to d.w. business i'm john elder on high hopes for a resolution to the u.s. china tariff dispute as negotiations continue this week signals from u.s. president donald trump that he may extend the trade truce be on march one have been followed by reports of an upcoming high level meeting no less than chinese president xi jinping is supposedly set to meet top u.s. officials on friday but the stakes remain high and a lot can still happen between now and then the u.s. president donald trump spent the day in washington entertaining his colombian counterparts but that didn't stop him from weighing in on the progress of trade talks in beijing. it's going along very well we'll see what happens but i think it's going along very well they're showing us from a disrespect. were to a lot of countries didn't used to show the united states showing this respect. big difference from the old. so. the deal with china is going very well the economy is

doing fantastically the chinese side has been decidedly more discreet tuesday's news that the united states may be willing to extend the march first deadline to either reach a deal or be subjected to another brand of crippling tyrants is likely to have prompted negotiators to breathe a sigh of relief but beijing knows such flexibility isn't likely to come to keep the united states is determined to get china to make sweeping reforms to protect american intellectual property and curb industrial subsidies failure to make progress on those issues may be the real red line marking at the road ahead now let's bring in yes quarter on wall street good to syria now will extra time make a real difference into resolving the trade conflict or with the stud line extension just be kicking the can down the road. well the deadline was said to very tight

to begin with so it was probable that the deadline would be extended and that seems to be the case now there is a general feeling also on wall street that eventually deal will be done but it is also pretty likely that the deal it won't be as far reaching as the u.s. president or donald trump had hoped for to begin with but we've seen that with other trade deals as well for example the renegotiation of left also didn't actually change that much in the end. there are high hopes at least that the trade difficulties will not to escalate at this point i hope so indeed and now meanwhile reports have also come out that chinese president xi jinping will have that meeting with the u.s. trade representative's this friday now what are investors expecting well from that particular meeting probably not that much it's mostly

a gesture from the chinese president so how important those trade talks are and that adds to a comment from u.s. president donald trump today when he said that the u.s. is getting more respect from china so it's it's a show of goodwill when you see even ping if being will be meeting. u.s. trade representatives light ties there and usually the presidents do not meet was the trade representative's the president's me to each other so also when we had the chinese delegation over and watching us donald trump did not meet them so it's mostly a gesture but it was c. and that the talks are on a good way and that's one of the reasons that the market is trading to the upside we are approaching the aids positive week in iraq. a show of goodwill also from young's quartet reporting from wall street thank you very much. for european union

exceptions. grouping to mission should take responsibility for the negotiations with said countries all too old to ryse the member stage for such a negotiation but the end of negotiations or the member states it is necessary to mystify the result to zero people commission. before signing and is to. north stream has been a point of contention between germany and eastern european members they opposed the first nord stream pipeline which opened under the baltic sea seven years ago now nord string too will double that capacity when it opens at the end of this year the new pipes could bring up to fifty five billion cubic meters more gas from russia to germany that means that more than half of german gas would come from russia critics warn that this would give moscow too much leverage over energy supplies to europe the trumpet ministration had threatened sanctions against all companies involved in
