other news asia where hinder quite a long drawn out combative and even fraudulent election campaign crosstalk close. to consultant effect one in 6 people this was. joining me krishnaji as we try to understand the actual. history. of the new stage of. mixed messages u.s. president donald trump lays down the lower over china's huawei. way something that's very dangerous you look at what they've done from a security standpoint from a military standpoint it's very dangerous but he also says issues with a tech company could be result in a broader trade deal with china. the e.u.

faces an uphill battle in negotiating new trade deals with africa brussels has promised a partnership of equals. and the compensation claims pile up over boeing's grounded 737 max but u.s. regulators say they need global consensus 1st to get the passenger jet back in the air. i mean physical and let's do business while way has become a bargaining chip in the u.s. china trade war trump laying out his cuts saying a trade deal could include the tech giant but the american president's comments directly contradict his chief diplomat mike pompei or the secretary of state saying the trade issues are not linked he accuses the chinese company of lying about its ties to beijing financial markets were fairly muted friday investors torn between fears of a more protracted trade dispute and hopes the world's 2 largest economies would reach a deal soon it's a trade dispute that's playing out on many fronts including in rural america

many other countries have concerns about certain chinese practices the question is how what's the best strategy to deal with this and how do we discipline this better than my sense is that we better do this in a collaborative manner we better do this where negotiation and so that you need to have people sitting in that they will and for that we have a table called the world trade organization but getting trump to that particular table is likely to prove an uphill battle whether he's appeasing u.s. farmers affected by tariffs or cracking down on chinese tech giants this is a president who deals with trade conflicts one by one so far collaboration has not been the name of the game. the u.s. china trade dispute is that into south africa's economic woes the government cutting its growth forecast from 1.7 to one percent it says rising protectionism in the world's top 2 economies could negatively impact its own south africa remote from recession at the end of last year but it still faces many challenges including
