jonathan: that was the airbus ceo speaking with guy johnson. take the a3 80 and break it up to its individual components. the wings made in the united kingdom and you now face brexit. the next generation of aircraft -- where are those components going to be made? pressure is going to come from europe on these companies to germany or france. that you face what is happening in the united states as well. if you want to take a company with a very complex supply chain, take a company like airbus or boeing and think about the political pressure around them at the moment. david: one thing that we know has changed, whatever happens with the trump administration is that ceos are much more focused on where they make things now. it was not a big issue a year ago, but whether it was brexit or donald trump, executives are focused on where we are making our cars. the question is what does that do to international trade with those supply chains? alix: he talked about how he made these decisions for years and but it's now coming out i'm editorializing, but but

shery: a new deal with airbus.discounts, the a320 one will be followed by 99 other jets in the coming years, and the carrier has another deal for 2018. they will work on the order come -- despite concerns donald trump may review the nuclear deal that led to the end of sanctions on iran. yousef: these records will allow uber to put 14,000 taxes across dubai. we have a regional managing director for uber. great to have you on the program. we had the chief executive officer of kareem on as well. lots of opportunity in the middle east. you are capitalizing on that. you have a massive backing from the tis. , $3.8s what is at stake billion. anthony: the investment was part of the global investment in uber . uber is the leading investor in technology, one of the ones we listingn lusting -- globally. driving in pittsburgh and soon other places in the u.s.. yousef: what kind of return is saudi arabia looking for? it is emblematic of what investors are looking for in this part of the world. anthony: a lot of people are inter

there's a lot of people invested in airbus whose best interests are to continue with them.nd i believe they will. >> ira, to go back to you. to tyler's point, if you're a ceo and there is this uncertainty in the air, would you expect that corporate actions, they'll sort of take a pause right now until we figure out what the policies are? >> i think it's worse than that. not only will they take a pause. i'm afraid they're hunkering down because of their uncertainty as to what to do. you talk to ceos. they don't know what's going to happen. one part of uncertainty is to hunker down and do nothing. just wait. don't do anything. because you don't get tweeted. you don't get pestered. you don't get into trouble. so don't do anything. >> gordon, let's go back to the scale, right? our trump-onomics scale. first two months after the election it was largely rah, rah. stock market soared, slashing regulations, tax reform. that's still there. in the past few days we've had this immigration stuff going on. germany being a currency manipulator. people getting a little more nervous. do yo

and the first 100 airbus planes that iran ordered after the nuclear deal arrived in the capital city of tehran. state media called it a historic moment. iran ordered hundreds of western-built planes after world powers lifted the sanctions. analysts say iran air previously used smuggled parts to keep its fleet in the air. when my doctor told me i have age-related macular degeneration, amd, he told me to look at this grid every day. and we came up with a plan to help reduce my risk of progression, including preservision areds 2. my doctor said preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula the national eye institute recommends to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd after 15 years of clinical studies. preservision areds 2. because my eyes are everything. i checked, everything's there... wait a minute... hey... hold on, i can explain. you better have a good answer... switch to geico and you could save a ton of money on your car insurance. why didn't you say so in the first place? i thought you's was wearing a wire. haha, what? why would i wear a wire? gei

covered stories of us hacking the french and the japanese over commercial contracts, and whether airbus and boeing get contracts. all these kinds of things happen every day. the difference here in the russian hacking which was the consensus agreement of 17 agencies, it was weaponized. it was drnted. drnted under order by our own exclusive reporting by vladimir putin and confirmed by the report that was released to wikileaks, whether wikileaks was winning or not winning, wikileaks distributed it and distributed this harmful information, a lot of which could have had an impact on voting and donald trump kept refers to wikileaks during the campaign. he did it again today, in fact. look at the horrible things that john podesta said from wikileaks about hillary clinton, his characterization, not mine. the point is he keeps pointing to wikileaks the conveyor of stolen information hacked by russia and leaked during the campaign and this is the offense which may even be a criminal offense in some regards. we don't know what's been investigated. there have been hints of an investigation. so it's

could just tell you then in my state of mississippi, we are tickled to death to have toyota, nissan, airbus yokohama tire building things with the rest of the world and employing americans right there in mississippi. of course our states have a lot to do with recruiting these industries, but can you highlight for us you ideas about how to have more of this as we try to combat outsourcing of american jobs to other countries, how do we in source companies like nissan and toyota and airbus? >> i think the best incentive for foreign companies to come here is, first of all, we're the worlds largest markets, and so that's a big encouragement. but if we lowered the corporate tax rate, that will be a further inducement for them to come. right now we are not competitive in terms of our marginal tax rate with many other countries against whom we compete. take for example, mexico. their corporate tax rate there is about half what it is in our country, and that's true in many of the other countries. so i think if we can become more competitive in the tax rate, would be a very good thing not only for ke

the biggest is spending a lot of money buying more than 200 planes from airbus for needs to, so spicejet there areight, but concerns that the market in deed may have excess capacity. we have spice increasing, but indigo is doing the same thing too? well, the concern about overcapacity in india has been hurting the aviation industry there for quite a long time. because there is so much competition within india itself, there has been a price war, and we will probably see another price were right now in india. the other aspect if you look at india is the prospect of more overseas travel being allowed now that this new rule has been eased last year by the indian government, which will allow more carriers to offer more flights, and that's why we see singapore airlines and air asia setting up to tap that market. might ease offty with more airlines looking towards overseas for demand. rishaad: thank you very much indeed for that. now, let's get to some data out of australia. yes what? it was a surprise. -- guess what? it was a surprise. the november trade numbers came in ahead of estimates. thi

neil: shield airbus and everything else. >> yes.t's be real clear he is much more of a free market capitalist than anything you go in europe, at least anyone in power. the european union is, let's face it, it is mercantilism almost. donald trump, if he backs off some of his really over the top stuff, he is pretty much in line with what -- neil: what do you make of this latest stuff? i promise to get to the deal, it might or might not help? the fact that a lot of these guys are committing themselves to beefing up u.s. operations, expanding facilities here. cynics are saying that was always in the card anyways. i'm not so sure about that. >> i would say this. some of it has been in the cards. no doubt about that. that some of this is pure pr baloney. this is what is real about this, the positive effect what trump is doing. when you do deals, companies moving overseas, saying we'll cut costs and go there, they're sitting back the president of the united states will oppose me and oppose me virulently, you don't want that i think that's

financial services, manufacturing, automobiles within manufacturing -- quite how they would do with airbusrts of that aircraft. it is going to be a very different way of trying to organize trade and economic policy, and probably one which will have the -- and probably one which will not have the economy that we are used to. matt: and niedermayer from "bloomberg view" wrote a great piece about donald trump's sort of twitter policy. onlookers are hoping that trump can get the kind of response he got from ford, which decided not to invest one point $6 billion in mexico but instead to focus on jobs in michigan, or fiat chrysler, which boosted its investment in michigan and ohio and added another 2000 jobs. automakers are hoping that he can get that kind of response without having to put a 35% tariff on goods from mexico. it is jawbone policy rather than having to legislate it. interesting point. effectively you do it by the word, the tweet, without having to deliver on economic policy. i wonder if that plays with the electorate that voted him in and whether or not that ultimately will be somet
