a surprise particularly to the mexicans tell us more about the well he's done it again just as we were all eyes were focused on china on the trade deal there so when he comes out with a new very political move i think aimed at mexico which has opened up everything again in terms of international trade in terms of how america looks at it on itself and its protectionist mode as it is at the moment so yeah a complete surprise and we're all trying to work out what exactly this means for the for the broader trade issues that are going on at the moment and i think surprise is the key word here only looking at the share prices in asia this morning investors are shocked. as the shares went on quite considerably when the news came they didn't end up quite that low but for example the nikkei lost over one percent and hong kong was also down the sort of the mitigated effect at the end due to some bargain hunting we hear why that because may was such
8:33 am
a terrible month and some people even though there was this news from trump thought that the last day of the month might be a good idea to cut back just a little bit into the into the into the trading but the fear is out there you can see it here in europe the dax is in pre-training and they are the shares are going down i wouldn't say they're under pressure but the effect is there people taken completely by surprise and the indication for what wall street will do later is the same also share losses projected while investors are going back into safe havens of the u.s. treasuries the government bonds there and one trader i just talked to just a few minutes ago raised an eyebrow and said you know in the old 4 german bonds has gone down again to the 0.195 percent is really shocked that that that means that they're in demand that means that investors astaire clifford back to you in the studio the united states is mexico's biggest trading partner tell us what
8:34 am
implications this move has well i think strategically it's very important because if you look at it against the background of the china trade talks this is a move against the supply chain he's going for the companies who are producing goods cheaply and selling them in the u.s. and even just trade deficit so i think it's a very targeted move but again a surprise thanks clifford only for now we'll come back to you in a moment now the german chancellor has been speaking out in favor of free trade and multilateral cooperation during a speech at harvard university on thursday and go america took a swipe at the u.s. president and his policies without calling donald trump out by name here's what the german chancellor said. but 6 in this most protectionism and trade conflicts jeopardize free international trade and us the very foundations of our prosperity more than ever we must think and act multilaterally instead of unilaterally. not soon lobel rather than national.
8:35 am
this also is about sinister outward looking rather than isolationist. german chancellor i'm going to marital speaking there cliff let me come back to you the u.s. china trade dispute is the most prominent example of the of the shifts and policies that angle america is criticizing there do we see any progress in that u.s. china trade. i think i think we're seeing the opposite we're seeing a new tariffs now coming from china at the weekend it's going to 2 sides are entrenched in their position even more and i think this this move in mexico is going to throw things into even further confusion only back to you in frankfurt what are investors preparing for in the days weeks and months ahead they're preparing for trying to continue on this path staying true to herself and they're fearing that it might lead to

a lot of pain in the short run and as i said earlier a lot of that pain is falling on sectors like agriculture. and i think the calculus is how long are we and our farmers are willing to accept that short run pain in exchange for potentially the long run again of more open markets and more opportunities in china china's president paying an trump or jew to meet at the june g. 20 meeting in japan until then there's little chance of an end to this increasingly bitter conflict. now you just saw there in the report coffee is becoming very popular in china big name coffee shops pot boehm popping up everywhere it has the reputation of being the land of tea but china now produces more beans than coffee powerhouses costa rica and kenya combined. never arrived in every major
