chinese president do we know exactly what the chinese president told mr trump about those talks hi brant well trump says she told him that the meeting went well with kim and the official reports we've seen coming out of both north korea and china seem to bear that out they downplayed any tensions to emphasize a good working relationship between the two countries now remember china has traditionally been a major ally for north korea but it's more recent support for u.n. sanctions on pyongyang has really put a strain on their ties so the points of this meeting for china at least seems to be largely an effort to save face to try and present itself as a relevant player in any north korean talks after south korea and the u.s. have been the ones making headlines but this meeting with china also is likely to boost north korea as a leverage in any possible to meeting with the trump having beijing on their side will buy them some wiggle room in terms of having a partner and that could for example help soften trade restrictions yeah that's a very good point the inspection that you make about the c

well brant it's a fairly wide held view among business leaders here in the u.s. that something needs to be done about unfair trading practices by china and how it's flooding the market with steel and aluminum but the reason we're seeing these tariffs come into place now is because the u.s. just wrapped up an investigation that says that it says shows the chinese state used hackers to steal business secrets and gave american companies unfair positions in the chinese market so what's so hard of our show about these tariffs is that they're sweeping that they could provoke retaliatory measures from china and ultimately result in a trade war between the world's two largest economies i mean that is the big words you know i saw a release maybe for the european union we found out today that the u.s. plans to exit the e.u. and other allies from steel tariffs what more do we know about that right will the u.s. trade representative said today that the e.u. is going to be initially exempt from the tariffs that are set to take effect tomorrow that's going to be a big relief f

well that's right brant this expulsion of sixty diplomats is the toughest action the trump administration has taken against russia and it's a major turn from what we've seen and told this point trump of course has long faced criticism from both sides of the aisle that he hasn't been tough enough on russia for its alleged meddling in us in the u.s. elections and in fact just last week trump called vladimir putin to congratulate him on his election victory despite widespread claims of fraud so not only that but there was also no mention of this poisoning on that call to putin now the u.s. though is trying to send a strong message to say that this poisoning was not acceptable and that it standing together with its nato allies on punishing russia. so i mean germany started to do things like that. but it is only expelling four russian diplomats that will certainly not do damage to russia and the level would certainly not fully it's weird if you will is the expulsion here is it just symbolic solidarity. well but i think a lot of people would say that sola darity is an end in itself it sends tha
