send a sigh of relief through world markets but this is not the trade agreement that the 2 are looking for that will take much longer well they will have to talk about the details where they will have to find compromise and it might go downhill just as it went last. well max and the other significant development at the summit was the e.u. announcing that it's reached a draft agreement of a trade pact with america cursor group of latin american countries now this would be the biggest trade pact in the eaves history. was the timing of this meant to send some sort of message. well i think we can be sure that this was supposed to send a very strong message and the message was look some are trying to reach bilateral agreements and have a very tough time doing so in this case china and the united states and we have been negotiated for 20 years with the markets or states not giving up and finally
1:06 pm
reaching compromise but it was worth it so the message is the european union is a champion of free trade is a champion of the multilateral system and is open for business well max also very significant is that the g 20 well at least without donald trump the rest of the countries there are a new to their commitment to tackle climate change and somehow despite all the differences they are also able to agree on a final communique so do both of these things and qualify as success in your opinion. well the climate change part was one of the most difficult parts together with the trade part so if you reach an agreement there then it's more likely to reach an overall agreement and indeed the negotiators the so-called sherpas had to go through 2 nights straight without sleeping to make it there in the morning a saturday things weren't clear yet the leaders had to intervene and in the end
1:07 pm
