business i'm going on in berlin welcome china has once again filed a complaint with the world trade organization against the united states it's a 3rd following a further escalation in the trade war between the world's top 2 economy the chinese ministry of commerce said in a statement that washington's latest tariff actions violated the trade truce reached by both governments in june on the sidelines of the g 20 summit in the socket. but how did that as collation look like in case are losing track here's a refresher this weekend the united states imposed levies on an additional $112000000000.00 of chinese exports while beijing is countering with tariffs on $75000000000.00 in u.s. goods smart speakers headphones and shoes are among the chinese products to be made more expensive by u.s. terrorist. meanwhile will hit you ask who toil with

a 5 percent tariff it's the 1st time oil has been targeted in this dispute and this isn't the end of the u.s. plans to raise existing tariffs on 250 $1000000000.00 in chinese exports from currently 25 percent to 30 percent and in december a further 15 percent tariff on chinese cell phones laptops and clothes that will mean that virtually every product made in china will be subject to tariffs in the u.s. now here's what donald trump had to say about those roundup duties. we are going to get generated the meeting is still on as you know the debt there that they advocate we have we would add that we cared about generator which was still very very good we cared. to take $500000000000.00 the gear out of our guard we care through that. our correspondent our correspondent in washington pablo falling joins us now pablo

this latest round of u.s. tariffs on chinese products is the 1st to directly impact consumer goods how badly will they affect american households. well we're talking about you know more than 2 thirds of consumer goods which american consumers are buying from china and like he said just before we're talking about everything from smart watches to t.v.'s to shoes sporting goods and actually j.p. morgan has said that the average american household could be paying up $2000.00 more per year on those good stock are affected now u.s. companies are saying that they're going to be forced to pass on those price increases to consumers but of course we're talking about a very complicated consumer market because a lot of retailers have been sort of in that essentially competition with online retailers who have this ability to have perhaps a lower prices so there's been

a battle going on there over who can hold on to you know consumer buying and what they've been trying to do is avoid passing on those price hikes to consumers but it is you know at a point now where it's proving and particularly difficult for particularly smaller retailers who are going to have to you know somehow deal with these increases and you know it's a particularly complicated situation and also there's a lot of fear that later this year when we could see those further trade tariffs cake in that we're talking about anywhere up to 99 percent of consumer goods that americans buy from china being affected so particularly very worrying times here for the for the consumer market. potential for american suppers up ahead there but john pozza insisted that the talks with china this month are happening and continued escalation so is resolution closer or further away what do you think.

that's like the $1000000.00 question you know and it's a it's very hard to know exactly what direction we're going to go donald trump you know adamant that these talks are going to go ahead now china on the other hand has said that it appears and a lot of analysts are saying that they're playing perhaps the long game that donald trump who is facing reelection next year is you know worried that the economy is being affected let's not forget that in the 2nd quarter of this year you know the economy slowed considerably so i think we've got a long way to go before a resolution is reached between donald trump and china probably. there for us in washington thank you very much. now to solve the other global business stories making news china's top giant wall way is set to present its latest smartphone the main 30 on september 19th in munich here in germany the
