talks in washington on thursday in an effort to strike a deal that would satisfy trump well he's threatened see impose tariffs on mexico if it does not limits the flow of migrants and the mexican president andrus money will lopez obrador says reaching an agreement is in the best interests of both countries. i think a lot of rock with me yes we're making a lot of mexico you. can make you for many many years on with me to get the only thing that could make you happy or on the you know you may be on the step with that step up to the plate and they will see they could solve the problem. well we have 2 reporters covering this still developing story for you this hour john holeman is in mexico city he'll bring us the reaction from president obrador but we'll begin with kimberly whole kit is at the white house for reaction there kimberly ongoing

threats from the u.s. for monday is the deadline just how serious are they. very serious and that is how it's being viewed here in washington the latest after a day of talks on wednesday talks again resuming on thursday we know that there will be staff level talks starting at around 18 g.m.t. here at the white house there's a lot of concern particularly from donald trump's own party that the president is going to make good on his threats to put in place tariffs on mexican goods to the united states starting next week 5 percent with increases of 5 percent every month 6 going up to potentially 25 percent the view of the trumpet ministration reiterated by the vice president mike pence is that talks so far have been positive but mexico needs to do more the time has come for mexico to act decisively to bring what this administration calls a crisis of illegal migration mostly from central america crossing through mexico

often without a transit to trumpet ministrations position is that mexico needs to change that now for its part mexico has been making overtures it during these talks we are told to demonstrate that it is doing something to stop the flow of migration but the concern here is that these tariffs will go into place and republicans members of the president's own party believe not only could that hurt american consumers american businesses but also potentially isn't even legal because the president says he would use emergency powers to put in place these tariffs a lot of questions about whether or not this can even happen even as the president continued to double down on his threats at one point today even calling tariffs a beautiful thing ok came to the whole in the white house thank you very much indeed let's move from one president see the other john holmes in mexico city john what's the reaction been this morning so what the mexican president had to say.

well in his morning prayer presidential press conference president lopez obrador again streit struck a tone and which he said the president trumpet his administration about hating well in not closing up to dialogue and not closing up to negotiations on this but there seemed to be a slightly different tone and that he called for an event of his own for this weekend as you hear from him now. i'm calling all the mexican people from all classes sectors and cultures to rally in defense of mexican dignity and in favor of friendship with the people of the united states who do this. so it's quite significant that that's happening in one of because it's one of the busiest contains one of the busiest langue crossing points in the world between mexico and the united states and mexico exports about 80 percent of its

exports go to the united states this is a very serious issue for the country and of course in the meetings between the mexican delegation in the united states is kimberly said in washington they're going to be trying to persuade the u.s. that they're already doing everything they can because there's been a distinct lack of sort of new options to be put on the table both from the mexican president and when we heard from the mexican foreign minister last night but there has been an uptick in the tensions of central american migrants a caravan just yesterday of about 1000 people was intercepted and we understand that those people and now in detentions and in the month of april there was an 80 percent increase the mexican government says in detentions from that same month of the year before about $80000.00 people detained so far this year and it's go but the problem is this while that number has been detained in mexico customs and border protection in the united states say that they have they've been picking up

about 5 times that number of people arriving at their border and that's really the heart of this disagreement ok john home and their life as mexico city thanks very much indeed. members of the united nations security council argy to hear more about last month's oil tanker attacks off the coast of the united arab emirates and saudi arabian and norwegian debt from outside expected to make an informal briefing iran rejects accusations that iranian mines likely caused the tank damage. saudi arabia is reported so have improved its ballistic missile capability by buying technology from china a us media report cites 3 unnamed sources for the previously on reported classified intelligence it describes a suspected missile factory west of the capital riyadh president donald trump is accused of knots discoursing the intelligence to congress which is infuriating

democrats as strong refuses to relight military action with iran the said the missile report heightens concerns of a middle east arms race brian has more from beijing. the comments from china's foreign ministry were significant on thursday because earlier this year the chinese government denied helping saudi arabia develop its missile technology but now on thursday a spokesman for the foreign ministry confirmed that actually the cooperation between china and saudi arabia in this area was now quite strong china has been selling missile technology to saudi arabia since the late eighty's that was when it sold them the dung fung 3 medium range missile then a few years ago china sold the saudi arabians the dung func $21.00 long range missile and that was part of an arms package worth more than $100000000000.00 so it's quite clear that saudi arabia is becoming a very important customer for chinese arms and of course the united states also

sells a lot of arms to saudi arabia now the foreign ministry media briefing on thursday i also spokesman. how china was helping saudi arabia develop its ballistic missiles program it was interesting there was like a a 15 2nd delay between my question and his answer as he looked on his desk to find his prepared answer because this was a question he was expecting here's what he had to say. the chinese government has always opposed the use of weapons of mass destruction as well as their proliferation trying to has been very strict with its export of missile technology china and saudi arabia are strategic cooperation partners we've maintained good cooperation in many fields including the arms trade and this cooperation does not violate any international law and does not involve any proliferation issues of weapons of mass destruction so what china was

a century saying on thursday was this the weapons that china sells to saudi arabia are not defined by china as being weapons of mass destruction are china right now is the world's fair. largest arms exports of the middle east is becoming an increasingly important market for china and of course when it comes to the middle east china has pulled off something of a country trick because it has very good relations with saudi arabia very good relations with iran and very good relations with israel. so it's come on al-jazeera . seeking answers in stride lanka security officials briefed politicians on the easter sunday bombings last more than 250 people died. and the invisible threats that's killed hundreds of children in nigeria plus. i'm a welling's inlay on whether women's football world cup will be decided 1st among the populace kicking off all over france.

hello there we're still seeing a fair amount of cloud for some of us in the middle east is working its way up from egypt at the moment edging its way up through turkey and it is a parts of turkey where we're seeing the wettest of the weather from this system so some more shop showers are likely here as we head through friday and then that gradually try topples its way eastwards as we head into saturday and on saturday it does look like it's going to be the northern parts of a ram where we see some role the shop showers to the south of that in baghdad is pretty hot alltop temperature making it to 45 and kuwait should get to around 42 here in doha temperatures a comfortably over 40 at the moment as well and now you must see a change as we head through friday or into saturday for the south you do have a little bit of cloud over parts of yemen mess they could have to give us one or 2 showers and it's likely still to be with us as we head through the day on saturday

some of those showers really could be quite heavy danton was a southern parts of africa a fair amount of cloud over south africa at the moment that's given us a few showers i think most likely we'll see if. more on the coast here as we head through the day on friday and there's also the chance of seeing a few showers further north as well through parts of mozambique and around the coast of madagascar as well elsewhere though it's largely fine and dry so forth in capetown a cool day but at least a sunny one with a top temperature of 15 degrees. $115000000.00 trees disappear every year into the clothing that we all wear from upcycling to save the forests the famous yellow dress made from blue jeans. to conserving the well being wetlands free of aids world's global bird migration flight intersect right where we are the basic discovered a treasure trove it is one of the most special low clouds in the place at fry's

ecosystems in light on al-jazeera.

this is on to syria right of the top stories for you and i the african union has suspended sit on and response to be cracked on all protestors by the military jointer more than 100 people have been killed since monday. russia's president vladimir putin is warning a treaty with the u.s. on limiting the number of nuclear weapons is at risk of breaking down and speaking as an economic forum and some petersburg you cues the americans backtracking on the starts treaty. and the president of france is calling for global unity while praising multilateral organizations such as nato and the e.u. emanuel back home has been speaking at ceremonies to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings on the beaches of normandy. well macross call for unity coincides with transatlantic tensions donald trump has threatened to pull ice of nato unless other member states double their defense spending targets

european leaders were angered by trump's decisions they unilaterally withdraw from the 2015 iran nuclear deal iran's government is refusing to return to the negotiating table until the u.s. resigns the agreements for another contentious issue is troops withdraw from the 2015 paris climate accord he says the agreements to limit temperature rises is designed to publish americans. well jack holloway is a senior research fellow at the global policy institute c joins us now by skype from some of the in france thank you so much for talking to us here on our desire with heard this before he's issued these threats to withdraw from the 8 so to withdraw from all sorts of things what do you think is different this time round. i don't know whether dysthymia really means it. bertie doesn't seem to have heeded to the advice given to him by michael and a result by his good friend queen elizabeth the 2nd would say that these situations

which were created by the allies of another war were the foundation of peace for the photo indicates and that this should be maintained so that even in france that is just talk and to really get us at the interest of america. of western liberal or countries is in the preservation of nature when you said it yourself on that state visit to the u.k. queen elizabeth the 2nd has also underlined the importance of multilateral organizations and the u.s. president just doesn't seem to listen he doesn't seem to listen to anybody so is it what with him that's the no but he knows i mean my caller tried again you know reminded in the speech remember when he went to washington in 2018 made a big speech saying that richer reason was the key for peace and that mature let

terrorism without the united states could exist and that is usual is of the murty that their own institutions were created by the united states so that to just uncomprehensible effect that the words were leaders are very present. by trump nobody understands him nobody understands where it's trying to go. see the future of the work it's very worrying because there's a fear that if he carries on like that with his aggressive attitude towards china towards all its trading partners towards russia to what's iran and denunciation of the agreement with iran is making their work. it is a dangerous place yes it was done europe or leaders are very concerned about trump's nut and predictability because if it had become so predictable to

make the most. that is statements in a way contrary to the jurists of his own country well there they said this world leader they've had president trump for some 3 years now there is a chance he could be reelected in 22 and c.m. will be looking at another 4 years of this that had a chance to see the trust playbook trump is america for us and everybody else can do what they like is it time perhaps to stand up to the us to think about maintaining a multilateral world order but in a different way it seems that there are no answers to how to deal with at trump style and trump style is already being co-opted one could argue by many others and many other politicians around the world yet the disruptive british want to shake your order but we don't know what is going to follow one i mean sure as far as of

my course concerned is that it's up to europe to stand up to america but their programme is that europe is a big divide it doesn't there. europe as it was in a fairly childish relationship with the united states but it was hoped in some circles. in medical for example that a president like trump would make europeans come together and figure now we must get our act together we must develop our own defining scepter cities we must be in a position to defend our trade interests we not but we must not be subject to american sanctions for our companies. but unfortunately the very few countries that and a big program. in europe is did you know germany germany is as come to the idea now of developing of european defense and diplomacy but germany is value more

because they're very concerned about their exports to america about trade issues. and get a merc or who is going to get it closer to my course is unaware out so at that moment in europe there's only one person who really is ready to speak frankly to to president trump it's president mccall but. trump knows the mccoys law joke. substance because mccoy is a leader but with a committee for hours in europe and they are all great to get your thoughts sir thanks very much indeed for talking to us here on al-jazeera a visit. from europe to sri lanka where m.p.'s are investigating the easter sunday church and hotel bombings they've been told that repeated warnings where received including one just before the attacks happens the 12 member special parliamentary

committee has direct her of state intelligence made phone calls warning that something was about to happen will the 250 people were killed in the core native attacks in april which are blamed on a group linked to eisele now fernandes has more night from colombo. the 3rd day of the special parliamentary select committee on the easter sunday bombings has been hearing from the police chief inspector general. for the last couple of ours he has been coming out with some interesting information we've heard about the timeline leading up to that easter sunday carnage now there are things that beggar believe familiar centrally intelligence warnings repeated intelligence warnings that kind of knowledge of something impending something big about to happen that the security the intelligence arms knowing it but not doing anything about it the police chief said the director of the state intelligence had called in the night before these to

sunday bombings to say something dangerous could happen tomorrow he called again on easter sunday morning saying something dangerous is about to happen the question is now what exactly was done about these things we also had the police chief talking about all the information that was available he's also basically told the select committee that the president repeatedly asked him to resign going as far as to say that he was offered an ambassador post in exchange for his resignation so as we continue with the hearing we've also got the former defense secretary here mr him a set of financial who will go before the committee shortly palestinians are accusing israeli settlers of setting fire to hundreds of all the trees in the occupied west bank it brehm reports from the turn over. olive trees that have been here for the past 60 years have turned into ashes after the recent arson in juba village north of the occupied west bank. israeli settlers were seen attacking

the school in the village ahead of the fires local say they started it they will submit the surveillance camera footage to the israeli police but they don't expect the fair trial has thought that you could win the day and it's difficult to imagine that they would hold settlers accountable usually the israeli justice system stands by the settlers if they face deterrence from the israeli forces and police they wouldn't repeat their attacks every year there's a problem of the sort of. human rights organizations say less palestinians are reporting settler attacks and accuse the israeli system of bias towards settlers there is really a human rights organization yes dean says that 93 percent of cases regarding olive trees attacks were closed due to israeli police investigation failure people here say that secular violence and lack of accountability i meant to establish feed and push palestinians out of their lands they believe that this will help the expansion

of illegal israeli settlements doctors in northwest nigeria say lead poisoning is threatening the lives of thousands of children as a media reports from the north west of the country hundreds of dies in the past 10 years as illegal mining has increased here in nigeria some for a state these children are sick from lead poisoning but it's difficult for their parents to get the help they need tensions between farmers and herders of access to land a blow to armed gangs often attacking people in this region making it risky to try and reach hospitals. the money as i see with a lot of his condition deteriorates i'll have to take him to the doctors on a motorcycle in a little come to sleep because of insecurity and that's the scene with all children affected. for years mohamed watched his son's health deteriorate until he was unable to walk or eat today niger can only be fed through

a tube grafted into stomach there's heavy concentrations of lead in the earth here and aid organizations say many children began inhaling lead dust when a rapid rise in gold mining started around a decade ago. some are contaminated when they work in the mines are those when their relatives return covered in dust or when or is crushed by tweeting that health workers say the levels of lead following children's blood treatments can often be free tell their range was staggering between $1400.00 micrograms of lead to serious or blood above $100.00 really it is said that most victims die right but there is no all safe blood lead level even 5 micrograms of lead potus little blood or even below the rough some serious can consequences in terms of neurocognitive. deficit. but

with attacks now happening almost every day so parents here say all they do is to wait and hope and they aren't the only ones who have been advised by security and will treat it you know treat it's not who because it's all of exposure to our team and this is affecting the treatment that we give to children and we're very worried that this we need to reach the situation for me see more problems with late in the community. nigeria's strict mining rules are forced many occasional miners underground they are bring their rocks home to process exposing many children to contamination idea contamination project carried out in several villages 4 years ago is now at risk. for many here mining for gold is their only way to survive but by making a living this way they are putting their lives at serious risk how many degrees

already admitted last year many of these charges saying he had killed these people but he couldn't couldn't recall entirely all the details of the cases for the families of his victims this does bring finality they now know that german law has found this man guilty of killing their loved one but for the prosecution in this case they now say they want to focus their attentions on those in the hospitals where mr hogle worked what was their role were they in some sense culpable for allowing him to carry out the activities that he did. i'll tell you why. in just a few moments. architects

it or not not structural it's more of a psychological barriers of getting over there we're working on the new buildings are made with cross laminated timber stronger because the layers of wood are stacked in opposite directions the technology has been used for years in europe wooden buildings like the airy 80 story river beach project in chicago might just be a blueprint for a new era in architecture the reason this is kind of exploding right now is because it's an engineered what technology that uses small diameter trees but are combined to make massive panels. wooden buildings go up faster and cheaper a concrete floor takes at least 2 weeks to dry for each story timber weighs 80 percent less than concrete so it takes fewer trucks to deliver the wood which is cut in the factory in snaps together with not a saw on site but there's another more pressing reason to use wood timber buildings are greener both ice caps are melting in the storms are getting worse it we all

have to step forward and do what we can and in my profession what i can do is change my material choice for what i'm going to build with and build with something that's more socially and environmentally responsible the manufacture of concrete and steel emits planet warming carbon dioxide would absorbs carbon actually cleaning the air i fell in love with a building i love their windows the view is at 29 meters this is the tallest cross laminated timber building in the united states but the architect who designed it is already designing another one at 137 meters and he says with these materials the sky's the limit the growing industry faces 2 nagging questions is it deforesting the plan and they say by using smaller trees from certified renewable forests there would supply is sustainable and what about fire architects a wooden buildings can be as fire safe as any other is treated mass timber char's

the big powers are but to me part of my worry is that on this occasion the russians seem to be on the wrong side of history in that region simply because i think there's an element of global politics in. egypt the u.a.e. and saudi arabia are all countries visited recently by the head of the new the self-appointed military council abdel fatah al but han has called for a new talk to the protesters. a move rejected by the opposition who say they cannot negotiate in good faith following the recent killings. violence escalated on monday when the rapid support forces are s.f. raided the protest camp outside the military headquarters the death toll continues to rise bodies have been pulled out of the river nile with reports of beatings and rapes carried out at the hands of the r s f the group formerly known as the jangi we'd stand accused of committing war crimes in darfur it's very difficult to get a clear picture of what's going on al-jazeera has been banned from reporting

reporters covering this developing story for you this hour. is the white house for 1st let's cross to john holeman in mexico city who has the reaction from president obama's or john. president lopez obrador in the 1st 6 months has been in power really his so sought to avoid confrontation with president trump but it's been forced upon him at this moment and he seemed to announce in the press conference this morning an event that really ups the stakes a little bit now in the negotiations between the 2 sides let's listen to what he had. i'm calling all the mexican people from all classes sectors and cultures to rally in defense of mexican dignity and in favor of friendship with the people of the united states who do this so he's saying

that that really obviously is in favor of friendship with the american people but also in defense of mit's can dignities for a slight hardening of the tone therefore from mexicans president and it's also. quite important that that rally is being held in one of which has one of the busiest border crossings in the world going from mexico to the united states and about 80 percent of mexico's exports head to the united states so it's going to fissures have been quite open that this would be devastating for the mexican economy if president trump does follow through with the tariffs that he's threatening on monday but not just from mexico 7 x. ambassadors from the u.s. to mexico have also signed a letter saying that really this is a lose lose situation for both countries they say that under nafta the free trade agreement between mexico the united states and also canada there was a $1000000.00 a minute trade relationship and that will be put in danger they've also said that

in areas like organized crime and trying to stop that introducing terrorists is not going to bring that relationship any closer so saying that both countries will lose out now also in his morning press conference president lopez obrador said that really the roots of migration and the way to solve the migration crisis isn't through q-tip measures by deputations them from closing borders but it's instead by tackling the causes of migration in countries like honduras el salvador guatemala in which people suffer poverty and also security race from organized crime he said no one migrates out of choice now as well as saying that he also and. officials have also been saying the mits corps has been doing things to tackle migration mexican officials have pointed to the fact that 80000 people have been deported from mexico mostly from central america many of those heading through the united

states now the u.s. government of course would say that's not enough the latest figures from border protection show that more than 5 times that number of being picked up on the southern u.s. border ok john holeman in mexico sesay thank you very much indeed well let's get more now from kimberly whole kit he's at the white house kimberly we've heard ongoing threats from the u.s. monday of course is that deadline just how serious are they. well it looks like that the sort of putting in place of tariffs is imminent at least if you look at some of the statements coming out of the trumpet ministration not just from donald trump himself but also his vice president by pence who has told reporters that they feel that the talks thus far taking place here at the white house on wednesday and resuming again at 18 g.m.t. here at the white house so far they've gone very positively but the position of

this administration is that mexico needs to do more the time has come for mexico to act decisively now this is a point that was also reiterated by the u.s. president donald trump who doesn't seem to be backing down from his threat to put in place tariffs. i think a lot of progress here 3 years believe we're making progress we're going. to make you for many many years i'm going to be a big you know we're going to make you when i'm bored you're going to you know you make the step up for them to step up to the plate and perhaps they would see that you know the problem of the view of the administration is that the migrants that are generally coming from central america are transiting through mexico without a transit visa and that mexico needs to do more to stop them from doing so now we are told that the mexican side has put in place some measures to combat the stem of migrants that this administration says is now at historic levels along the southern

border of the united states and mexico overwhelming u.s. services but this is an issue that has been a problem in the united states for some 20 years that congress has also failed to address and that is something that the trumpet ministrations also pointing to namely his political opposition democrats for not doing more but we should point out in the midst of all of this even republicans members of the president's own party don't believe tariffs are the way to resolve this ongoing dispute there's fear this could hurt u.s. consumers u.s. businesses donald trump doesn't seem to be standing down though in fact just the opposite telling reporters today that he believes tariffs are a beautiful thing ok kimberly hole in the washington d.c. thanks very much indeed. now the president of france is calling for a global unity will present multilateral organizations such as nato in a matter of a micro has been speaking at ceremonies commemorates the 17th.
