what's the connection between bread. and the european union he knows. you correspondent baker stretches like you live with the rules set by these. talks. being recipes for success a strategy that makes a difference. baking bread on d.w. . a landmark ruling with signals towards the white house the world trade organization decides national security concerns can be a valid reason to put up trade barriers very recent u.s. president sides when it comes to trade disputes. also coming patience is running out in pakistan where inflation is now running at

a five year high. and good to have you with the world trade organization has issued a landmark ruling on national security claims in disputes the decision could have major implications for u.s. president donald trump's trade policy the ruling involved ukrainian exports through russian territory and allows an exemption to rules on national security grounds mr trump is likely to see this as a win as he has invoked national security when imposing tariffs on trade disputes with china and the european union but the ruling could also work against you. now let's dig deeper into the story with our financial correspondent in new york and my colleague from business clifford cronin here in the studio. let's start with you. what exactly was this ruling about

and just how important is it well it started with ukraine feeling that it wasn't getting at the benefits of its strange and trade because russia and rail transport across ukraine they took it to the to the w t o the w t o said that national security issues did count as a reason to oppose this. and the reason that it's important is that it's the first time that the w t o has addressed this issue of national security. over to you does this ruling support the u.s. president's position siding sid your security concerns when it comes to terrorists . well let me read you two headlines that i saw today after the ruling so that gives you a certain idea one headline is reading russia wins w t o national security case a potential boost for drama and another headline this w t o defies was historic

ruling on national security itself obviously it could work both ways what is one important question how do you define national security. that's in the eye of the vote holder how it works here in the u.s. so far for example when we talk about the potential tariffs for car import so usually there is an investigation in the case of the terrorists by the commerce department and then the president so to speak gets the result of the investigation then the president can make a decision and if congress for example disagrees they have the theoretically the possibility to overrule the verdict of the president clifford back to you the w t o has not only set definitions on what it finds as a threat to national security it is also indicated that it wants to remain in charge as an international institution that's right and i think this is where the

review element comes in and it becomes very important they have the power now to review cases where there's a national interests involved and that gives it a lot of scope in terms of how it can deal with say these cold war era rulings the . terms that trump has been using and it's here that we could see which way it goes i mean there is ambiguity here we've seen some seeing this as as we just pointed out some see this is a win for john sums it is a loss so this is where the power is going to be and then to see how trump deals with that yes back to you in new york donald trump has been trying to undermine the w. two since he has come into office is this ruling likely to change his mind in any way . he made it quite clear in the past what he thinks about organization like the w t o not much so what we could see in this case where we talk about potential car terrorists that could become a power struggle we shouldn't forget that the united states is not just the biggest

economy on the planet but also the biggest contributor to the w t o's so let's say you don't know what increase tariffs on the ground sell financial insecurity and w t o disagrees. theoretically could threaten to leave the w g old that's also not in their interest of this organization so that could be pretty interesting case if it should come to that point and scored in new york and clifford cohen and from deed of your business here in the studio thanks to you both. and here are some of the other business stories making the news. senior u.s. treasury official david malpass has been elected as the new president of the world bank it was the trump administration's unanimous pick for the job it has always gone to an official from the united states while the world bank's sister organization the international monetary fund is headed by a repeat. french finance minister brule america says his country is sticking to its
