this is did up in your life from there in the still produces shock from that rhetoric in donald trump's brewing train europe encounter decide after pairing retaliates imagines the games he's proposed he's proposed to target some steel and alan many of the i.m.f. sometimes trumps movies bad for the world economy on for the united states that stops us thinking we'll bring you the latest from a physicist also on the program. today of deadly violence that became a facet tackles target army headquarters on the french embassy leaving soldiers and

civilians dead. and that it is at least parliamentary elections on sunday d.w. heads to sicily an island on the frontline of the country's migration to various issues that could tip the election toward silvio berlusconi's center right coalition. until gale welcome to the program the world's major still produces i edging closer to a trade war after u.s. president donald trump announced plans to impose punitive tariffs on imports to the u.s. europe canada brazil and japan of old threatened economic reprisals the situation the international monetary fund has warned would be disastrous for the world economy but that hasn't stopped the president for ramping up his rhetoric. it is donald against the world at a meeting with u.s.

steel companies in the white house the president stood by his threats from next week he will impose punitive tariffs on imported steel and propping up his own industry. very unfairly treated by bad policy by bad trade deals by other countries they've been horribly treated by troops and this is yet another war trump is confident of winning he defended the tariffs citing national security european union leaders were bemused and angry at the move you can't treat. as. that threat to national security where we are allies we cooperate in nato and the problem on the steel is related to over production in other countries then in the e.u. . europe has no worried that cheap chinese steel will no longer be sold to the u.s. but could increasingly flood the european market that's why brussels is thinking about counter measures they're expected to head america where hearts for example

tariffs on harley-davidson motorcycles. american jeans or whiskey from tennessee and kentucky all three states are home to influential republican politicians and trump supporters. we hope that those in the u.s. who are still trying to ensure that europe is not regarded as a trade policy enemy will prevail otherwise this is a real burden on our relationship on the show we have a blast. in addition to retaliate three measures the you has also announced it will sue the u.s. through the world trade organization. bear in mind that the european union with its twenty eight member nations is america's biggest trading partner is a president of the european commission. on friday and i'm saying that the e.u. is not going to sit idly by. most jobs in europe will

be lost due to the american measures you cannot simply look on without doing anything we need to take measures from our side this is highly regrettable we never set out to start trade wars. so where is all this going let's get more from having i get us from do to lose that is mr esko welcome have you all we now in a trade war or is this just the run up to it definitely just the run up to it phil nobody wants a trade war it will dollars from says it's a good thing but certainly europe doesn't but we are in trade war rhetoric and that is extremely dangerous you just saw the reaction from their europe on the one hand doesn't want any type of counter measures actually because they know that tariffs are a bad thing and that's not the agenda that they actually are trying to push forward but they on the other hand cannot just let this happen without reacting so it will

depend on what other countries do and on how the u.s. response to these countermeasures i would like to think that a person who can afford a harley davidson can also afford to pay a little bit more so these terrorists that you will impose should not be rather that significant for the economy but more symbolic but again this could escalate very quickly and it could lead to a trade war in the end ok so we're still in the land of possibilities because this does not get signed until next week as well and it's done exactly and we also know that trump has already failed in interviews and other types of tariffs the consensus is that he will be able to impose these tariffs but it is still unclear if this will affect all the countries that import or export steel to the united states and aluminum if it's only going to be certain countries so it's actually very early to see how far reaching this will be however most experts agree that even if we see an impact for example. on the u.s.

economy with higher prices and with less competitiveness for u.s. corporations the true actual impact for the u.s. economy is not going to be that big anyway so it will depend on again what other countries do and how the trade partners of the united states react to what is going on and effectively this is double trouble making good on a campaign pledge once again. thank you so much in other news the government of brooklyn a fast of says it has repelled a deadly attack by islamist militants in the capital by the do good government the government says militants and members of the security forces were killed when a gunman launched coordinated attacks the army headquarters and the french embassy . security forces rushed to the french embassy to deal with an apparent jihadist attack. gunfire was exchanged for around two hours
