mexico, 75% of auto content has to be made in the u.s. or mexico, presumably canada if they sign on. they are changing the ways they calculate that. it won't be this automatic change. then sunset agreement. instead of the administration and to -- demand to end it after five years, it is a 16 year agreement. they still have to deal with canada, a dispute resolution ,and dairy, two big issues. >> president trump is googling himself today after he said "only shows the viewing of fake news media. otherhave it r -- in words, they haven't rig -- responded they do not bias results toward any

political ideology. president's twitter attacks, we can't totally ignore them, because he is the president. truth and notm of truth. it is true google and facebook posts quarter results based on algorithms that are secret. as, butlgorithms have bi not in the way the president says. in general, it is good there is more scrutiny on these companies. i don't think there is much to the idea that they are stifling conservative points of view. >> the u.s. is pressuring canada to join an updated nafta agreement friday. mexico has made some significant concessions, which will be really good for canadian workers. on that basis, we are

optimistic about having very good productive conversations this week. >> canada cannot be seen to the ca -- to be caving to u.s. demands. there is a sense they are being bullied into this agreement, and they don't like the tension between trump and trudeau. i believe in order to get a political win, canada will need some concession from the u.s. what can they take back to is worth giving up on their side? >> president trump wants to impose additional tariffs on $200 billion worth of chinese imports as to busines -- as soon as next week. why next week maybe the d-day

for these tariffs. >> we have been talking about this all summer. it noent trump has made secret he wants to put pressure on beijing. the big deadline next week is expiring of a public comment period on this list of 6000 some $200haorth billion he would like to slap a 25% tariff on. word is he does not want to wait around. >> today the president of the united states conducted a wide-ranging oval office interview with bloomberg news. among the topics discussed, and capital gains tax break, the wto, tech and google and facebook, the president's feelings about fed chair jerome powell and his embattled attorney general jeff sessions. >> figures combative - he is

combative, confident. he he radiates a confidence not everyone agrees with, but he feels he is winning the biggest battles. he is not done thinking of new ideas. he wants to rewrite trade rules around the world. president trump: i would say the wto was the single worst trade deal ever made. if they don't shape up, i would withdraw from the wto. >> he was particularly bellicose on europe. the fact that he immediately rejected the offer from the europeans to go to zero tariffs on cars was interesting. he said that was not good enough, i want a much broader deal than that. president trump: the european union is almost as bad as china, just smaller. >> the overall impression of someone feels the world is going in his direction. for better or worse, that is the

president america has at the moment. >> president trump says he is optimistic a deal will be reached by today's deadline. canadian officials are raising serious doubts. >> we are committed to speaking for canada to a good deal for canada, not just any deal. we are very good, as canadians, as finding win-win compromises. at the end of the day, we will only sign a deal that is good for canada. >> you have to read into the pessimism, the body line which in her statement, the idea that they keep having to stand up for canada's interests suggests they have reached a point they are not going to get any more ground on. if they can reach a deal today -- it looks a little bit darker right now. >> this is an artificial deadline. this is the president wanting to

send congress a notice he will send the treaty before pena nato leaves office -- nieto leaves office september 1. deadline may be making this a little harder. >> the ongoing negotiations with canada are not complete, and we continue to negotiate with the united states. so that is why we are coming back next wednesday, and we are going to continue talking until we reach a good deal. minister doesn not want to look like they are being railroaded into a deal. they are coming back next wednesday. a source told me a deal this week was always a long shot. good news they are still coming back next week to talk. ramy: still ahead as we review the week on "bloomberg best,"

ramy: this is "bloomberg best." let's continue our global tour of the week's top business headlines with new twists in the online -- in the ongoing negotiations with brexit. >> the u.k. and european union pushing back the deadline for a brexit

deal. both sides aim to finalize the divorce terms by mid-november the latest. another indication negotiators are struggling to make progress, despite the u.k.'s assurance to speed up talks. what are the reasons this deadline is being pushed back? >> the reason both sides are not able to agree on a divorce deal is northern ireland. they have a commitment between southern and northern ireland, and they can't seem to make it work. they were supposed to agree something at the june counsel, and now looks like they will not be able to agree the october counsel. they may need a special summit to make that work. >> what is being seen as a policy term, the chinese central interestngthened the rate as pboc banks have resumed use of the countercyclical

factor in the pricing of its yuan reference rate. talk about why this is the second. >> it is -- this is significant. >> the u.s. has been accusing china of deliberately pushing the currency down. the stories have already made it more difficult to short the yuan. now they have come out with is very technical measure. what it does it makes it harder for the u.s. to push currency down. the lost in the past three months seems to be the tolerance level. it may be no further from here. >> the u.s. department of agriculture announced u.s. farmers will receive $4.7 billion of initial farm aid. who is the biggest winner and loser in the agricultural sector? >> the agricultural sector would

tell you there are no winners. you have $3.6 billion going to soybean producers. every statement i have seen so $290s, you can give pork $559ion of direct aid and million dollars of government purchases, you can give money to corn, wheat, dairy -- none of it matches the economic losses farmers are facing today. you would say, on paper, these are the winners of the package, but most of the commodities are feeling like losers as the trade war goes on. >> in the u.s., second quarterly gdp data coming up above estimates. >> a good news story on gdp this morning. we saw a revision upwards of 4.2% from the previously reported 4.1%. that is on the back of a really

solid intellectual property investment. as you see companies investing in software, that could lead to productivity gains and make growth more sustainable. we got a first rate on corporate profits, which was the biggest gain since 2014. all good news in this gdp report. >> italy. the process of opposing the -- will start the process of opposing the eu's budget after the member state field to follow through on a deal in june. why are they trying to block this deal? >> at this point the italian government has been dealing with the migrant situation. they feel abandoned. this has been true for past governments as well. now we have this populist government trying to change things. they are reacting more violently.

the eu is a place where things are negotiated slowly but they want action right now. they are saying things much stronger than in the past. >> argentina's economy growing right now. the president has asked the imf to speed up bailout payments as the country heads to the second recession in three years. is this good news for investors, or bad news because it raises uncertainty about the economy there? >> argentina is pulling out the stops to raise investment confidence . from an investment point of view, this is meant to clear up any doubts argentina could not cover its payments for this and next year. argentina says thousand of capital with the imf deal without issuing more debt. peso down 40% this year. that is the worst selloff in an emerging market.

we have a recession coming this year. this is meant to help alleviate the pain, economically and from an investment perspective. >> the peso fell to a record low, argentine monikers raising the interest -- lawmakers raising the interest rate. still we are not seeing the argentine peso react that much. we were expecting rates to hold steady at 45%, but they had to move. tell us what investors are thinking about the central bank situation. >> there is a crisis of concern -- of confidence in argentina. the public wants to see a clearer strategy of how they plan to reach their fiscal deficit target. today was an emergency measure to defend the peso. so far, it is not working. >> legal woes in nigeria are costing its wireless carrier

dearly. it is ordered to return $8.1 billion that the bank says was improperly repatriated. mtm reacted to that decision. does that have an impact? >> mtn's reaction so far has been one of confusion. in south africa said this morning on an investor call that it was very strange that mtn was being penalized for this. all of the people affected by it, not just mtn, but the banks who helped them repatriate funds are also affected. they are figuring out what is going on. steel andnt trump on aluminum tariffs, saying it is necessary and appropriate for u.s. national security. he also drafted waivers for

south korea, argentina. >> the statement are these tariffs imposed on steel and aluminum earlier this year, the beginning of a hawkish period in trade policy. it is said these are needed to protect u.s. industry, but on the other hand there are some exceptions granted. in the case of steel, these are not small exemptions. you have brazil, argentina, and south korea excluded. together they contributed about 1/4 of u.s. steel imports last year before the tariffs came into force. i want to say this is a material easing of import restrictions. >> europe says it is willing to include cars, u.s. goods -- among u.s. goods that could be imported duty free.

>> the eu would be willing to go to zero on automobile tariffs with the u.s. this is something that began under the obama administration. ttip was being negotiated between the two sides, up until donald trump killed a when he came to office. -- killed it when he came to office. it would have had the tariffs on cars go to zero on both sides. we are willing to bring car tariffs down to zero if the u.s. does the same." the u.s. has 25% tariffs on light trucks and suvs. automakers in the u.s. may not be interested in doing that. however it has given shares of european automakers a pop. it doesn't appear to be something new, and does not appear to be something the

administration is embracing. president trump: it is not just tariffs, it is barriers. it is not good enough, because they will always sell more cars. their consumer habits are buying their cars, not buying our cars. ♪

ramy: welcome back to "bloomberg best." this week we have the opportunity to sit down for a conversation with warren buffett. as usual, the legendary investor has plenty of insights to share. >> the stock market is really on

a record tear, i think it is fair to say. you have always drawn the distinction between price and value. are we seeing a run-up in price or value? andf you own a business you fall back a good portion of your earnings into the business, you will have something more valuable on average year after year. sometimes the market is crashing for whatever other reason. but the stock market builds underlying value year after year. i bought my first stock one the at 11 yearsr 100, old. >> look at where it is now. one thing you take to measure it is the total value of the stock market compared to gdp. when you look at that graph, it is the highest since the tech crash in the late 1990's. does that mean we are overextended? is this a time to be fearful

rather than greedy? >> i am buying stocks, not because i think they are going to go up next year, but because they will be worth more in 10 or 20 years. i do know they are good businesses. in relation, you have to measure investments in relation to each other. your alternative for most people is fixed income. you get 3.0% for 30 years. what you rather invest in a company earning 20% on their capital? -- time, there are stocks that are good bargains from your point of view. you are sitting on a lot of cash, hundred $10 billion. don't we have to have more fear in the marketplace before you are deploying that cash? >> i don't love it is a country

-- for the country as a whole. we have been shoveling out money anyway. it is not as attractive as when i was buying in 2008 and 2009. 1974 was the best year for buying securities in my lifetime. that will happen from time to time. you can't sit around and wait for it. we keep buying as long as we find them attractive to us. an attractive business at a reasonable price. i would love if it is a really juicy price, but i still keep buying. ramy: we dive into the business news with earnings on china's biggest banks, and a sneak peek at the iphones apple will be launching in the fall. plus, more compelling conversations. >> when people see your competitors --

♪ this is "bloomberg best." i'm ramy inocencio. this week so progress toward renegotiation of the trade relationship between the u.s., mexico, and canada. let's revisit some of bloomberg television's interviews with officials from the nafta countries, starting with wilbur ross. he spoke about new rules that would affect the auto industry. ♪ >> one of the most important economic issues that was solved in the deal with mexico is increasing both the nafta content and hopefully the american content of the automobile industry. autos are, by far, the largest

single source of our trade deficit with mexico. so we think that will help mexico get more business back from southeast asia, and we hope that it will help the u.s. to do the same, because now somewhere between 40% and 45% of the content of key components has to be from countries where the wages are $16 an hour or more. obviously, mexico wages are nothing like that, nor are they in southeast asia. but that is a provision that directly benefits the u.s., and of canada comes in, would help canada, because their wages are quite similar to ours. >> the president said just 24 hours ago that now was not the time to negotiate trade relations with china. you reiterated that since. why is this not the time, and

when will be the time? >> well, we don't have an exact date as to when will be the time, but you're aware of the two delegations met last week. there was no substantial breakthrough that came from that session at all. so that's one indicator that it's not necessarily the right time. secondly, as you know, the united states imposed tariffs on quite a lot more product from china coming in here, and i think the president is interested to see the impacts that those moves have on the potential negotiations. ♪ thate new proposition is 40% of the contents is made in high wage, about $16 an hour. obviously, that refers to canada and the u.s., but 60% is made --

that means, for the case of mexico, 70% of the car exports ,oday can't meet that new rule with some effort from here to the first of january. remaining, what we have done is give certainty that in the time they adjust, they will basically never pay more than 2.5%. to that is obviously some hing that will protect the production capacities, consider expansions of what's happening in mexico, and create states of growth ahead of us. we keep theou that new rules and we keep exports and growing in the mexican economy. >> what did secretary mnuchin mean today when he said there is

a strong currency protection chapter? >> remember, this is the first time in an agreement where we -- it's not exactly something that happens in north america. some countries in the past currency manipulating was to make it more competitive. these understandings is that we should send a signal to other regions of the world that north america will not tolerate currency manipulation. ♪ >> we're looking at the long-term. this trade deal and other trade deals we are negotiating are about a generation from now. we are setting a table for the next generation. we're free traders, we believe it is in our interest to establish these relationships, and you're not doing it for today but a long time in the future. >> you have suggested that some progress can still be made.

realistically, what progress can be made? >> well, we know what the issues are. we've been clear with the canadian people about what's most important for us. we need stability, we need predictability. we want investors to know that when they are making a deal with canada under these rules, that those rules will be around for a while. you can always make a trade deal better, you can always make it stronger, you can always modernize it. we came into this discussion with these objectives in mind. we are working through it and i am hopeful that we will end with a stronger deal for all three countries. ♪ >> thailand is one of many countries watching global trade developments closely. in an exclusive interview, the governor of the thai central bank told haslinda amin that protectionism is a growth risk for his country. he also said he's not feeling immediate pressure to hike rates. ♪ >> you're saying that a

september 19 rate hike isn't likely to happen because it is too early? >> we have to evaluate a number of factors to decide. >> what's the biggest concern for you right now? is it the strength of the thai -- is it a hindrance for exporters? >> that is also a concern that we appreciate. if you look at the nominal effective exchange rate, that has appreciated quite significantly. normally, it would move in line with peer currencies because of our strong positions. that has lead to some investors considering it as a safe haven among emerging-market currencies, and if you look at

has restored the tightening of the domestic liquidity condition. but we also confirm with other risk factors that we have to keep our eyes on the recovery of the tourism sector from the incident in the south that resulted in a decline in confidence among a number of chinese investors. we saw a drop in two hours of activity during the past month or so. but trade protectionism is something we have to keep our without strong positions the need for thailand to increase the policy rate -- ♪ to another bloomberg exclusive, credit suisse ceo tidjane thiam was in china this week, and sat down with bloombergs tom mackenzie. ♪ economies ared

safe. there's no -- let's forget you merging markets. economies that have a current account surplus, that run the fiscal deficit, that have significant reserves are safe,. the market, when people fear contagion, there's no contagion for poorly managed economies to managed economies. , itcountries under pressure is easy to see why, because they have a significant current account. that makes them vulnerable. it's not because they are emerging markets. ndle theortant to hav fiscal situation responsibly, and it's important to have reserves. you will find that a lot of emerging economies are in that

session. the ones that have come under pressure are more fundamental. i was in argentina two months thatand it's clear argentina has some real challenges to deal with, but to extend that to emerging economies -- >> so in terms of the contagion from turkey, in particular, you think that is overplayed? >> i don't believe there will be material problems over time. in the short term, there's always strong, spontaneous reaction. but it's not justified. >> and the impact on european banks? >> banks are in a much different situation than they were. back then, you look at the size of the turkish economy, very good traction in turkey. ♪

♪ this is "bloomberg best." i'm ramy inocencio. let's resume our round up of the weekend business, with a focus on company news. tesla resolved the question of whether it would follow through on a plan to go private. the answer, at least for now, is no. ♪ >> elon musk has made a dramatic u-turn on his controversial attempt to take tesla private. after almost three weeks of excitement, a blog post late friday that the electric carmaker will remain public. "i knew the process of going private would be challenging, but it is clear it would be even more time-consuming and distracting than initially anticipated. after considering all these factors, i met with the board of

directors yesterday and let them know i believe the better path is for tesla to remain public." is this something investors and analysts can easily forget, or is tesla going to be plagued by uncertainty for the for seeable future? >> i think there will be some issues surrounding musk and that tweet. in the end, i don't think it will be a bad punishment, but i believe he will be fined. i think you will be able to keep his ceo role. but this was just an issue of bad process and bad governance and was motivated by elon's own frustrations with production issues and market issues and short-sellers that motivated him to send the tweet in the first place. ♪ >> apple, the world's most valuable company, plans to triple down on the iphone x, offering new models this fall. tell us about these new models. what can we expect? >> there will be three new models, an update to the existing iphone x, the xs, plus
