is off so at the end of the day at least on wall street the feeling was that there was still no escalation between trade between the biggest 2 biggest economies of the world that's at least was the feeling on wall street tough words you mention it there but given the state that the world economy in is in right now and not escalating the dispute between the world's 2 biggest economies could be a good thing. you know that's what you hear actually from people who actually know what's going on beyond the sea and we shouldn't forget it's an election year and there is the feeling that u.s. president donald trump might actually use even tougher words in the future the closer the elections the goal but that he might hesitate to really let the trade war or the trade agreements and escalate because of that would happen that would

clearly. we bet for the global economy and also for the u.s. economy itself so probably donald trump might be waiting till after the elections if he is getting reelected before things get tougher and you could also see it on wall street when he started the press conference stocks got under pressure but then when there was a lack of action so was stocks recovered and for the months off may dull jones industrial average is up by more than 4 percent. quarter in new york thank you. more than 443000 brazil is the country with the most over $900.00 cases after the united states now president j. boss and arrow has repeatedly played down the dangers of the virus and it's largely the country's governors that have instated preventive measures and the impact on the economy has started to show and experts fear the worst is yet to come. from
