capable smartphone in south korea but the euphoria is didn't survive plunging profits in the first quarter. hello and welcome to the business i want to get jones in berlin good to have you with us he was present on a tom says a quote epic trade deal with china could be just weeks away but he stopped short of mentioning a summit today when any such agreement which besides the announcement was scanty on details but it's thought that the question of when the united states will lift tariffs on china remains a major sticking point. months of wrangling hundreds of billions of dollars worth of tariffs and a u.s. pledge to radically change china does business now u.s. president donald trump is indicating that the trade conflict between the world's top two economies is nearing an end we've agreed to far more than we have left to agree to. fact i would say i think i can say that some of the toughest they said
8:32 am
that richard we have some things that are actually easier ways now that we're we're doing but it's a very very using a word that i don't like using too often but it's a very very comprehensive deal on the chinese side some flattery i little caution and even less detail. because if you record. great progress. this steel from beneath. you because of course because of the trade conflict began early last year when the u.s. very to crack down on what it called unfair chinese trade practices these include station to invention in markets and the handling of foreign intellectual property china is already committed to buying more u.s. goods and to opening its markets but questions remain over how such changes would be enforced there are still some major major issues like. we should be taking over
8:33 am
all this is the fault of the start i think it is a. characteristic confidence from u.s. president donald trump and the more cautious optimism from those who've been doing most of the negotiation the world's biggest economies may be close to a deal but getting there may take longer than expected. but for more i'm joined by angela i dare an american lawyer political adviser and the founder of d.c. berlin consulting that is the platform i understand that allows him to translate washington to germany or the world let's. by explaining what happened last night in washington well. we didn't learn a whole lot new i suppose the biggest piece of news is that they're still negotiating at all i think if you rewind about six months the chances of coming to a deal i think we're viewed as less likely and now it looks like the momentum really is moving toward a deal and so i think the deal have to entail in order to actually happen. for
8:34 am
a few weeks now we've really. known the contours of the deal so if you differ buckets with the removal of tariffs as you mentioned the purchasing commitments you know china's going to make over a trillion dollars worth of purchasing commitments from the united states in agricultural goods in energy in industrial goods lots of changes to the intellectual property system really at the end of the day it's going to be a great deal of changes. within china. china is really giving the most and the u.s. is really not giving that much so the end of the day it's going to be a big give from china in order to create this deal as you mentioned which will be a big deal but we of course we know that china already announced and said it would make concessions for example purchasing more active culture products as well. so
8:35 am
what is the crucial sticking point what is the make or break moment yeah i think the make or break moment is when this if you if you look at robert light has a for example the u.s. trade representative who is really in charge of this process and there's a whole cadre of u.s. officials who are managing this process but like has really the one to watch. and the make or break is really about enforcement how do you get the two largest economies in the world who have two very different systems one of course the american capitalistic system and the other being the chinese state run model how do you get them to come together and have a. that can be enforced and if you listen to white house or he really talks a lot about enforcement you know i think they really have largely agreement on the contras of the deal the question is you know can they actually bring in its into force can actually implement the deal will china live up to its commitments you know a year from now what does that look like two years from now if there's a new presidential administration how does it look can it be enforced is it durable over time so that's really what they're trying to figure out is can they find
8:36 am
a mechanism to do that all right and they try to figure that out hopefully within the next four weeks then will be the wiser adair from d.c. blurted consulting thank you so much for your time thank you. meanwhile president on a trump has recommended a former presidential candidate to the board of america's central bank the federal reserve herman cain ran for the republican nomination in two thousand and twelve pulled out over allegations of sex sexual harassment which. he did night he's also a former executive of the pizza company godfather's present trump has described him as a terrific person who would do him very well he's the favorite to refer to if a person is a friend of mine. for more on that i'm joined by janelle to my loan was standing by adam from foot four what do we know about herman cain how terrific would he be on
8:37 am
the fed's board. well i'll put it this way there seems to be a lack of nonpartisan voices saying that he would indeed be terrific and those sexual harassment allegations only form part of it in fact his past policy record would leave many shaking their heads he's once advocated a return to the gold standard for example and as in his past career at the council he was known as a hawk advocating against inflation and higher interest rates but surprise his views seem to have evolved to match those of donald trump you know that he's repeatedly attacked the fed for raising interest rates and this would be the biggest issue his appointment would be viewed as a further attempt by trump to influence fed voting and therefore monetary policy. ok so now it's the last trading day or week there's been lots of u.s. china there's been lots of breaks it has to be rounding out for investors. in the do there have been some market swings here trending more towards optimism than
8:38 am
otherwise so in the beginning of the week you had for example strong data out of china as well as the stay in hope of a u.s. china trade deal providing a boost to the markets and you had more negative news like the stalled brags that process or factory orders in germany plunging way more than expected just kind of being shrugged off so on this last day of trading that positivity is a forecasted to continue amid sustained hopes of a u.s. china trade deal but it's early in the trading deal in the trading day and of course anything could happen before the close indeed and that's where we'll catch up with you again in two hours from now we knew from fred thank you so much. and out to some of the other stories making news around the welts u.s. airplane make a boeing has revealed its grounded seven three seven max jets are suffering from an additional software problem regulators say it must be fixed before they can be
