me ask you this coming back to the european move you said you want to see bolder action from the e.u. are you satisfied with this new call for this blocking resolution that would tell european companies hey don't go along with the u.s. sanctions and if so who's going to indemnify them for their losses well it's a great question i think i mean i think this resolution it just shows the helplessness of europe you know they're being desperate they're grasping at straws and this is what they could come up with but as you're saying itself the way to implement it the way to enforce that very limited and i'm not sure europeans have the guts to go into this trade war with america i'm not sure they can unless there i was watching the show to end on this note i think. that it is just one part of a wider package that europeans are trying to put together to salvage the gave me away so i think that's important to stress your own cause no one sentence are we seeing irreparable divisions between the u.s. and europe if you're just going to stick together only europe yes definitely europe we need to delive

trade truce relations with the e.u. are not as core deal german cars popularity in the u.s. is a thorn in trump side he maintains it erodes america's car industry so he's asked the commerce department to consider whether auto and auto part imports threaten u.s. national security and should face import duties of twenty five percent right now the rate is two point five percent. carmakers like mercedes b.m.w. and fox are going which manufacturer in the u.s. would be less badly hit than companies like our d. in porsche. last year almost half a million german cars were exported to the u.s. the e.u. says punishment tariffs would be illegal. if no. u.s. food unilaterally raised caught eric strange that it obviously would be against the deputy. china is moving in the opposite direction on tuesday beijing said it will be reducing import tariffs on cars and car parts in july from a current twenty five percent to fifteen percent that's good news for german car makers the chinese car market is more important to them now than the u.s. market. china is already the world's largest car mark

year but risks remain primarily where trade is concerned delegates from the united states and the e.u. are using the meeting in paris to agree a reversal of the steel and tariffs but there's not much time left. the clock is ticking it's just a matter of days now before the u.s. start slapping tariffs on european steel and aluminum imports. that's unless an agreement can be found before friday. with pressure mounting e.u. and u.s. delegates met for talks on the sidelines of the o.e.c.d. summit in paris. e.u. trade commissioner o.c.d. amount stroom said retaliatory measures including a trade war would be on the cards if negotiations fail. our future course of action will depend on the nature and the severity of measures imposed on our exports by the united states and the injury it does to our industry. and that could mean tariffs on many u.s. products including cranberries peanut butter orange juice motorcycles and whiskey. all right for the latest from that summit in paris let's cross over to our correspondent there lisa louise good to have you with us lisa so high level talks are going on

they are part of the e.u. will they support everything may or juncker are bringing? you see macron from france and angela merkel -- macron is young, energetic, once to bring france into as much as -- we have seen a big -- great deal he is done. about foreign policy is the marathon. they are not even putting their shoes on. there is no clear policy for the e.u. let me -- nora: let me just come in. melinda: quickly, because i want to get to iran. nora: when you look at european efforts to keep up the jcpoa -- melinda: the nuclear agreement. nora: exactly, it is more than just a show. to europeans try to stand up the americans, to some extent, although it is not a position we want to bn. we want to be in a working partnership. we see the german, french and british foreign minister stand up together, trying to work out how we can salvage. it is in our own security interest, by the way. melinda: we have a short report on where things stand with iran. let's take a look at that. and france britain are still committed to the iran nuclear deal. their foreign ministers will wo

e.u. . and they are telling italians who not to vote for.strong words there you know it's not just italy's populist parties with criticism this really goes across the political spectrum in italy we can actually show you here carlo callender he's an italian democratic party member and he's the outgoing economic development minister he says the should either apologize or resign it's hard enough to protect europe from anarchist sovereign is to defending it against inadequate e.u. commissioners is too much all right that interview hit a nerve haven't heard about from european lawmakers yeah absolutely and this is really sparking discussion in brussels as well and this goes all the way to the top to donald tusk and he's of course the president of the european council perhaps maybe trying to extinguish the fire here a bit he says my appeal to all the e.u. institutions please respect the voters were there to serve them not to lecture them meanwhile outside of brussels a prominent british euro skeptic this is nigel farage he's kind of piling on here

e.u. who are involved in the agreement? this shadow diplomacy undermines the world and it undermines the commander-in-chief and it needs to stop. the president tweeted this -- >> sean: kerry spokesman responded in part -- >> sean: of course, but this reveal yet, what? another standard in the two-tier justice system. let me remind you. remember the former acting attorney general sally yates told congress general michaelflip was being investigated -- michael flynn was being investigated in part over logan act violations after he spoke to the soon to be counterpart russian investigator during the trump transition. i repeat, the trump

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 stupidity. and if the conflict intensifies people could end up losing their jobs as a result of big development in the us mobile telephone sector t. mobile us which is owned by germany's deutsche telekom agreed to acquire rivals that will combine the fourth largest wireless carriers in the united states and if the deal is approved it will mean the creation of a carrier with

e.u. leaders are scrambling to stop european firms from doing the same. the blocking statute is aimed at protecting the small and medium sized companies operating in the country it would also provide compensation for sanctions related losses although german politicians have said that can't be applied across the board the picture is much more complex for a bigger european corporations with close financial and corporate ties to the u.s. the prospect of severe penalties over sanctions violations as well as the loss of financing from u.s. banks and other potential consequences already has some european businesses looking to exit iran the world's biggest container ship or a mall or maersk has said it will wind down its iran operations germany's biggest insurer said its preparing to wrap up their two siemens has said there will be no new deals with iran and french oil and gas company to it will pull out of a multi-billion gas project if it can't get an extension to tells departure would be especially painful for iran the iranian government had hoped the scale o

e.u. how are they going to bridge that. the year leaders with basically really new promises given fifteen years ago already in the summit intent on eking greece all balkan countries to join the european union some day if they are fit and if the e.u. is willing to take them in but today in sofia the only decoration that has these european countries these balkan countries have an european perspective the vote membership is not mentioned in that declaration so it's pushed a little bit further into the future because many e.u. countries feel that the balkan countries montenegro kosovo must atone doesn't have to go. not fit to get full membership the close is a serbia and montenegro and the next in line. and must but there's no that they've given yet the talks this must donya and albania over the comments about i'd like to pick up on that how much appetite is there right now in the e.u. for enlarging the bloc into the balkans. well there is no unified approach actually spain for example is blocking is trying to block any accessi

and the e.u. are using the meeting in paris to agree a reversal of the steel and the minium terrorists but there's not much time left. the clock is ticking it's just a matter of days now before the u.s. start slapping tariffs on european steel and aluminum imports. that's unless an agreement can be found before friday. with pressure mounting e.u. and u.s. delegates met for talks on the sidelines of the o.e.c.d. summit in paris. e.u. trade commissioner celia amounts stroom said retaliatory measures including a trade war would be on the cards if negotiations fail. our future course of action will depend on the nature and the severity of measures imposed on our exports by the united states and the injury it does to our industry. and that could mean tariffs on many u.s. products including cranberries peanut butter orange juice motorcycles and whiskey. all right a lot to talk about there in paris and what are the markets making of it cannot business our man of the front with stock exchange to do investors

economic shape very bad you have a trade agreement with russia and now you are seeking to make a better agreement with the e.u. with the european union and you are negotiating can you bring me to that moment and what you're thinking just sitting at the bill which institutionally peter with what i mean the. probably i'm would be pleased to to put in nots them but them will not. drop out of the euro. numbers not on the one who we fund. not but it is written you would got them we really put a hoarder. numb but it lol knew pretty your dentist when he entered his training this is not shit in there but. very full blown the silliness clears you see we're now in that on the sea chilly in the house two is or was the treat in your last quote of mr lynn but it also the whole bit but he isn't here when they are the only partially blues really drew here very on here. but also surely i think the customer is not old nor well you know for the one they are but here deities to cheer to not some of us the world us at this year. but i see it. always what i mean about it but if you want to use it which national interests it then

e.u. right what are you expecting in that regard. well you know it's going to be promises in the first place implementation especially in the child in the bureaucracy it's a much as well or process so in the beginning this is going to receive and pull electoral support and this is important because we do not know how long this government is going to last and so this is a good way to good i mean you know to make promises on a wider spectrum meanwhile i don't expect any kind old tough confrontation with the europe it's going to be like ok we'll see we can find the money let's wait and meanwhile we'll see whether the government last and the real question is who's going to be the prime minister. that is a big question indeed. for joining us with the very latest from naples thank you. well now daniel wynter will be taking a closer look at the new italian government's financial plans in business news a little bit later after the break so do stick around for that but in the meantime we want to head to london because tomorrow britain's princ

e.u. and in iran. what are you going to be able to propose while it's the agreement that we signed balls. is everything over no because one of the signatories draws out but the others are reaffirming that they are committed but i think in any event. it is a pity because we had anticipated and now we can regret his decision but it's important that we all remain obsessed by stability and peace. in the region. but the situation is very difficult very dangerous and our transatlantic relations damaged well there are some elements of tension back there are also elements of very strong anchor anchoring between us and iran and i think we can go beyond this through a larger negotiation that i proposed already in last september during the u.n. assembly with and get america and to resent maybe want to work in this direction and we have also plans on the commercial level and i think this has to be respected we are very strong trade power are the united states are an ally partner but do we have rules to abide with the w t o

estimated last november germany's bulging coffers are impressive but they could also fuel further debate on the distribution of government funding germany's e.u. partners are likely to criticize german frugality once more and the international monetary fund has made it clear on many occasions that it wants germany to spend more on infrastructure child care refugee integration as well as introducing income tax cuts now earlier i spoke to fabio lindner an economist working at the macro economic policy institute of the huns a burglar foundation which is close to the german federation of trade unions and i asked him why germany's european neighbors as well as the i.m.f. are so keen on berlin increasing public spending. it's because we have those huge exports of places that means we export so much more than being paul and we need government to spend more money to create more domestic income and then part of that income will flow into imports and increase. crees income abroad and this is something that really europe needs badly because a lot of countries are student crisis mode so this is one of the reasons of course in recent years we've heard tha
