a sense of relief in europe after u.s. president donald trump and european commission president. agreed to try to take the heat out of the transatlantic trade route the german economy misstating the talks as a breakthrough that could avoid a trade war and save millions of jobs the french government adopted a more cautious tone saying any deal must be limited and benefit both sides. the victory lap has begun in the farm state of iowa u.s. president donald trump celebrated his new trade deal. i mean basically we opened up europe and that's going to be a great thing for europe and it's really going to be a great thing for us and it's going to be a really great thing for farmers. before trump and younger appeared in front of the press on wednesday business groups and members of trump's own republican party urged the president to avoid a trade war with results. so

beings instead of card tariffs following their wednesday conversation you could promise trump the e.u. would import more u.s. soybeans and american natural gas trump in turn talked of lowering trade barriers it's a deal at the expense of others however trade flows will be rerouted meaning less purchase from china brazil or african countries and that's exactly what sparked discussion at a w t o meeting thursday evening. the u.s. representative had a few things to explain to his chinese counterpart for now it seems economic peace has broken out between the e.u. and us but a single tweet could up and did all. these steps this is there's skepticism given the loss of trust over the past few months maybe even years we really hope yesterday's agreement will be adhered to. it's a chance for europe to catch its breath but the insecurity remains. let's bring in

our washington correspondent now constant fun naaman ed cotton of course this is a significant development but experience teaches us that the u.s. president can tear up any deal so should we treat this with some caution. absolutely i think it's more of a truce than the actual piece and also a lot of things are not clear yet this deal so far is just words for instance when it comes to so it seems it's not clear how the e.u. will actually manage to make sure that the europeans buy more soybeans because how can they force the european consumers or companies to buy that stuff with liquefied natural gas also some technical conditions have to be fulfilled first and then when it comes to the negotiations about reduced tariffs and other trade barriers this is

as we've just heard a long and complicated process the question is was on the trunk have the patience to do that and also the tariffs on steel and aluminum by the americans and the countermeasures by the europeans are still in place and then of course if donald trump is in a bad mood he might destroy everything that has been achieved with just one tweet so i would be very cautious right proceed with caution but nevertheless there was some relief that me felt he in the european union said what about the reaction from american companies and industry how are they taking this latest development. also cautiously relieved the dollar jones was up on thursday probably partly due to a reaction to that meeting in the white house but clearly american industry and also in particular fama very much relieved they were worried that this might turn into

a full blown trade war and that has led the republican party trumps party to be worried because there was a lack of enthusiasm among a constituency that normally is the bases of the republican party in rural areas and so they put pressure on trump so in the way of course the european union it's good to stand united but also you don't cope was lucky that this was a good timing and trump was ready to declare victory and move on our correspondent past and find a nominee in washington thank you constance well the concept of free trade was fan fed at the bric summit in south africa need as it breaks nations signed a declaration stating that the signatories want quote an open and inclusive multilateral trading system as envisioned by the world trade organization but critics say political and economic self interest play. the leaders of the five brics emerging economies immortalized one hundred prints in
