yvonne: it is 7:00 here in hong kong. welcome to "bloomberg daybreak: asia." top stories, president trump cancels the north korean summit and says the u.s. military is ready for anything. a moresident used traditional form a message to convey his message, saying he still hopes to meet kim someday. betty: it is just after 7:00 p.m. in new york. gold stock has gained in a month and yen is rallying. as unlikely as it seems, amazon tries to explain how alexa

reported a couples words and kept their conversation on. we wake up over there in asia with some new headlines coming out of north korea. but now instead of rattling the cages, it seems to be more muted. and saying they are willing now to talk with the united states, almost like it seems on their terms, saying the trump summit relationship is unexpected and they wished the trump model could resolve issues and that there is no change in north korea's attitudes toward peace. yvonne: there is concern if this

would ignite pyongyang to do more missile testing after a six-month pause. it seems like they are taking cooler heads. they need to come back to the negotiating table but this is what we heard from the president earlier. trump: if and when kim chooses to engage in constructive dialogue and action, i am waiting. betty: so we will see if talks are still open from the u.s. side. we also have another headline from the bank of korea. it will be holding a meeting to discuss the u.s. north korean summit situation. this puts a -- this puts the south koreans in an awkward spot weeks after the historic meeting between north and south korea area -- korea.

let's quickly take a look at how the u.s. markets closed. we saw some sharp declines at the open but we have pulled back the losses. it seems the headlines were not as dire as first expected. dow ended down 75 points. as a be recovering down two point -- 2/10 of 1%. the nasdaq is unchanged. encouraging that we saw stocks rallying towards the end of the close. in new zealand, we are seeing optimism, up one third of 1%. japan could be lackluster here today. we saw the dollar fall back a bit after the news of talks being canceled. kiwi seeing some gains on the back of that. we are watching the lira resuming that slide.

it looks like the 300 basis point rate hike was not enough. of southe ishares korea falling to 1.3%. weakness,ittle bit of perhaps we are seeing what is to come with the korean open. the cost be is looking down as well. engle onng in stephen what to do next. you are in seoul when all of the optimism was positive. changed and mood coincidently, after kim went to the chinese leader, there was much more rhetoric and what bluffing for concessions.

that is an old tactic of the north koreans. mike pence used the libya model for d new colorization and the koreans did not like that much. i am not trying to sell donald trump's book, but look at the art of the deal. you have to be willing to look -- to walk away from the table. the united states called kim jong-un's bluff and canceled. the vice foreign minister is saying they were willing to talk at any time and that they express regret over the u.s. cancellation. so this could still happen. we have to keep in mind with trump and kim that they are predictably unpredictable. betty: so what is next? 2017 hostility? what happens next?

stephen: we do not know. trump is saying the military is that they never got off alert from north korea threats, given that the summit was going to happen. so that is still up there. donald trump is keeping the door open and saying if kim takes constructive actions before june 12, it still could happen, we have to get this right. he says if you change your mind, do not hesitate to call or write . that is the letter he actually dictated himself. he basically called this a sad moment in history. he cited the tremendous anger from the bluster coming from north korea. open hostility from north korea is his reason for canceling. he says, you talk about your make -- your nuclear capability

but ours is so awesome and powerful, i prayed to god it will never have to be used. basically, back-and-forth rhetoric coming from the two leaders. betty: stephen, stay with us for a few minutes. i want to bring in shaun king who's been five years of the congress department where he served as senior advisor for foreign commercial service. sean, how much do you want to say, i told you so to donald trump? >> i do not want to. i think he was right to accept the invitation to meet because it came through south korea, but i think he was also right to cancel today. my problem with his approach was thinking he had resolve things and failing to recognize that north korea's definition of denuclearization is different from ours. betty: so he was naive?

>> maybe. a lot of background in the issue , and thinking he could somehow do everything differently, that he was special. it is a lesson he has learned. the newhat you make of headlines coming out of north korea where they seem contrite? it was north korea who asked for this meeting. they have more to gain. they are the ones who were reaching out. i think trump called their bluff. yvonne: did the president essentially make things worse? know dealing with north korea requires a delicate diplomacy and this is blowing in the face of south korea and ruining that relationship between the u.s. and soul. l.s seou our trade talks still open? i think seoul owes us an

explanation, not the other way around. i thought the letter was thoughtful. it was strong. consideringstated the language we got from north korea overnight. he plainly let them know that the door was open if they wanted to reconsider. by trump's standards, considering his usual bombastic twitter, the letter was levelheaded. so you are saying the blame is on south korea? the reason we are in this mess is because of north korea. they are enemy number one and deserve the most lame. i think south korea sugarcoated it and spun it for trump. explaining to do to us. i do not buy the china angle. everything i know about north korea tells me they resist

foreign interference. giving kim some sanctions and relief, a gave kim confidence to play hardball with trump. this idea of china directing them, i do not buy it. i think china -- things were going china's way. it was trump who is considering pulling out troops if he had a deal with kim and that is what china wants. china wants us out of asia. so i do not buy the china angle. find the timing of this announcement interesting? a kind of sidelined the show that north korea had made in the northeast to show the tunnels where they conducted the six nuclear tests have been demolished. that is a side story right now. north korea wanted to control

the narrative. byald trump trumped them canceling the summit. >> i am glad you called it a show, because that is all it was. it was a side story before even happened. they have the nukes. -- from what i hear, it had already collapsed upon itself, leaking radiation. that was just a show and it means nothing to me. yvonne: do you think there will be a summit eventually? >> yes. north korea needs it and trump wants it. i'm out of the prediction business when it comes to these people, but i would be hard-pressed -- i will be in singapore the week before the summit. maybe it would be overshadowed

by my presence. i gave trump my number last time, but he never called. maybe he will pull it out before the midterm elections. the ones are always advocating dialogue with north korea. betty: is there a timeline? >> this has been going on for 70 years. momentumere is some right now, although it has stalled little bit. >> a few years from now we might all see this as one simultaneous event and forget this even happened. betty: shawn king, thank you so much. and thank you to stephen engle. let's get to the first word news with mark. the u.s. planays to slap tariffs on auto imports would violate wto rules. -- world trade organization

arehe end of the day, we really just seeing the art of the deal in the making. for us on a fundamental level, earnings remain strong, economy remains strong, the fed is accommodating in terms of inflation and consumer remains strong. that is really the number one drivers for higher equity markets. how important was it to see a more dovish statement coming up from the fed yesterday, or the minutes coming out? important thing of the fed's statement yesterday was really being patient with inflation. i expect inflation to be higher but they are just a patient. we have seen that of the last several years, where the fed is more patient as well. so for us it was not a big surprise. at federated, we believe at the end of the year we will have a

better three and a quarter percent 10 year. see productivity improvement and u.s. economy remaining strong, the markets can observe -- absorb the higher rate and move from it as well. betty: it looks like the june rate hike is in but there is a question about how many more we will see. given the more patient approach, your, i am curious what view is on another asset that has then moving on higher inflation expectations. the dollar coupled back with rate here in the treasuries. do you think we will see the dollar drift lower again? expect to rate increases this year. i know market is debating whether there will be two or three. i think some of it is reflective on the interest rates but it can whensafe haven, especially

earnings, the fed will remain patient, interest rates that will not be increasing, that really bodes well for the cyclical sectors of the market. although we believe in a more , i thinkportfolio tilting more toward value cyclical will be the treading force for us in 2018. given how cyclical some of the markets in asia are, do you think they are reacting more sensitively to a possible slowdown in the u.s. economy? is there is still a concern up there that we as reached peak global growth? linda: we do not believe it is. weakness and we

see it almost every year as we come through winter. now, q2e seeing right is starting to improve and accelerate. when the u.s. accelerates, the rest of the world will have some momentum. there are some issues in europe with brexit in italy to contend with but overall, global growth is quite strong. improve, i think you will see more of them on a global basis. linda, thank you. plenty more to come on "bloomberg daybreak: asia." this is bloomberg. ♪

extreme volatility at the start of the year, the market called down.- calmed in may, investors have come back that backs on -- put on. we have some issues that have not fizzled to the surface and the risk is that they do over the next few months. the first is the trade tensions between the u.s. and china. things seem to be settled for the time being but we do not know how that will play out. trump has an agenda where he wants to get a better deal for the u.s., we do not know when he is going to start ratcheting up the pressure on that. there is always a risk. the other issue is emerging markets. first we had a flareup in argentina, and the turkish lira has been smashed.

causesk there is that it contagion for the rest of the too bad itif it gets goes to the more developed markets. and the italian election produced a populist government who fought the poll on the manifesto which is anti-euro. they might water that down, at the moment there is uncertainty about what policies they will .oot -- they will follow we have certainly seen volatility in the italian market. thank you so much, james. out ourrget to check library for some of the charts you have seen on this are graham. -- on this program. ditch the ready to

he says it was built on a large edifice that is a structurally impaired foundation. he says there could be financial instability. this is what bill dudley said earlier today. view, we have to operate on the proposition that libor is likely to go away. i will say it should go away because it is not supported by a sufficiently robust regime. it should provide an impetus for action but should also make regulators nervous as we approach the deadline, especially if longer-term positions -- solutions are not in place. kathleen: in the u.k., there is a replacement for libor. is one as. there

betty: this is "bloomberg daybreak: asia." i'm betty liu in new york. president trump scrapping the summit seems to surprise almost everyone. we spoke with democratic senator jack reed. it is startling but it is a function of the impulsive approach the president takes in this process. his quick and poorly staffed initial agreement to go and meet with kim jong-un, the up-and-down discussions about what or -- what might or might not be discussed. then i think he finally realized it is likely north koreans will give up their missiles -- will not give up their missiles automatically or overnight. with hiso boxed in

decisions when he realized he might be walking out of a deal with the north koreans that is much less commendable than the iranian deal. i think that might have slowed them down. happen inwhat has to order for the president to reconsider the meeting? back on a wellt organized and carefully orchestrated series of meetings with intermediaries who will talk about what will be discussed, what are the general terms, what are the north koreans willing to give up, what with the united states the willing to also give up, and then see if there was an opening. i think the south koreans have played a critical part in this so it would be at least a three way. that was jack reed there with bloomberg's kevin cirilli. too wereea says they surprised by the cancellation of the summit. they say they remediate -- remain willing to meet with the

u.s. at any time. let's get more from tom mackenzie in beijing. what kind of reaction are we expecting from china? tom: i think we should expect they are also, likely to stress the need for talks because they have long said that the only way to resolve this standoff between north korea and washington is for washington and pyongyang to sit down and talk. unofficially, there is a view that china will be relatively relaxed about the decision because it will give them leverage in ongoing trade negotiations with the u.s.. china is pivotal in terms of how these sanctions of north korea are enforced. they really have their hand on the throat of the north korean economy and they can relax or

tighten the grip as they will and they can use it as leverage with these trade talks with washington. we're still waiting for the official lines from china on this. they were also hoping that if the trade talks continued, the possibility that the u.s. might have pulled out some of their troops on the south korean border. to tie might be looking the north korean conversation in with the trade talks. yvonne: and geopolitics is linked to trade talks. visit merkel took a today twouesday visit to china -- day visit to china. what did they talk about? i would be surprised if the

germans were not trying to gauge the chinese response to what was happening. for was high on the agenda the chancellor. she was seeking assurances from china and china welcomed germany's efforts to maintain the nuclear agreement with iran. certainly both china and germany economic dayicant at play in a ron -- steak at stake at play-- in iran. merkel would have pushed on market access. she talked about this in her press conference and she warned the chinese they may face curtailment in the eu, further constraints around investment, if they do not reciprocate on making moves to further open up

markets in china. we have seen moves by politicians in germany and other european countries to look at further oversight of chinese dealmaking. more ins invested 45% the last decade in the eu than it has in the u.s. -- that is a concern for washington and policymakers in the eu. betty: this person he is not just in europe but in the u.s. tom, thank you. the trade for now on front is the u.s. china business council vice president for china operations. jacob, i was talking about a way to describe and highlight the limbo we are in when it comes to

trade and relations to china and the u.s.. we have a map on the terminal. sort of them riding the waves. first it was heading out from corpus christi, initially bound for shanghai. after china slaps the tariffs on imports, it has done a u-turn and headed back to southern africa. what a turnaround in this state of flux. how much further complications does this bring to the u.s. china trade relationship? tom: agricultural commodity pieces are difficult for us to plan around. these contracts are signed sometimes a year in advance so when short-term care of action

takes place, this ship might mighthe etsy -- the ship already be at sea. two sides, onhe one hand they wanted to make sure they had a positive platform for engaging with north potentially now going to be delayed. the second point is that they wanted to give china a bit more time to come up with a better list of deliverables that could be offered to the trump administration. medivation came to china and had some requests -- steve mnuchin came to china and had some requests. it is difficult for the chinese to find consensus internally if they do not have time to coordinate. so i says there is a time that will give the chinese a chance

to come up with a better list. on the flipside we are seeing the u.s. now considering slapping car tariffs on auto imports into the u.s. this seems like a bigger issue than steel and aluminum. is it justified to say this is a national security issue when it comes to cars? tom: i think from the business community's perspective, we are strong advocates against ever .sing national security we just want to make sure governments have rational reasons for why they are assessing the security of a product. in this case, we would hope that level heads could prevail for trade to continue without these

sorts of restrictions in place. is this what businesses want to see from the trump administration? what -- atnt -- at ip?point, when it comes to tom: you have hit on the right issue, from our members perspective, the terrorists are not the top priority. it is great to see american companies selling more to china, but now that we have this initial agreement in place and the chinese are clear, we can hopefully quickly hit it back to the structural issues in the relationship. whether it is lowering the restrictions on joint venture requirements, looking at made in china 2025, domestic tendering

, these are the issues are companies are more concerned about. we cannot forget cybersecurity as well. in that we are getting space the tariff area. is going to be more volatility to come. been stomachne has churning in the trade arena. what do you think might come out of the next round of talks? tom: when we talk with our contacts, we understand secretary ross will come to china for an intermediate -- inter-agency delegation. it will focus exclusively on and commerce. it will focus on structural

issues, particularly in agriculture and ways china can lower its import their ayers. that would -- import barriers. aboutill also talk opportunities for american farmers. this'll be a benefit for all. the big question is how far china will be willing to go to a -- address these concerns on the structural side. thank you so much. bloomberg users can interact with the charts we show on the program using g tv . cap cap on analysis and savior charts for future reference. coming up, we speak with gordon chang and his thoughts on

quite coming -- stunning. two reasons, but at the end of the day, the united states has the power to push both north korea and china into better directions and trump is a president who is willing to use that power. >> given how quick the president was to accept the invitation and walk away from a -- from it, doesn't put it weaker -- in my >> the south koreans did not like president trump scrapping the summit, but i don't think it isolates us. it was unforgivable you had them -- the north koreans not showing up. i think the south koreans, although they don't like us,

would certainly understand it. i think all of this will work out. >> what about china? push -- does this put less pressure on pyeongchang now question mark >> chinese banks and probably all for have been money-laundering for the north koreans. president trump has let them get away with that. saw this as a free pass. now if president trump changes his views, i think we could see theu.s. start to go after chinese banks for violating federal law. that would be a huge turnaround, but you have to remedy united states just disinvited china from the impact. that is a huge turnaround in on

sure people in beijing are saying if they could do that to impact, they could do that to the chinese banks. think the meeting with kim jong-un really certainty hot , trying to dissuade the north koreans to -- >> i think they really did stir the pot. we don't know what was discussed, but we do know that china's sanction busting has become much worse. in the first two weeks, the price of gas in the northern part of north korea has dropped dramatically. that only happens if the chinese are pumping oil. arehe conference call, they concerned about china flooding north korea with investment

money. there is a deep concern in washington that china will continue the sanctions rusting. -- busting. >> what you think are the chances in a worst-case scenario? -- what do you think the chances are in a worse case scenario? >> there's a lot more we can do. we can start inspecting ships going into north korea, but the the pressure is going after money-laundering. there are indications that the other three, big for banks have also been involved. that gives the u.s. enormous leverage and president trump has

not been willing to use the leverage, so i think the time -- -- ese fell they had the summit happens in you get a good agreement, we can forget the chinese sanctions busting. if we can't do those things, that leaves president trump with very little choice but to go after beijing and moscow. changnk you, gordon joining us. in the meantime, let's get you caught up with some of the rest of the news. paul allen joining us. efforts to salvage the iran nuclear deal began friday were officials will meet without u.s.
