meeting between president donald trump and prime minister narendra modi later this week at the g20 summit meeting in osaka, japan. secretary pompeo's visit comes at a time of increasing tension between longtime allies the united states and india. last month the us removed india from a list of countries that receives preferential trade status. that gave indian exports access to the us market duty—free. now that is gone. in retaliation india placed ta riffs gone. in retaliation india placed tariffs on certain us goods sold here. president trump said india is now playing fair when it comes to trade and its state department is pushing that message ahead of this visit. the uss india's largest trading partner, and president trump would like to see that balance out. but it is notjust trade on the table. the two countries are likely discuss us work visas for skilled indians and india's data protection policy which would ask companies to store data locally and it is opposed

by us forms like e—commerce giant amazon and walmart. both president trump and prime minister modi one government on a promise to put their countries' economies first, and neither is likely to back down. trade will be at the top of the agenda of the g20 summit later this week. us president donald trump and chinese president xijinping are due to set down as they try to resolve the escalating trade war between their two countries. the bbc‘s karishma vaswani looks at the basics and asks what are tariffs and how do they work. tariffs seem to be all they work. tariffs seem to be all the rage these days. china not playing fair on trade? tariffs. lots of refugees coming into america from mexico, tariffs. so much so that the man behind these tariffs has given himself a name. up in the sky, it is a blimp, it is a president, it is tariff man. so how do tariffs work?

a tariff is like an entrance fee for goods to get into a country. you've got to pay itjust goods to get into a country. you've got to pay it just to goods to get into a country. you've got to pay itjust to get past the gate. so when the us imposes a 25% tariff on, say, disk drives coming in from china, someone has to pay that tax on every disk drive. so who pays? president trump seems to think that whoever sells the disc drive does the paying. our country can ta ke does the paying. our country can take on $120 billion a year in tariffs, paid for mostly by china, by the way. well, it is sometimes true that chinese companies are selling the disc drives will lower their prices are little to compensate for the tariffs. they don't want that us customers going elsewhere. but it is whoever buys the disk drives and shifts them to america that really pays some if not all of the tariffs. so it could be an american electronics retailer like best buy, that sells them in stores, and an american company like

general electric that uses the disk drives in the products and services it sells, or the average american business run by mr and mrs smith. they just need a business run by mr and mrs smith. theyjust need a lot of disk drives. look. at some point, these american companies are going to have to pass on the higher cost to their customers. like walmart. it has already said it will raise prices because of the us tariffs. we can make the product right here, if we have to do, like we used to. according to president trump, that is exactly what the tariffs are meant to do. make american shoppers by made in usa instead of, say, made in china. not so fast. a lot of these goods are just much cheaper to make in china. producing them in america could cost more than the tariffs imposed. china has become the biggest customerfor tariffs imposed. china has become the biggest customer for many us firms, like boeing and cadillac, so what hurts china will eventually hurt the us as well. when people

sure, but wait a minute. who is paying, again? lets have a look now at the markets and how they are faring in early asian trade. currently a lacklustre start. the nikkei 225 ijust a point in the all 0rdinaries down by 12 points as investors await president trump's meeting with chinese president xi jinping at the g20 summit this week in osaka, jinping at the g20 summit this week in 0saka,japan. thank jinping at the g20 summit this week in osaka, japan. thank you so much for investing your time with us. sport today is coming up next with all the cricket and world cup action. i am all the cricket and world cup action. iam rico all the cricket and world cup action. i am rico hizon. all the cricket and world cup action. iam rico hizon. goodbye all the cricket and world cup action. i am rico hizon. goodbye for now. this is bbc news. the top stories this hour: the frontrunner in the race to be the next british prime minister, borisjohnson, has told the bbc he doesn't believe for a moment that the uk will leave the european union without an agreement, but he is prepared
