car industry estimates that hundreds of thousands of jobs are threatened. this plant in the mexican city of silat was run by american multinational general motors each year it produces four hundred times and pick up trucks destined for the u.s. market. it's just the kind of operation u.s. president donald trump has tried to clamp down on he wants american carmakers to produce at home. but such protectionist rhetoric often overlooks the importance of america's own export markets staying with the example of general motors some five thousand of the company's employees in the united states produce parts which are assembled in mexico. if the united states follows through on its threat to impose tariffs on car imports the cost of pickup trucks in the u.s. would be very likely to increase for general motors that could mean job losses in both mexico and the united states and that's just one example of the potentially

economy that it's like introducing new taxes and they also say that they are proud of their industry that the car industry and that there is no case here you know that the u.s. president has repeatedly made the argument that the foreign carmakers should. export less cars to the yes and more cars here but this workers here say that's what's happening right now we are concerned about our jobs and so we want to have more opportunities to produce more cars and to export more cars. it's quite bizarre isn't it american workers demonstrating against the u.s. carmakers begging congress to stop times on foreign competitors is there anyone left in the u.s. it's. a good idea. you know in this hearing today there is only one expert in favor of the tariffs forty six x.

7:23 pm
the e.u. can do that it's a measure that it can take in response but the european car industry association is warning it's going to lead to higher steel prices with demand having gone up recently and that's to the detriment of the people involved we every day we're getting use of new tariffs new counted sorrow's new counter counterterrorist markets should be quite volatile with all this or investors getting used to it. no they're not that is regionally they're getting used to it a bit but regionally not if you take a look at the far east the chinese equities have tanked since the beginning of the year mainly on worries that the trade conflict will hurt the economy there and one currency of the chinese is that a one year low here in europe equities in the euro zone euro stocks fifty in the dax for example here in germany they have recovered from march lows despite all the
