7:23 pm
escalating. well there's several suggestions obviously obviously the u.s. could just extend the deadline again as it has in the past another option at the u.s. is asking for at least that is that the e.u. goes down with its tariffs on certain products or that it actually puts a cap on its steel and aluminum exports to the us however all of these measures wouldn't get the go ahead just like that from the w. cio so it's not really easy and there will be a lot of negotiations there that will have to go on and i think both sides if they really want to find a compromise there probably will need more time for this and these are the words for us in paris thank you very much but more time needed obviously in solving this one. he said it would be easy china says it will protect itself from what it labels reckless u.s. trade actions the u.s. has signaled it's going ahead with import tariffs against china after all that's
