this is the news coming to you live from bali and china says it will fight to the end of u.s. president donald trump it's that new tariffs trump on vince plans to hike caliphs on on up to sixty billion dollars in goods from china and nearly he says it's in retaliation for unfair trade practices. illegals are relieved to hear that they will be exempted from trump's tariffs for now but they say they are ready with their own countermeasures if a trade war breaks out. and hard line a john bolton is trump's new national security adviser he's advocated preemptive

strikes on north korea and thinks the u.s. should dump the iran nuclear deal so what could his appointment mean for global security. hello and welcome. u.s. president donald trump speaks and says the reading he's announced two major moves a new national security adviser with notably hardline views and the threat of higher create out of sagansky china the town of announcement has said deal the market sliding as fears of a trade war grow as much as sixty billion dollars worth of and new chinese exports to the u.s. could be affected. this is the first of many punishing china on trade it was one of president trump's most fiery campaign pledges we can't continue to allow china

to rape our country and that's what they're doing now actions are following words trump is moving to levy tariffs on chinese goods to slash the value of the u.s. trade deficit with china we want reciprocal mirror if they charge us we charge them the same thing but beijing says reciprocity should not be the goal on trade it says it could impose retaliatory tariffs on u.s. products like pork and aluminum if it must but that it would rather convince washington to change course in bad alter that fact trade everyone knows it's unrealistic to achieve complete equivalence if the u.s. purchases whatever it wants but also rejects selling china the products we want and keeps blaming us for the trade imbalance how is that fair. meanwhile some

analysts are asking is trump's bark bigger than his bite when it comes to trade. the president already announced global tariffs on steel and aluminum earlier this month but then came the negotiations and the exemptions. they include an initial exemption for the european union with e.u. leaders welcoming the move to avoid protectionism at the global level. this is a major risk for jokes in europe. in this respect style of tuesday u.s. ski. the dialogue is set to continue but so too is the pressure from washington trump is hinting more punitive measures on trade could be on the way. now trump stay out of finance ministry get a selloff in equity markets worldwide with investors concerned that a trade war is looming between china and the us blue chips on the frankfurt stock

exchange where more than two percent down in morning trading in tokyo the nikkei index lost more than four percent hitting its lowest level since the. investors are concerned that they might get caught in the crossfire between japan's two biggest trading partners. and we have more on the impact of trump's proposed talents in business coming up in a few minutes but first let's go to brussels now as we've heard earlier trump is temporarily exempted the european union from high a tad of on steel and aluminum which are meant to come into effect today the topic is overshadowing what is meant to be the main item on the agenda at the e.u. summit drags it illegals have broken their exemption from status and they wanted to be permanent here's what they said. plus i'll be working with my shadow e.u. leaders today on is to see how we can secure a permanent exemption for the e.u. for there is still time stick with usually about what the next steps might be a bunch will see well the good thing is that this issue has

a reinforced our unity the european commission has spoken with one voice and very rapidly. in this so the hebrew when it comes to raising tyrants against the european union will respond with countermeasures that was our collective reaction we want good transatlantic relations but we may also respond if we believe that international trade rules have been violated. there's not going to be a corresponding of mothers in brussels gil gutknecht there has warned that if taleb side goes and the e.u. the block is prepared to retaliate and this is a pretty strong message coming from the e.u. . reacher the use being careful here they know of course very well that a temporary exemption is only a partial success here and concerned but rather the message really for donald trump here is if he things he can out muscle the world's largest trading bloc then he better things again the concern in brussels really is that the tariffs are only

a first waif in what is a bigger assault on the global trading system on the framework if you want the w t o framework that the entire trading system is set up on and the e.u. is eager to defend that system i mean does that optimistic that they'll find a more permanent solution for the tallis exemption. look the ever since the second world war a trait for from the perspective of the european union has been regarded not only as a tool to achieve more prosperity but also as a tool to reduce conflict so the e.u. is is aware that these will be difficult talks that donald trump is obsessed with the notion of reciprocity and from the e.u. perspective things look more equal there's no major imbalance when it comes to tariffs but basically what you can expect from the european union is

a cautious approach they they don't want to be tracked into a trading war but they also don't want to come across as nice. to know what is meant to be the main topic on the agenda at the summit gregg's it it seems that any recs a transition offer is now on the table what can you tell us about that. exactly emerita just minutes ago teresa mayes the transition period got rubber stamped by twenty seven e.u. leaders here that was expected because it's been prepared over weeks and months by the chief negotiators here but the usenet is not getting growing tired of reminding the u.k. that whether it's related to this transition period or to the backstop solution for northern ireland nothing is agreed on july everything is agreed to hide yet mothers and thus the thank you very much. in the present times of the big announcement

was the appointment of a new national security advisor with notably hardline views it was well known that trump and his former national security advisor on mcmaster didn't always see eye to eye so it came as no great surprise when he announced that john bolton would take over the realm and he becomes a third national security advisor in fourteen months. even in a crowded field john bolton's provocative views have long stood out whether it's north korean brinkmanship or iran's nuclear program. and has a more only had one and so far to fight fire with fire let's ask john bolton for you mustn't of the past ten years he has been a fixture on u.s. talk shows but today the new york times and here's the headline it's an eye catcher to stop iran's bomb bomb iran rarely missing a chance to hammer home his aggressive foreign policy approach i think has the earlier strike the more damage you can do it is

a stance he has doggedly clung to ever since he served as the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. under george w. bush that was during the iraq war he now returns to government on a bulging in-tray well i think the issues that confront us on proliferation and terrorism these are issues i've dealt with before the president obviously has them at the top of his priority list and so that's that's what we working on among among many others bolton will have to put words into action when he start shipping us national security policy from next month. so how does the word just become a more dangerous place to help us on that question we're joined now by tyson baka he's a us political scientist and program director and fellow at the aspen institute. welcome tyson a john bolton said when he was appointed that his is to give the u.s. president a whole range of options and this is of these the goal as it sounds but given his

background how wide it to the would be by his appointment right i mean you know every president has the whole range of instruments at the disposal of u.s. foreign policy the problem is where does his inclination lie what will he emphasize and you know we hate he has a three decade history in and out of government including as george w. bush's chief arms negotiator a time when relations between iran iraq obviously and north korea really soured and led to greater proliferation of the world so i think that his bella cost city will lead to more in physis on those tools those options on the table rather than diplomacy at the same time donald trump says he's very much a man of his own thinking when we have any decided to call this north korean summit which is due to be has that was his idea do you think that summit could be in jeopardy because they had been hopes maybe a summit of this kind could help ease tensions right i mean that that's definitely an optimistic outlook on this if the truth is this president makes

a lot of these big decisions themself and doesn't really he makes them without real deep consultation with his advisors the thing that has kind of set the policy in the tillerson mixmaster area is that they were really constraining forces at times they were able to kind of lean on the president to delay for example you know a letter withdraw from the iran nuclear agreement and the people that he's appointing now including john bolton are not going to be constraining forces but enabling forces they're going to augment the president's more let's say aggressive tendencies and that doesn't bode well even for a situation like a meeting with heads of state in the. korea ok i mean that would also apply to iran because trump is killer clearly said he wants a ten not that landmark deal that they made with iran what does this mean this confrontational approach do you think would mean for the region i mean it's going to be destabilizing both in the eastern pacific region and in the middle east because john bolton has you know he's a fox news commentator he has

a long paper trail he's basically said that military option should be realistically considered both in iran and in north korea and if the president starts to kind of nod and you know he we know that he's an impulsive somewhat erratic decision maker if in that moment he kind of agrees than they could lead to something that is very destabilizing for this is that john bolton is the third national security adviser in fourteen months so what this is exactly can a change of personnel tell us about u.s. foreign policy i mean pot and politics and policy is personnel and what it tells us is that this is a very unstable capricious administration that has a lot of changes is it going to continue to have that if we have one constant since january twenty first two thousand and seventeen it's that there's nothing constant everything is always changing so the question is will john bolton last i mean we can ask will he be six months what else can we expect there's been bigger turnover in this administration than any modern administration in history thus tyson baca
