panama to change how it manages the canal — after president trump threatens to seize control. thousands of australians flee their homes after torrential rainfall causes flooding in northern queensland. and it's music's biggest night. on the uk

reporters atjoint we'll see what will happens, it will happen. might. we will see how things work out. it might happen, it will definitely happen with the european union, i can tell you that they don't take our cars, they don't take our farm products. but the european union is really out of line. the uk is out of line but i am sure, i think that can be worked out.

but the european union, it is an atrocity. we've had a couple of meetings, we've had numerous few phone with the european union, it is $350 billion deficit. pain�* ahead after ordering tariffs on most goods from it's top three trading partners — canada, mexico and china. but he defended his decision saying the countries the price." suggesting it will impose similar to "choose ca nadian".

and china warned it will take counter measures. beginning in canada. just hours after donald trump launched a multi—billion dollar trade war with the us's biggest trading partner, like the american tariffs, our response will also be the us tariff is 25% on all products and 10% oil, leaving toronto locals furious with president trump. turning on canada like this. because here in ontario we make

a lot of auto parts, we sell to the us, they make cars. as they enter the country, paid by the importer, not the exporter. would add $12,500. prices, absorbed by the importer orforeign exporters might need to lower wholesale prices to retain their us customers. to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, repeating his claims they could escape tariffs by becoming the 51st state. mexico, too, has been hit with the tariffs of 25%.

countries to stop illegal immigration and the flow of drugs into the us. in turn, mexico's president accused of a trade war. china faces a 10% levy on all goods and america imports. translation: i think this is a very systematic thing. we should also increase tariffs. it should be a process of mutual cooperation and mutual win—win. thank you. you very much. his next target looks like being the european union, saying tariffs are likely there. the uk in his sights. nomia iqbal, bbc news, florida. wang huiyao is the founder and president of and a former counsellor to china's state council.

more muted than expected. canada and mexico. already added. china also has those lessons and absorbing these, they diversify training with countries than the rest of the western countries and china is domestically stimulating. goods because, after all, there's already an imbalance there. confrontation between us and china on this front. i just want to get across something you

mentioned about more dialogue talks at high level do you see that as being something that can be easily overcome? you see already that chinese top diplomat has a phone call in a way, that was already lifted, i suppose. solved. to do that and i can see that president trump is working very

so heavily on this tariff escalation because china takes china has actually had zero tariffs countries with zero tariffs. for the perspective from canada, i spoke to laura jones —

i asked her about the reaction in canada i think canadians are very unified across the country for our trade. 75% of our exports go to the us and they're our biggest trading partner, a longest border shared between two countries in the world and we've been best friends for a long time. exactly why it's happening. it's not clear what the endgame here is and talk of the 51st state is, of course, deeply insulting to canadians

of canada have taken a very high road — we're still doing everything we can to work it out and using a lot of messaging that we hope to find a better offramp to this. story that trump is trying to sell that somehow the us will be the winner here and other countries will be the loser, is wrong. and customers will lose from higher prices and we're already hearing that americans are starting to shift their attention, if you look at the news in the states they're in terms of inflation which is, there was a headline in the wall streetjournal calling at the dumbest trade war ever.

people were very perplexed at canada, it's not even clear to me how this will work with some car parts sometimes cross the border six, eight, ten times before the car is made, so how exactly will those tariffs work in a situation like that or energy? we both import and export energy to and from the united states so how will that work? i suspect that american consumers they will see higher prices in the grocery store being strategic about how — we're a small country

so we must be smart with relationships to the president just a quick earlier i said canada's president and i meant canada earlier i said canada's presi| prime d i meant canada earlier i said canada's presi| prime minister. canada earlier i said canada's presi| prime minister. pleasei earlier i said canada's presi| prime minister. please go cress prime minister. please ge our website see on our website to see this piece from laura �*as piece from laura bicker as to why perhaps have seen a from 5 from china so muted response from china so far. over what he called chinese influence and control it's the latest escalation in a diplomatic dispute over the waterway — between the atlantic and pacific oceans. us secretary of state marco rubio demanded �*immediate

no real threat from the us. remember, president trump previously threatened to seize operations of the canal. marco rubio's meeting with president mulino lasting around two hours. the meeting had gone when that was shouted to him. at the start, handshakes. but i think that belies the rapid tensions that after president trump vowed to retake the canal. coming here is they believe that this country is one of many in latin america that has soaked up too much chinese investment. this is largely about the us—china rivalry and what the trump administration thinks

an example of panama to suggest that if there isn't a tilt back to perhaps unpredictable threats made by president trump. refusing to rule out military force to do so. now, that has rattled people here in panama. the last two days, and it's created a real degree of fear invasion of panama in 1989. and so it has scared a lot of people. and it's also aroused deeply patriotic feelings. many panamanians, the overwhelming majority, believe that the canal should

remain in panamanian hands. now, some analysts think this isjust a maximalist but the reality is there is now something of a diplomatic here in panama. in a statement released by north korean state media, pyongyang's foreign ministry said that the us was, tojudge other nations. any us provocation. last week, president trump announced plans this is bbc news.
