in studio we have yankel or tell a transatlantic follow in your program at the german marshall fund of the united states yanga massive expectations leading up to the summit has what we've seen today in the last few hours match the hype. yes and no i think is probably the right answer to this one because there was a different degree of excitement about among the expert community expectations were actually very limited in this summit in the public also because it was on and off and on and off and it wasn't clear whether it was would get take place i think the expectation level didn't let match the hype let's put it like that but the the outcome as far as we can see from right now is ok it's not disastrous it's a beginning of a process it's probably as much as could be expected at this point as you mentioned the document of the two leaders signed mentions denuclearize asian it doesn't mention verifiable and irreversible nuclearization as you mentioned neighboring countries south korea china are watching this very closely what kind of geo political ramifications could something like this h

now is tariffs but in the long run eighty three percent of our members are actually in favor of a transatlantic trade agreement so they say this should definitely be there somewhere in the in the future and i think it's important that we talk about those we can take our business relations for granted anymore it's not only true for values but we have to continue showing to the u.s. administration that on the one side german businesses in the u.s. provide for a seven hundred thousand jobs invest in infrastructure and in the workforce qualification but it's also important. for our american companies that the u.s. and at ministration understands that they also profit from free markets is this something very concrete that bilin good to do for example germany's massive traits plus not just a bone of contention of from the u.s. perspective but also from european neighbors well the companies are not so worried about the trade surplus of germany i think in general it is easier dealt with by germany at home when we look at investments that we can do in germany i think what the companies actually advocate

interdependency and that's what we're seeing right now and i guess fundamentally can we have a transatlantic alliance coalition as it were can't co-exist with america first and donald trump michael. well it's be it's beginning to erode what we're seeing is an erosion and perhaps a replacement of the u.s. led unilateral world order and i think that the breaking out of leaving the the iranian deal the j.c. p.o. way was a watershed moment for countries that in a year asia and especially iran as well as in western europe and what we're seeing emerge now is a new geo political shift to a much more multi-polar approach and we're already seeing this just like what you probably saw in st petersburg with with the belt road initiative combined with the yes the shanghai cooperation organization and the year asia european union all beginning to come together with its membership forming this separate economic world order bloc that that's actually going to counter and respond to what donald trump has now done i think europe europe as well because of the sanctions are going to read are going to rebel to ou

crisis in the transatlantic relationship, it is because of one person. the president. everything will come back to a normalcy. it is something i do not believe to be true. underlyinge have an question mode about the transatlantic articulations. that af people forget strong relationship is recent. diplomacyhe american wanted to avoid any involvement in european affairs. ofwas the basic tenet american foreign policy stemming address bymous last president george washington in 1797. americans have been involved in two world wars. it was against their will. and 1939 made914 the decision to be neutral. because, in the first world war, the famous submarine war. harbor because of pearl and the declaration of war on germany. expect, you could americans to withdraw from europe the way they did in 1919, but they did not do it. first because the british and wanted to ensure the security of the continent, soviet.ly facing particularoted in context, the cold war. the shape of the relationship was a military alliance under american leadership. i was telling bill i was at nato in the late 1990's and i remember the

dealing with a random president it's not clear that those links will be perceived either but what does this do then to transatlantic time moving forward because we know at the end of the day this this has to do with a lot more than just economics and business doesn't it it's like a relationship there are shocks a good relationship can survive and there are others that will end it i hope to think of this is something that there will be a time after trump and the basic interests will assert themselves is trump aiming at the wrong targets is china actually the target he should be zoned in on. i would certainly think this is the major. player by unconventional rules where it takes an agreement a lot of agreements and a lot of hard negotiations and a coordinated effort among many trading partners but sort of i just do not understand why this would be his first target all right recall your column is that if he instituted the for university here in berlin and my colleagues and i don't think from our business that the both of you think you. are coming up on the day spain's prime minister looks set to lose his job over a co

crisis but at least a question mode about the transatlantic correlations. why? first, a lot of people forget that strong transatlantic relationship is recent. in 1945 the american diplomacy was very keen on avoiding any involvement into the european affairs. it was a sort of basic tenet of the american foreign-policy stemming from the very famous speech last address by president george washington in 1797. you know that the americans have been involved in two world wars not because of their own decisions but late first, 1917, 1941 and it was against their will. the americans in 1914 and 1939 had taken the decision to remain neutral. they couldn't because of, the first world war, you know, the famous submarine war. and in 1941 because of pearl harbor and a declaration of war on germany on december 1941. in 1945 you could expect the americans to withdraw from europe the way they did in 1919 or 1920 but they didn't do it. first because the british and the french were totally enabled and is hence to ensure the security of the continent, especially

world, a transatlantic partnership matters just as much as it ever? in terms of challenges that emanate across the other sof the mediterranean. a there an argument for different kind of transatlantic partnership? ambassador araud: of course. relationships, i am simply expressing my worry about the resident status of them. -- present status of them. i think we have common interests dend. in a sense, beyond the usual spectrum of transatlantic policies. for instance, trade. president trump is raising a real issue with trade. what is fair trade compared to free-trade? we have simply believed that that globallynt you have pluses and minuses. our citizens are sending the message that enough is enough with this global crisis. so what does it mean, free trade? transportation of intellectual property and so on? the same question is in all of our societies throughout the western world. the high-tech company are raising a lot of questions in our countries. for instance, taxation. all of the taxation systems we have are based on b

ip and go back that it was a transatlantic trade agreement that in fact the us yeah also walked away from absolutely but maybe that's a new opportunity for the new talks maybe we should take out the investment part because that was like the europeans are very critical on that part and we should do only talk about trade but that would be a good start for the new new negotiation we just heard referencing he doesn't think this could escalate into a full fledged trade war you did mention that possibility in your opening statement we have seen both the e.u. canada and mexico now announcing what are called counterbalancing measures that means additional targeted terrorists within the system but that definitely would take this to another level it's still largely political symbolism these products that have been chosen by cecilia monstro are directed. that's a great commissioner for the e.u. for that you from sweden and she selected products that are symbolic because they come from areas where trump was elected and also to be i think it is not directly hit that i mean it's not i expressed my
