enterprise institute and joins us from washington, d.c. interesting point you make about the bilateral trade deals, as we are seeing with japan and the european union, the united states is lacking in the realm, even though they promise to the contrary with donald trump in office. >> that is exactly right. i am not in favor of the bilateral's and the that the wto and the transpacific partnership would be best, but the administration is not doing otherng with that and nations are doing bilateral agreements. so, the united states is not gotten very far. they were just rebuffed by african nations for a model fta.

they are not following through with the second and third best opportunities. >> donald trump touts the possibility of a bilateral trade deals today with mexico and the mexican and canadian officials say they prefer a look at nafta. what do you think is behind the impetus for this and do you think it is more posturing? thewell, there is always in chance it is posturing and most thought that the administration would try to get the canadians to go along with this le andave ou -- and leave out the mexic ans, but they think it might be easier to get the deal with mexico. the best outcome would be to nafta,e trilateral

about, including the republicans, is the evocation theyational security and economicing with this issue. they would oppose. >> we are seeing different channels and different avenues and to whatn degree do you think that the deal will shield them with what is happening coming through the united states, in terms of trade. >> i don't think that the agreement will shield them from what donald trump decides to do

or not to do because it is an agreement between them and it is a modest liberalization that shows that degree to which they are giving concessions to each other and the united states is not part of it. it happens all over the world and other nations are going forward with these agreements and the united states is getting shut out. there are various other pieces of the treat agreement -- trade agreement. >> we had the japanese trade minister. take a listen to this. >> the japanese will not take the same approach to u.s. tariffs that it took with the steal and the aluminum tariffs, but the damage would be huge to the japanese economy and the u.s. and global economy.

>> we are hearing from japan a bit of fighting words. does this need to happen, this kind of push back from the allies? >> i think the only way the administration will be brought 2 by 4.is by a the steel and aluminum tariffs the type of retaliation you will get, if the administration goes forward with this on automobiles. ande supply chains are huge disrupting them will mean, politically, that these countries will have to retaliate in a way against the united states. >> i see the image of the inanese with a 2 by 4
