♪ david: you are watching "bloomberg best." i'm david gura. days after taking office, president donald trump made statements on trade, withdrawing american support for the transpacific partnership and promising to implement protectionist policies. throughout the week we discussed the possible global effects of trump's stance on trade. here is some of that conversation. >> we do think that trade barriers will probably go up. we don't expect the sort of numbers on across-the-board basis that trump was using during the campaign, 45% on

china, 35% on mexico, but we think this will be a major focus. what we have seen so far confirms that. >> how does this affect your outlook for 2017 for the u.s. economy and the global economy? >> it does to some degree. the economy generally is in pretty decent shape and the u.s. the main change is we are now building in easier fiscal policy should have an effect late this year and 2018 and sort of prolong this period of above trend growth into 2018. we think we will probably go beyond full employment. inflation will move higher and we also have a lot more in the funds rate. >> do you consider a strong dollar to continue as well? >> we do expect a strong dollar. is mainly based on interest rate differentials. for the euro-dollar we expect

parity by the end of the year. our monetary policy view is that the fed does need to normalize and will normalize, whereas the ecb and the bank of japan still can keep it for a long time to come. >> how confident are you the tpp will continue and live on? >> the decision by the president was not unexpected, but that doesn't mean you should walk away from these things. there is still a lot that can be gained and we intend to pursue that where there is opportunity potential for other partners to step into this. australia is a trading nation. is all offirst policy these things. oue economic interests are much aligned with that approach.

we have had excellent arrangements finalized with china and south korea and japan. the tpp was an important part of this. we will just get on with it. >> a very major border tax. we had the idea that was coming. plusses and minuses for the u.s. economy, or just minuses in your view? >> what we don't know is what form that will take. the republicans in congress seven talking about a border adjustment tax which would really be kind of like a -- vat. but donald trump previously said he doesn't want a border adjustment tax. this one sounds much more like a regular tariff. if that is what he is talking about, i don't think the market will react well to that. i think a lot of people were kind of hoping he was going to start with tax cutting and tax reform and that more protectionist tendencies would come later, if at all. his inaugural address and now these actions suggest maybe he is moving that to the front. >> there was talk about

neo-mercantilism -- could it out again work for the u.s.? >> it has not been working for china. and you know, you raise it in a good way in the sense that mercantilism and protectionism, economic isolationist thinking has been tried hundreds of times around the world and it does not work. it works the wrong way. it makes you poor, it does not make you rich. >> we will see real capital investment. we will see trade competitiveness from our corporations with a lower tax rate. we will eliminate off-shoring and europe stealing our tax base. we will start getting fair shakes for better deals with our trading partners. all those things will happen and basically full employment. we will see a stimulative environment is trump is successful, with will be very positive for the united states and slightly negative for the rest of the world, but it is telling the globalist nightmare that they are trying to make it.

the u.s. has been a wage giver and a price taker. and we are just going to be a wage-taker for the next few years. >> is it as simple as short rates, dollar strong? >> if you need to boil it down to a soundbite, i would say yes. they are idiosyncrasies of every trade relationship, but one would think if we get to -- the question is how to we pay for it? had a we pay for cutting the corporate tax rate? it is my view, our view at our firm that border tax adjustability is the limited pay for it. that is basically taxing the trade deficit. alright? it is broadening the base and forcing your trading partners to

pay for the cut and tax. is actually very elegant. >> britons anticipated break with the european union is affecting the outlook for investors. interviews this week delivered insight on that issue. let's start with guy johnson's conversation with guy hands who expected to be represented with good for business. >> we will have to continue to borrow money. we won't have the -- the fact that we are with the so interest rates will start to go up. that will lead to bankruptcies. it will lead to opportunity. sadly, and this is always one of the strange things about business, i think it is probably bad for the majority of people and that for the country. but i think my business is probably going to be good. >> on what kind of scale? how good is a get? how big will the opportunity be? giving some other numbers. how higher interest rates going up? >> when i said a reduction of

wages, i was talking about real terms over 20 years. very,0 years, so that is very small over years. it's a small change each year. it is similar to a frog getting boiled. it is not going to be quick. it will be very slow. and terms of interest rates, that will take some time as well. but the u.k. at some point is going to have to continue to pay for itself. people talk about the j curve. the j curve in terms of devaluation has never worked for the u.k. the u.k. did it for 200 years before joining the european union, constantly devaluating. how much, i don't know. but the differential between us and europe will need to be several percent. >> my colleague francine sat weekin madrid this

botin.na >> you did 19% of your revenue in the u.k. we have not had article 50 yet. consumer spending has been holding up. what happens when article 50 is triggered? >> who knows? in the short-term the u.k. is doing well. the last six month seven good and they should be positive for the next six months. inflation will hurt consumers obviously. we are respecting lower growth in the u.k. for 2017. not as low as we expected before. we still expect growth, lending to grow less but still to grow. again in this context, the u.k. has a great job this year. we absolutely are totally committed to the u.k. is a local british bank. we have grown our lending, from loyal customers. it will be less growth is still positive and this is important.

francine: if the u.k., as it seems at this moment, loses passporting rights, does it make any difference to how you operate and manage the u.k.? >> for us it makes no difference. we are a british bank so we take the profits and we landed them in the u.k. what we care about is our customers. it will affect our customers and this is what we need to think about as we work out what's going to be the new relationship between the u.k. and the consonant. we are very close, lots of exports, imports, and we need to think about that and the people. there are a lot of british people on the continent. millionabout 15 visited spain last year. so let's think about the people and the customers, the small companies, trading between the u.k. in europe as we work out.

francine: we expect to see you at davos. the big u.k. banks are moving to frankfurt in opening banks. do you have a sense that a lot of these bankers would move talent to madrid? it is a financial center. ana: well, of course if anybody is going to move from london we will welcome them in madrid. we have great people and a great infrastructure. i think it's a great place. london is still the hub first talent, the market is there. i think london will remain the most important center in europe. ♪
