left for dead and then suddenly brought back to life how u.s. president donald trump brought a chinese tech giant to its knees only to the resurrect the company but with strings attached. the make a merger traders have been waiting for about environmentalists have thought so hard against by air and monsanto seal the deal to create the globe's biggest player in the agricultural sector. also on the show as nigeria tries to repatriate stolen funds the government's anti-corruption drive comes under fire we'll go to nigeria to tell you why. and all dressed up with nowhere to go india's new voice a rocky road in their status symbols made in germany. it's time for business and e.w. and how you got to get us welcome to the program the u.s. government has finally reached a deal with chinese phone makers e.t.e. now the firm can once again buy american components that are crucial to its

business in exchange for a hefty one billion dollars fine the announcement comes two months after washington accused the company of reaching a settlement related to an earlier violation of sanctions against iran and north korea it requires the company to change its board of directors and thirty days and include a team of american compliance officers that's how they call it the loss of access to american parts threatened to shut down production the issue was part of the trade dispute between china and the u.s. . and our financial correspondent at the new york stock exchange sophie szymanski has been following this story for us so it's very good to see you again now let's start with this company's e.t.e. because it is certainly an important company in china but it's not a big player in the u.s. so why is donald trump making such a big deal out of. well i think he sees this deal as a linchpin in the greatest passions between the united states and china and he

seems to think making this deal might help him into a stronger position and bargaining with china in terms of trade in general and maybe let me some of what secretary of commerce wilbur ross and treasury secretary save him a newton explained when they met with a group of concerned senate republicans on wednesday afternoon the administration seems to be seeking to make a deal because the chinese have made it clear they will not deliver trade related concessions like purchasing more agricultural goods and energy from the united states without an agreement that lifts this and i oughter these what a person familiar with the matter said american technology firms in china may also face retaliation from the chinese government if the deaths shut down so this is clearly something china once but this starts criticism once again because some say this proves that trump is not being tough on china as you promised what's the

perception there. well i think many people are really scratching their heads over it this president started this potentially costly trade war with china in large part because he says china is though an american jobs by flooding the markets with cheap imports but now some says he wants a safe chinese job comes the willingness to request it is the company's penalty it has drawn bipartisan backlash in congress and no make this three as if the administration is unwisely linking national security and trade to take for example senator michael bennet democrat of the rather oh i think his statement comes to everyone from the pretty well how is china supposed to think about what it is the united states is trying to accomplish percy says he's going to thank them and then he doesn't think that what's certain is that trump keeps us all guessing thank you very much so fishing muskie in new york for the analysis. corporate news now and
