right now to say the least in the u.s. china trade war one of the world's biggest employers taiwan spock's contect knology group says that it is preparing to move its production facilities out of china why is that. foxconn is worried about what investors are thinking investors are seeing this long war between china and the us get longer and longer this trade war is something that a lot of people in the business community in the investment community want to see go away and foxconn is one of those companies that is affected by this now what foxconn is saying is listen which is their biggest client and that happens to be an american company there saying we can start moving our operations or productions out of china to one of our many other facilities that we have across the world and we can supply you a valid way now of china is not of when it comes to foxconn foxconn is taiwan base so as you can see here it's a bit of a split moving away all these operations out of china into different parts of the

world but again you know these guys make i pads they make i phones they assemble these things so apple is very reliant on them now looking at the current situation and with these demands that apple has from them. saying we'll move to one of these other countries they have operations all around the world to japan vietnam. the czech republic brazil and mexico but here is the issue at hand apple might be a huge 2 clients of foxconn but so is china so we're looking at this 1st of all 50 percent of fox conn's revenue is related to apple so massive and analysts say only about 25 percent of their manufacturing facilities are outside of china so how they expect to meet these goals. quite clear on that but if the company says it could do so well it might be able to do so but there's another angle here which is political the guy who's the chairman of this company terry go he is going to be running for president of taiwan or at least he hopes to he's learning for the leadership. the

nationalist party there and if you know anything about taiwan nationalists they're not friends of china but this guy is friends of the united states and also friends with tim cook and donald trump has given them a thumbs up so he's playing the american card here stepping away from china though when you think about the amount of business that china gives you it's going to be a hard sell i'm sure that not all investors will like to hear that. and another aging u.s. ally also seems to play an america came when it comes to the china u.s. trade war what can you tell us. you know looks like a japanese company has pledged allegiance to the united states of america and that would be tokyo electron tokyo electron is the number 3 supplier of some conductors in the world and what they're saying is that any company in china that is blacklisted by the united states well they're not going to do business with them and that's a hit against china because china is really trying to these guys actually make the benefactor equipment for semiconductors and china's trying to make its own semiconductor seeing that it relies heavily on the u.s.

europe and japan for this type of equipment so these companies saying that we're going to stop it well you know what it might be opening up the floodgates and other japanese companies may follow suit this is the american style of hardball they're expecting other companies around the world to basically listen to their rules and not do business with china and when you see somebody like this in japan falling into line well you know this could be a bit of trouble for china but then again it could spread a little bit a little trouble for japan as well because look the proximity those 2 nations very close and like it or not they do a lot of business with each other. you know the u.s. may be playing hardball but not all the companies are responding to those tactics and moving in the same direction as the u.s. would like them to when it comes to the trade battle with china and specifically the this attempt to isolate huawei but there's also some resistance to that ban coming from the home front on american soil and iraq. true enough you know and looking at what we have been what we would be hit by tokyo electron if you'd stop

doing what they're doing with china but looking at the states the big things going on there as well we're talking about the u.s. budget chief russell void he's basically saying listen this is not a good idea for us to just start walking away this quickly from china especially while way wall ways a company that a lot of our people rely on to get things done especially in rural communities so we need time to be able to wean ourselves off of while we products in 2 years isn't enough we might have to extend that to 4 years he's also saying you know this is just the way things are we do not want to affect businesses at home because of some tariff war and of course the bottom line is the tariff war is hurting everybody but when you look at the rural communities in the states that's when the americans get really sensitive alex mayhill of the chinese up a lot of loose ends are from toronto thank you. just. one of the u.s. markets popped up nearly one percent this morning they are quickly losing steam as the tech stocks failed to break out major headwind stemming from the trade war are dampening the queues despite several positive headlines the kids flat line they are

quickly turned negative mid day as traders are pessimistic with more on that we turn to add. a match trading grip so this is an ominous sign when the day looked to be so good in the mornings but on the good headlines but then conditions quickly deteriorated but let's focus on the positives here for a moment amazon just overtaken google and apple to become the world's most valuable brand at $315.00 to have $1000000000.00 it seems to have businesses in a variety of sectors from health care to airlines to food give us the latest there and what can we expect from amazon going forward. thanks for having me and in terms of amazon. what's even more remarkable than what they've accomplished is the speed at which they've accomplished in the last 20 years they've passed so many companies that have been in existence in double or triple the amount of time when i. look at the other names in the top 15 for biggest brands you see stalwarts like mcdonald's

and coca-cola so to see amazon is number one when they started off selling books just a remarkable story and in terms of the pullback today we just have to remember that last week was the best week of the year for markets so we got to determine if this is a real pullback or just profit taking. and like facebook amazon seems to now be dipping its toes into the banking sector as well they'll be soon launching a credit card bill there for customers who have bad credit to slowly rebuild their credit score why do you think they're going in this direction and why is this an attractive market segment for amazon. 2 main reasons why amazon's moving into the sector number one is the majority of americans live paycheck to paycheck so they need to finance their transactions number 2 over the last 3 years what i call m.v.p. has outperformed fattened and b.p. is master card visa pay pal so that has been the best place to be in and amazon

which gets its hands into anything that has any chance of success is certainly going to move there of its outperforming fan so it's a logical move for them and not surprising what will be interesting to note though is when apple moved into this sector they couldn't go around visa and master card american express they had to go through them because they were too ingrained in the space amazon currently works with the biggest providers but i'm wondering if they could go round them which would then be a hit to the biggest names in that space. and the current interest rate let's look at this is looks very high the 20.45 percent and as you mentioned it's aimed at people who have a poor credit rating is a really high rate like that really a good option for someone who has had trouble making their credit payments. and is a little tone deaf maybe at a time when proposals to cap interest rates are being put on the table. i think

tone deaf is the perfect word i saw that i can believe it and and so they're looking to build up people's credit but if they're late to payments they're going to get charged 28 percent and these are people with a history of not paying their bills on time so it actually to me just seems mean and amazon did the deal with synchrony bank when i bought my house i bought a whole bunch of gym equipment at the same time and they said it's 0 percent financing with the bank i pay the bills on time but when you get those bills the fine print shows you essentially that if you're late at all you will be destroyed and it's the same thing here so i think i don't know if it's worth it for them to do it because of the potential reputation hits for what they could do to people that don't pay their bills on time so i agree i think tone deaf is the perfect word and turning back to apple who's been defined on here by amazon it looks like apple and broadcom have struck a new deal for radio frequency components do you think that apple is shopping

around for new suppliers right now because their global search supply chain is endangered by these trade wars. well be irresponsible if they didn't keep their options open but broadcom is someone they have had a relationship with for many many years so them continuing to have that relationship isn't surprising the language they didn't show the monetary value but the language was one thing i call it was it says that they intend to but are not required to so that does give them some wiggle room in the event that the landscape changes but in terms of the deal i don't think it was a surprise and i don't think the stocks reflected any major announcement in that sense i think it was kind of business as usual at a match about a match trading at thank you so much for being here. thanks for having me. there is a corporate casualty report to report in the still building scandal over the us opioid addiction an overdose crisis insists there are putin has declared bankruptcy

after a $225000000.00 settlement with the federal government over their marketing practices as part of that settlement that insists admitted last week that it had created a fake speaker program that was a vehicle to deliver bribes to doctors who were granted agreed to prescribe opioid product called subsurface the u.s. attorney who led the settlement process said for years insisting gaged in prolonged illegal conduct the prioritize its profits over the health of the thousands of patients who relied on it and says the stock price had reached as high as $46.20 in 2015 and says stock has lost more than half its value in the days since the settlement falling as low as $0.62 per share before tumbling today to $0.26. time now for a quick break here because when we return tabs on mexico have been out voided for

now about what could be in store for trade coffee and the center for international policy joins us to step down the trade at a profit. and i've got a break here as a number that's. for q.e. 4 is now well under way can't taper a ponzi scheme no economics matters only money printing and stock manipulation. we are in a strange situation where everybody is making a lot of noise about military action against iran but nobody in the part of that

alliance actually wants to do it there's no desire for it so do you hope that the iran makes a mistake. somehow. and then does it some kind of confrontation and then the iranians will be forced to come to the table you know begging for some kind of solution on american terms but you know i think that is dreaming that's a. recent high level controversy surrounding you tube clearly demonstrate the online universe and freedom of speech are not on the same page the font from says it wants to ban extremism it is probably fair to say most would agree on this the problem is how you tube defines this concept. feel welcome. normal guy called. a member of the real world will know when the

while it may be raising prices for the consumer and even worse for the pigs it appears the ongoing swine fever epidemic in china is playing well for traders of china's pork breeding stocks the epidemic which is sweeping several nations is seen by many as the worst animal disease outbreak in history and is expected to cause china's pig population to decline by 20 percent by the end of this year traders are expecting the situation to raise port prices to eclipse record highs set in 2016 hunan province pig farming company mill you want foodstuff has witnessed stock price increases of 102 percent over the last 12 months and shaanxi shot has run

skyrocketed 260 percent over that same period with between 150 and 200000000 hogs cold due to the disease since the outbreak began in august of 2018 china's imports of pork are expected to rise by 41 percent this year but with the ongoing trade dispute don't expect the u.s. to fill that void as pork exports to other countries have been down 5 percent year over year for the 1st quarter of 2019. china is mobilizing instep amounts to g. 20 nations to drum up support against us you know louder as i'm before the meeting and at the end of this month since trade talks have broke down and the ever present escalation of terror that they have looking to appeal to the international community to stand together at this darkest hour a protection of them to avert a looming. trade war and support the global trade order beijing implied that the us was the real troublemaker for raising terrace and investigate and instigating a trade war with officials saying that the us is

a terrorist are inconsistent with the principles of market competition on basic business ethics china is defending its position saying that they refuse to be bullied or pressured by the us who undermine trade talks by demanding hundreds of changes to chinese law she home advisor to the state council revealed that in essence the trade war is not about reducing the trade surplus between the us and china but rather the trump and ministration overreaching their power and inserting themselves to change how the communist party runs the nation's economic activities at home meanwhile trump continues to try to force china back to the negotiating table by threatening to stop tariffs on another $300000000000.00 of chinese exports to the u.s. if president keep paying does not meet him at g 20 beijing hit back saying that the u.s. should bear the sole responsibility for the stalled talks because it kept making demands that threaten china sovereignty. us president donald trump has declared

victory in his confrontation with mexico over migration issues but critics say it's another case of the u.s. president over selling the results of his the tricks some experts are saying the episode will do lasting damage to cross border commerce and diplomacy between the neighboring nations here to give us her perspective is mexico city based laura carlson director of the americas program at the center for international policy laura welcome to boom bust. thank you laura let's start with just the premise of the drama we just went through that there is a crisis at the us mexico border that demanded these remarkable threats from president trump you called that promise a centrally falls how would you characterize the current conditions at the border and in the region. there is no crisis at the border in terms. immigration the numbers that we're seeing now are not historically unprecedented there been higher numbers in the past in the in the early 2000 and they're not unmanageable

there's also been a change in the flows that we're seeing from central america primarily from guatemala honduras and el salvador in the sense that more women and children are coming out and there are more asylum seekers there and migrants are just trying to cross the border. and go into the country as undocumented workers and usually single adults which has been the pattern in the past so what this means is that these people have a right to due process they have a right to seek asylum in the united states and the response to what's happening it should be twofold it should be 1st of all having more asylum officers on the border who can process these cases and secondly to go back to these central american countries and say what's going wrong here that's causing so many people to feel forced to flee because of the violence and political crises that are happening in those countries that's why instead of seen this as

a border crisis we have to see it as a humanitarian crisis people who need it and have the right to protection and deal with it as such now on the agreement between the u.s. and mexico has been contested in terms of how much is near and why it actually does walk us through what the mexican delegation agreed to and how much of a good or bad can be attributed to their trying terror threats. were the agreement says that they will send $6000.00 national guard members the new military police and that was formed by president under his manuel lopez obrador to the southern border to basically stop the flows of immigrants not stop them because nobody can do that to crack down there and so human rights groups in mexico are not happy. the about that but it's not new in the sense that there's been both military and police carrying out crackdowns and raids on caravans of migrants for

some months now the other part of it is the expansion of what's called remain in mexico program and although that it's called the migrant protection protocol in the united states which is a misnomer because it's anything but protection for migrants and what it means is that people who seek asylum in the united states are then sent back to mexico to await their asylum hearings and with the backlog that exists now that can take up to a year so we've got a lot of people coming back to those border cities in mexico and created in a huge strain on infrastructure and the ability to attend to their basic needs on the mexican side of the border and they didn't give figures and there is an expansion of that program it will now include more border cities it's benty one an air power so primarily and now will presumably include more border cities on that it also includes in this is something that doesn't talk about commitment by the

u.s. and mexican governments to the regional development plan that mexico developed with the united nations for honduras el salvador and guatemala again there's no specific figures in terms of what the investment will be in that plan or even the real details of what u.s. involvement would be in it but that's the other feature of it it's true that these programs existed before but they didn't have the same measure of commitment and in some ways it's irresponsible for the press to say that this agreement accomplished nothing because what's happening and we can see it now as we look at the tweets that are coming from donald trump is that it provokes an anti immigrant and very aggressive and abusive. dent into taking perhaps harsher measures if that were to happen we could see even more massive violation of human rights and moving forward laura you noted the national association of manufacturers as one of

the most notable establishment voices raising alarm when the terror threat was on the table we discussed tourist automakers face at length here in the terrify you know for these stakeholders does. this agreement mean a simple return of the status quo ante or is there going to be lingering uncertainty with mr trump calling tariffs indefinitely suspended. there is uncertainty because they have been suspended mostly because not of the agreement but because the republican party and the major industrialists as you mentioned and trade associations immediately told him that that would be a very bad idea in terms of their interests but there it creates uncertainty uncertainty is a real problem for the mexican economy is so dependent as it is on the u.s. economy and it's a problem for importers and producers in the united states as well the relationship

was already in a crisis since trump came to office because of his pattern of mexico bashing and using economic instruments to bully countries into doing things that are unrelated you know yes it's shaken the relationship you know when you start a fire like this with your neighborhood it doesn't end well it's clearly not going to end soon or carlson of the center for international policy thank you so much for your insight. thank you. they are the venky's salad are monday has been m.i.a. since it's sold at auction for a record of 450000000 dollars and 2017 but now the famed payday. appears to have been located by our net dot com where you ask it is being kept on the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon superyacht the serene according to 2 principals
