good for a blast the fall and winter jeffrey tucker an editorial director of the american institute for economic research thank you for your time. and now to touch a sweet reports on california in from california on the state of the allman industry and what may be ahead for the future. roughly eighty percent of the world's aman's are produced in california however changing weather patterns in recent months have made quite an impact on estimates for the upcoming summer harvest so the weaker us production of the oval shaped treatment isn't slowing demand down in fact the u.s. department of agriculture is forecasting a nine percent rise in production in the country alone some point to almost nutritional benefits catching popularity among the health conscious consumers that's also part of the reason behind food makers creating more varieties of their products with like allman milk flour and other baked goods consumption of almonds shot up nearly fifteen percent from twenty twelve to twenty seventeen euro monitor international is also predicting a four percent annual growth of omens through twenty twenty one

well the editorial director at the american institute for economic research geoffrey tucker told us trump has been thinking about waging a trade war from the very start trade war is what he intended from the moment he put his hand on the bible interfere with the hope of office i don't think he wants to come to good resolutions of his concepts he wants to create the conflicts and then keep creating and keep creating the conflicts he's a convinced economic nationalist he really believes in this in this part that it's he can create an american national machine or production that's not the end of it on europe canada and the rest of the world that this will somehow be good for america don't trump believes in a zero sum kind of world it's like either america wins or america loses but it's very difficult to say who's got the most to lose. something to lose american producers and consumers and all of european producers and consumers i must say is an american i'm very embarrassed and this is what we've come to. a leading cancer specialist in russia is raising awareness of the cancer the dangers of

postponed for now but the question is will europe backpedal at the top director of the american institute for economic research jeff we took a thinks that term has been thinking about trade wars from the start. trade war is what he intended from the moment he put his hand on the bible and took the oath of office office i don't think he wants to come to good good resolution to this complex he wants to create the context and then keep creating and keep creating the conflicts is a convinced economic nationalist like he thinks he really believes in is in this part that if he can create an american national machine or production that's not the kind that is on europe canada and the rest of the world that this will somehow be good for america don't trump believes in a zero sum kind of world it's like either america wins or or or america loses this is not the right way to describe international trade relationships it's about cooperation among among producers there it's very difficult to say who's got the most to lose everyone has something to lose american producers and consumers and all of european producers and cons

edward strengthen joins us from the president of the american institute for economic research and professor at trinity college. let's first start exactly what the chinese response to all of this. the china daily actually made an interesting statement on behalf of the government if you will. here's what they say. china will stand up to the u.s. is that the paper is saying this morning. bullying is necessary and is a champion of globalization, free trade and multilateralism will have strong support for the international community. this does not sound like a country that is ready to cave on any of the president's demands. >> sure, yeah. the united states government is proposing all types of terrorist, which are basically taxes on american consumers, american manufacturers. that increases races. the fact that china is having some pushback on that, it totally makes sense to me why they would want to have their goods taxed more. the administration is proposing reducing it on canada, the e.u. and china once to say what about us. true to the president has been clear that he believes that china is t

the americans expect concessions saying they've been unfairly treated when it comes to trade with the e.u. the munich based institute for economic research study the tariffs on five thousand products to compare the e.u. and u.s. tax each other the results there are considerably higher barriers for u.s. products entering the e.u. than vice versa on average europeans charge a five point two percent levy as opposed to just three point five by the americans u.s. beef is especially hard hit it's taxed at sixty eight percent meanwhile the u.s. charges the forty nine percent levy on european tobacco products and twenty two percent on trucks. experts suggest lowering import duties on both sides while that would reduce european customs revenue it would certainly be cheaper than starting a trade war. in the air or to think that you can fight protectionism with protectionist policies it's like trying to tackle stupidity with

[indiscernible] [laughter] sen. grassley: could you -- ok, we ha
