trans—pacific partnership, tpp, now known as cp tpp. known as cp tpp. negotiations with nafta betweeno and the us. mexico and the us. irrelevant topic but something that means a lot to him. means a lot to him. arrangement can be renegotiated or will it be cancelled? -- korea. it is still up in the air. is still up in the air. not to so it's a tough thing to predict, his presidency. predict, his presidency. paris being slapped on some asian goods —— tariffs. goods —— tariffs. then you have the renegotiation of trade arrangements. renegotiation of trade arrangements. what do you think will be trump... agenda for asia, will it be good or bad? bad? of the global gdp and now it is less than half. than half. that and it's unfortunate for the us in particular. gmt, 10am hong kong singapore time, right here on bbc world news. right here on bbc world news. enter the australian market, its first overseas foray. first overseas foray. start commercial operations early this year. this year. let's go to delhi and we arejoined by our business reporter. arejoined by our business reporter. to compete

if the president were to consider doing a multi lateral deal like the trans pacific partnership, do you think that would be good news >> i think the trans pacific partnership was good news for the world economy. i think it was actually a very good deal. i think the american business community supported the deal i supported the deal the notion of being able to negotiate a better deal, i would like to know what that is. he also called it a worst deal or one of the worst deals ever that is not how the business community felt about it. so the second thing i would say, because i did listen to his comments, is he started with a general notion he prefers bilateral trade agreements by the way, his measure whether a trade agreement is good or not is whether the u.s. runs a trade surplus. okay, that is not a measure of whether a trade agreement is good or not. >> yeah, we have that discussion a lot with larry who is very frustrated about that. >> yes. >> i would say the ttp would never happy no matter who won the presidency, right? >> i don't know. i don't know walking away, this is why i say thi

that countries within the trans—pacific partnership are pressing on, signing up to the deal in marchmment from justin trudeau who says the new deal will help reverse the growing trend of protectionism around the world. is that why president trump is going, so he is still relevant?” think he saw what happened last year with president xi getting the headlines and the attention. when he saw president macron on bastille day, he said to him you should go to davos, set out your case and go to these world leaders, there are loads of them there. i think he thought it would be fun and engaging and it is interesting, the basketball term is a full—court press. the huge number of the cabinets of his cabinet, are going over to davos as well. they wa nt going over to davos as well. they want to sell their message, they don't want to be shy about doing that and they think it is a worthwhile exercise and a different argument to be put. that is the conventional argument heard at davos. you were quickly going to come back on back, simon? yes, everyone is super keen to see president macron. there is a

always said he was going to kill off were big multilateral trade deals, specifically the tra ns—pacific partnershipas it is known, he did pull the us out, and given the fact that america was the biggest economy in the deal, many thought it would die, it didn't. the 11 other countries in the agreement decided to push ahead without the us in it. in fact, the us looks like it could be the one losing out, geopolitically at least, as the rest of the world carries on. the us still buys more from asia thanit the us still buys more from asia than it sells, and donald trump's and this has been to renegotiate or initiate bilateral trade deals with individual asian countries. it is in the process of renegotiating one deal and that is the us and south korea agreement, but that is of an hour china is another big target. he said he was going to call china a currency manipulator on his first day in office and slap tariffs on chinese goods coming into the us. he didn't. but we have seen moves from the us to keep chinese companies out of the united states. and he has made some headway in getting us financial firms

taken progressive positions on the importance of free trade over the years in terms of trans-pacific partnership, laws and environmental standards. intellectual property rights, just to name a few. great progress but obviously our work continues. today we will talk about how important the trade of experts are to our cities. and those of mexico and canada. and how that relationship has prospered as we talked about the issues of nafta. mexico and canada are among the countries largest trading partners and we will hear about that in a second. at first i thought i would share just for a minute, how important the border cities and how important trade is with cities like san diego. i will introduce my friend from tijuana in just a second. it is not about to cities, that strength is one region. and how we are working together.how we are creating good quality jobs on both sides of the border. how it is incredibly important to our economy. san diego alone, approximately 110,000 jobs that are in our city because of nafta, because of trade. mexico is the number one trade partner and canada is the second. w

i mean, giving away the trans-pacific partnership basically left china to write its own ticket for tradea. and he wants to destroy nafta. i think that's also a big negative for him and makes him unpopular with so many people who would normally be supporters, but they see their jobs at risk. and he also has, i think, made a big mistake by characterizing immigration as a liability to the united states. paul: well, now there you opened up at the large second a larger debate. all right. after we come back, after aç rancorous year in washington, president trump and republican leaders say they're optimistic they can work with democrats in 2018 on common policy goals from infrastructure to immigration. we'll take a look at the prospects for bipartisanship next. ♪ ♪ hey, you every talk to anybody about your money? yeah, i got some financial guidance a while ago. how'd that go? he kept spelling my name with an 'i' but it's bryan with a 'y.' yeah, since birth. that drives me crazy. yes. it's on all your email. yes. they should know this? yeah. the guy was my brother-in-law. that's ridiculous. wel

talking about renegotiating remember early on in his presidency last year he quitted the trans-pacific partnership deal the deal with twelve countries in asia and in the americas the other countries are not pursuing their deal if they're supposed to sign it in march in chile without the u.s. and yet he's still talking perhaps if they were to change their position a bit he would come back to that so this is a president who i think it's clear also on climate change when he says no pulls out of something it's not necessarily no forever this is a president who can change his mind certainly the audience here at davos will be looking for concrete information coming from the president i was speaking a little earlier four to one veteran of this gathering is becoming very many times who said what people look for these are very important people who have lots of busy things to do in the world the reason they come to davos is to get concrete information it was suggested to me for example the french president mark roll when he spoke here manual micro he said that france would shut all its coal powered power st

well trump is famous for his america first mantra he cancel the trans-pacific partnership ban has threatened to tear up the north american free trade act but he has changed his tune recently saying america first does not mean america alone or the world will be watching for more science on that front trillions of dollars traded back and forth between the united states and the rest of the world most of the biggest names in american industry went global generations ago and now employ hundreds of thousands of people in overseas offices and operations even the trump licensing empire although by no means among the biggest corporations is worldwide well ordering americans take part in global trade to every day the united states exports a trillion and a half dollars in goods and imports twice that american consumers depend heavily on asian manufacturers more than five hundred billion dollars and goods are important to us shelves every year americans get the majority of their oil and gas from overseas and even a growing portion of the food americans eat comes from abroad the figure is about twenty pe

at the world economic forum canadian prime minister justin trudeau is set to sign the trans-pacific partnership the t p p along with ten other countries and you'll remember that canada had withdrawn from the deal said that it was going to withdraw after the u.s. pulled out of the trade deal but negotiations between the united states and mexico over revamped nafta the north american free trade deal has put pressure on can canada to diversify its trade pact so the t.p. people eliminate tariffs for goods and improve access to services plays in the services sector in several sectors rather and countries that are involved is set to sign in early march now the main message from trudeau was if you want to fix your economy employ women we spent the day yesterday talking to top officials here in davos from this say it is about how to close the gender gap. no matter how you look at it there are still far more men than women and davos but something's changing and not just the numbers the forum is discussing topics like harassment power and injustice more intensely than ever before the seven high profile w

canada announced it will be joining ten other countries as part of a revised trans-pacific partnershipa deal the president did walk away from a few months after he took office. earlier this week the president signed off on tariffs on foreign-made solar panels and washing machines. >> and the u.s. is still a major player, you cannot understate that, but the world is moving on. europe, japan, china, all moving on. i mean, you have to realize, the fact that justin trudeau announced tpp being renewed while they were in davos, that says a lot. and some concern about this argument, it's a huge drain on our system. it's not. >> you look at what happened immediately after the u.s. pulled out of that deal. the other countries in that tpp partnership meeting with each other, working to move that deal forward. this conversation about nafta continuing, they were up in montreal, having these negotiations. it's worth remembering, you look at business interests through the u.s. chamber of commerce, other lobbying groups, they're in favor of what they've seen broadly speaking. if you look at that trad

no dispute settlement body trump seem to signal some openness to rejoining the trans-pacific partnership what would that mean concretely. that's really hard to say because the p.p.d. now comes into existence specifically and particularly without the united states so i don't see the us really having any leverage right here and what's interesting also is that with the p.p. happening without the u.s. nuff the negotiations with canada and mexico both parties to p.p.p. p.p. that's that's a whole lot of p.c.'s as well. become harder for the us because the us is the kid sitting outside the classroom right now. trump today it was almost a trump we rarely see he seemed to stick with message he didn't seem to make off the cuff remarks he seemed to have a scripted speech and he delivered it looked like using the teleprompter is this the trump that the international community wants to see a more restrained stylistically stylistically yes. i mean would that would have been the worst case trump who has you know mumbling getting going off this way in his train of thought so a lot of voters love that i

. >> and indeed the trans-pacific partnership, tpp has declared itself an 11-member strong unit, freenit without the united states. >> this is an important moment. in some sense people expected tpp after the united states withdrew would expire, that would be the end of it. instead, you found canada and other countries stepped into the breach and said, look, we will seek to maintain the global order the u.s. once chose to lead. the question for the u.s. will be whether or not we want to try to regain that position and reestablish our authority or whether we are more comfortable in an age in which we are not so clearly the primary leader. >> evan osnos, thank you for your insight. >> my pleasure. thanks, christiane. >> my comfort earlier with evan on the continuing global rise of china. that's it for our program tonight. thanks for watching "amanpour" on pbs. join us again tomorrow night. ♪ >>> "amanpour" on pbs was made possible ♪ christian: you're watching "beyond 100 days." our top stories, the deputy director of the fbi steps down with immediate effect. it is believed andrew mccabe

i think it was a massive mistake to exit out of the tpp or trans-pacific partnership.t would be equally devastating or even more so to get out of nafta. >> all right, senator. >> so, there are things that a lot of this doesn't come to legislation at this point, but it likely will. >> senator, i wish we had more time. thank you so much. senator jeff flake from arizona. >>> now, the unprecedented debate around president trump's mental health has raised the question of how we navigate these turbulent times to a whole new height. i sat down with the editor of "the new yorker," david remnick, who's been at the helm of the magazine for almost 20 years, to discuss this and why he thinks trump's behavior is having a corrosive effect. david, welcome. >> thanks for having me, christiane. >> good to see you. your latest column in "the new yorker" goes all the way back in history to describe how you see the really millennial view about it, nero. >> we might be running out of metaphors. just as our nerves are getting so jangled. but yes, he resembled a mad emperor at this point, so

apology for retweeting a british racist group and even floating the idea of rejoining the trans-pacific partnershipwhat do you make of this change? >> well, in terms of the racist british group, he did sort of quasi apologize to piers morgan about that, who had been a big booster of trump and had criticized him for it. but the truth is that it's only very recently that trump took down those tweets. they were up for weeks after it was known that this was a racist group and that one of those particular tweets was completely bogus. so, that's typical of trump. when it comes to the -- what was the other question? i'm sorry. what was the second part of that question, dara? >> the second part was that, you know, he has won the group over by sticking to the script. has that changed? i mean, has he really won people over by he is sticking to what is written for him instead of going off of the script? >> well, you know, he's given several speeches where he was reading from a teleprompter and they were reasonable language, sometimes very well-crafted language. the danger with trump is always that he'll get o

is not really done all that much on the protections and fronts yes ok he ripped up the trans-pacific partnership which was this big trade deal that president obama had been putting together along with lots of the pacific nations but of course hillary clinton had promised to do the same so in actual fact he didn't really alter the outlook that's much of course we are concerned about nafta the north american free trade agreement with canada or mexico there's more talks but to be honest he's not he seems to be coming around to the idea that actually trade is good trade does creates u.s. jobs as well american economy american companies do benefit from trade so he's aggressive stance has perhaps moderated to some extent he still doesn't think is that america is being treated as fairly as other countries are by trade and still wants to sort of tweak to make changes around the edges but ripping up and completely doing away with free trade agreements he seems to be pulling back from that that as well as you mentioned he has done that on the t t p p's made noises about nafta what has his protectionism st
