this is joining us we're the stop sign with us president donald trump -- this friday saying trade talks with china have been continuing. what he called a very congenial mana? but off the market's jitters over his -- somewhat more aggressive t towards beieijing tweets earlilier.. and vigorouous defense of new taririffs imposed on chinese importrts. sees and underfefed trades.. whe imbalances go investors borate about a full scale trade war -- has -- talks between these t two
3:31 pm
are powerless was you. i'm joined by a p. crossman wasn't infinite crowther good evening to you phillip. what's the latest. yeah no deal at today here in washington between china and the united states that had been as serious work here going on on a what the president called. an epic trade deal between china and the united states no -- such results here so far essentially what we're seeing here all two separate stories developing first of all the work on that trade deal the toward the main negotiated with china is about to return home without any kind of announcement on behalf of washington and beijing. now the other part of the story which is developing parallel here it is the fact that those new tariffs have been imposed on chinese goods now by the united states -- those terrorists going up from 10225% on two hundred billion dollars worth of goods so that's a serious escalation in a trade war between the united states. and china and there is a threat
3:32 pm
from the president's here from donald trump -- t that another three hundred and twenty five billion dollars worth of goods would also see an increase 225% so that would be essentially almost everything that is imported from china to the united states. that would have a tariff slapped upon them a trade will very much going on right now between the united s states and china.. how far do you think cuddle time is prepared to push that for th? well we've heard from him today in a series of a tweets he seems to be calm and one said see says there is no rush to come to a deal between china and the united states this is a president after all. who as a contender for the presidency said that he was willing to impose tariffs and certainly has done so he believes he's in a good bargaining position and wants to as you said? but wants to work on that trade imbalance somomethingng that hes almost obsessed with the something that he's s mentioned
3:33 pm
throughout his presidency the launch a trade deal is something that's all the administration's would have wanted to work on as well the united states wants chinaa to stop. its theft of intellectual property from the united states the trade imbalance is supposed to be stopped currency manipulation this is a veryy vey big deal the united states and chinaa i'll still working o on t right nowow by the way because according to the dread the treasury secretary. here in the united states those talks were actuallyly cononstrue and they will be further talks down the line to come to a big deal between the us and china. but in the meantime those tariffs have beenn introduducedy the united states there also already existing tariffs that have been imposed by china. so this is something that will - developed for the for a possibly months to come. thanks for joining us. nonow facebook post t small is a complex met with a manual micron head in paris the french president's pushing for greater regulation all the social media
