president andres manuel lopez obrador says he will respond with quote great prudence to trump's latest threat and that it won't stop his country from ratifying the new nafta agreement the u.s. chamber of commerce america's top business lobby as meanwhile said it is considering legal action to stop the move. and let's take a closer look at this with our financial correspondent yens quarter in new york. how are the markets responding to this news. well quite allergic hardly anybody here on wall street saw this coming and we saw a quite a sell of chips down by a good 350 points ending the week mostly on the lowest level on the day and just to put this into perspective we've traded lower for 6 consecutive weeks so that is actually the longest losing streak in about 8 years so certainly not

a very good reception here on wall street so a punctuation mark on a bad month who is set to be hit the hardest were these tariffs to come into place . it's mostly common you're factors. suppliers to the car industry but then also we also see some trade for computer equipment for example from mexico to the u.s. but you could clearly see that common your factor is probably will be hit hardest and we also saw that here with stock prices general motors losing about 4 and a half percent just here on friday. yes there are reports coming out that trump's own traded visor actually advised him against this move but what's behind that reasoning. yes certainly i mean we got actually the head of the treasury steve muchin and also one of the biggest trait in visors is they're both saying

that they do not agree with the president on this measure on the other side so we have the hard liner peter navarro saying that he considers this move from u.s. president to donald trump a brilliant so obviously quite different opinions on that and besides that makes it cold now this weekend countermeasures from china actually will go into effect so we certainly opened up a couple of new friends have been also people on wall street are asking what does that all mean for possible kateri of the european union so at this point everything seems to be possible but as we've seen this shop reaction on wall street maybe u.s. president donald trump might reconsider and so that those terrorists mexico might be avoided at the end so the trade tangle getting even more complicated there . for us in new york thank you now the u.s.
