this poses all sorts of questions for europe because europe as to adjust toa europe because europe asworld which began under 0bama and the pivots of the pacific but i'iow and the pivots of the pacific but now has an american president who is not interested in europe and not interested in having europe's back. and doesn't think that europe has anything worth having and therefore he can afford to do this? this is the first time in us history that the first time in us history that the united states has taken such action against its own allies and trading partners. but the united states sees itself as in a cold war. it has been noted that economic security is military security. for him it is important how europe, postures towards the major crisis, that in the us administration's perspective, is most dangerous and thatis perspective, is most dangerous and that is iran and north korea. also russia. you have all these crises going on and the united states is trying to make a point that this is important for me. europe is making a stand, it is as timbale expanse, they are saying we will go to

europe europe and its stand its ground ground. it's really it's really really quite. outrageous ages that is that the europe at the european union union should be begging begging begging the usa say that please please for that please please for god's got sick sick don't sort of penalize old sort of penalize eyes are. in any way anyway what's in what's important ported to realize is lies is that is that your europe is much closer it's much closer. geographically graphically to the middle east to the middle east and i think and i think really really we should we should be courageous be courteous enough and rages enough as european nations haitians if we claim to be if we claim to be a sovereign enter sovereign entity if we claim that. if we claim that european union has got to go its own what we need it has got to go its own way it's becoming very clear way it's becoming very clear that america does not see that america does not see its european partners its european partners friends friends has the terrorist areas. and also and also huge huge illusion leverage leverage being it being you used used to. persua

we are in a situation in europe in which everything necessary is being done to keep this europe together trump is doing everything he can to harass us we need allies in europe and that's why this is a key issue. unphased the c.s.u. keeps provoking medical it's the very end state premier sudha met with austrian chancellor is a bust and courts in the austrian city of linz both want to clamp down on the influx of refugees. it's resentment solidarity and europe will ultimately be decided by whether we succeed in bringing about a change on the migration issue i've been. chancellor merkel will meet the leaders of key e.u. countries at a crisis summit in brussels this weekend whether this will rescue her chancellorship remains uncertain. and let's go right to brussels where our correspondent barbara vessel is standing by for us hi barbara so we have this mini summit coming up on sunday who is taking part in what is planned. germany of course and then france italy spain bulgaria greece austria who is really pushing strongly this issue and what they're trying to do is prepare compromises look at the fault lines in european migration policy and prepare the summit for

largest economy and the fourth—largest economy in europe, and it's political turmoil in the southern belly of europe, and that is one of the problems that europewhich is more than 2 trillion, and with all these new promises that the new government has given, whether europe — i mean, the debt will go up at least by 7% of the gdp, so how is europe going to react and maintain this situation? and this is interesting, greg, isn't it? because although we talked about the political crisis and president mattarella saying no to this eurosceptic finance minister, this is still a government will take a pretty sceptical view on the advice it receives from brussels. and the ratings agencies were saying friday of last week we might even be looking now at reducing the standard and saying actually that it's not much above junk level in terms of the debt that you can buy off italy. i think we're running out of ways — which we've been saying for 2h months — we're running out of ways to say that the eu is in trouble. laughter. you know, europe still exists but there is no unifying concept that i can see. when i got here 20 years ago, francois mitterrand, helmut

europe. it isa fourth—largest economy. in europe. it is a political turmoil. in the southern belly of europe. em is that europe is one of the problem is that europe is an institution is facing. i mean if you look at the depth of italy, which is more than 2 trillion and with all these new promises that the new government has given, whether europe, i mean, debt will go up at least by 7% of the gdp, so how is europe going to react and maintained this situation? this is interesting because although we talked about the political crisis and then say no to the eurosceptic finance minister, this is still the government will ta ke this is still the government will take a sceptic view on the advice it receives from brussels and the ratings agencies were saying friday of last week we might even be looking now at reducing the standard and saying actually do that it isn't much above the level in terms of the debt you can find. we are running out of ways. when i got here years ago, you had these giant figures with a vision of european unity and now it is in such disarray, it almost doesn't matter where we l

well i painted a picture of europe which is under threat by populism nationalism chauvinism and a triumph particularly and his answer was europe has to act united europe united a great europe a big europe which let's not itself be tied it from the outside and from within that should be any divisions between north and south or east and west and that would be also the work of germany to overcome these divisions and then europe could act as a global player and maybe to give you one detail he is in favor of a majority vote in the u. in order to be more flexible to act on the global stage a lot of european reforms that the french president announced his proposals on a uniform nearly a year ago everyone's been waiting for some answer from german chancellor angela merkel ever since i did have foreign minister's speech contain any hints. yes. the answer from germany can only be allowed clear yes to a man who in my call but he also criticized that it's only about money and the whole discussion about the e.u. reform he said germany would be willing to give more money and he think it should be even more than what america has already suggested but then you also s

i believe in the national sovereignty i believe that europe is it makes me stronger that's why i mean europe but if europe all going to sort of a collective collapse because this is what's happening nobody is making decisions this moment we are weak on many fronts and women. by the way. also for chinese companies or russian companies together if i had this kind of behavior by china and i have or by russia we need to react the same way that my discourse is not specific to me and to us it's and t's a weakness of europe but i think it's not only the european union that is suffering from kind of treatment by the united states i think there are lots of grievances in russia there are also grievances in china and as you mentioned before europe was able to put forth a blocking law it also did that in concert with other countries for example ninety five there was also the u.k. mexico canada that passed similar legislation what are the chances of putting together such a call listen at this point of time not just the european unity but the european union joining forces with other countries who may be unhappy about t

that migration is the key issue for europe but europe has to be the solution that's what mr morrison said but that the if he wants to have different partners in europe for that issue so are you probably a bit closer to this multilateral european approach than you publicly say i think are very close to all these some countries of europe we also close and to some extent two fronts which is not accepting illegal migrants coming from italy for example so everything mrs merkel has been asking for has failed does not function no one wants to participate there is no quota or in the end that's going to be installed over all the european union this is what she was asking for the whole time this will not happen everything what european countries will do will be on a free lance basis so they can't we they stop to try to force them to take migrants in if they don't want to so that's a complete failure of the migration policy of until america mr starr thank you very much for talking to us. all right the soccer world cup continues to bring lots of thrills and today's first knockout games or certainly no exception have a fully last time to get the sports joins me

i think he believes if he puts pressure on europe that europe will then follow through on sanctions on iran but what he doesn't understand is europe has leverage, as well. he's not the only one who has leverage. i think the europeans will retaliate. the next time he needs europe, europe will be slow to cop forward. it's interesting as much as he hates multilateralism and the oecd meet wig just happened in paris, indeed the u.s. said don't want that word anywhere in the communique. he's using multilateralism in this summit in singapore. it wouldn't be happening without south korea or china. wouldn't be happening without japan. >> mickey, there's the fact there's going to be economic effects of this. cnbc did analysis of the ways in which the savings from the tax cut which pore working people is already quite quite slender will be entirely eaten up if the retaliatory tariffs go into effect. >> chris, in 1930, we imposed the smoot/haully tariffs that resulted in cutting u.s. exports to other countries by more than half. and they made the great depression even worse. you know, these other countries aren't going to just sit there and t

europe. europe would get hurt, even if you look at the analysis we did, europe doesn't get hurt as much. ey only take about 3 percentage points. it's off a muchlower number, but still europe is embroiled with the uk stepping out of trade. >> winding down their qe program. >> exactly they have a lot going on, but europe could fair better >> i think we should do "worldwide exchange" live from the beaches of spain >> i agree >> gina, thank you. >>> financials are moving slightly higher today in the premarket. this is after posting 13 straight days of declines for the xlf financial spider etf gerard cassidy joins us now. what is going on with the banks? >> brian, i think what you're seeing with the banks is a concern that the yield curve is flattening further due to not only the trade talk that you mentioned, but also due to the possibility that the u.s. economy could slow down. we're not in that camp, if that were to be the case that's one reason you're seeing the weakness in the stock. >> help me connect the dots between some of the banks and the trade war. i can understand if we're looking

can do in germany i think what the companies actually at the cape for is also that europe states united and that europe is strong and i think that's a nother task that is on the table for our government ok so more talks a dialogue is important from which i'm glad you look at it even in medicine general manager of the american chamber of commerce you gemini thank you so much thanks for having. well there's a big change within the dow after one hundred and eleven years industrial heavyweight general electric is no longer a component of the famous stock market index the company had fallen on hard times recently most lead you to losses in its insurance business its announced a major restructuring about half a year ago complete with cost cutting and a slash to dividend shares have been on a downward path for a year is weakening the company's standing as a blue chip of the new member replacing g.e. will be the retail chain walgreens the dow jones oversight committee feels that the company trading in consumer staples reflects the consumer driven u.s. economy better than the outgoing industrial giant. as a big

europe europe as well because of the sanctions are going to read are going to rebel to out as as much as they can and we're going to see that they're going to want to maintain that trade. with with with iran as well as with the other countries and that and that region of the world the whole idea because the united states insists upon having the israeli policy interfere with every foreign policy decision it makes it's actually going to it's actually beginning to shift away from that and we're seeing that already you know you know market it seems that if there's a perception i've heard this many times if the united states is treating its its friends worse than its enemies i mean it's centrally going down the track of threatening to sanction european countries and their companies and this is getting i you know i think it's the first time in the in the transatlantic alliance experience where you know sovereignty is really seems to be in and is being infringed upon i mean threatening companies that you know we there are financial transactions you know it's forcing companies to start trading in other currencies so the the the u.s. . treasury department can't go after you i mean is that what the nato allies are supposed to be worried about from the united states now i mean this is a new dilemma that this coalition this the lion says a facing go ahead mark. and i do remember when it was a snapshot of for now with all who have the u.s. attempt to prevent the export of the soviet cast western europe you have a very british companies taking part in that so there's a big precedence the point is that in those cases quite quickly the common interests of gurode the divisions into it whereas today we face the prospect of dong from could he said he wasn't in office who were going to this time he could be remembered and he continues with these policies he's really challenging the you are pretty insensitive to the one area where they feel what group yes the e.u. is a pick me is that me but to use the trading superpower of germany. plus a lot of schools so germany and china for instance. an economic common interest to the wider world which trump is trying to answer because he knows he wants to cut back dramatically the u.s. trade deficit that actually means. good partners as well as a potential. china so we really have no structural changes taking place all the corporation all the cultural contrasts between the united states and the roadworks will somehow. mitigate this but i have a feelin

russia's other basic problem which i think we just don't pay enough attention to was europe, what to do with europe. europe is so much more important than we are if you're russia, frankly. one thing we share with the russians is we really like for everything to be about geopolitics. it's about d.c. and moscow and we're the great powers. that's a weakness that we share with them and which i think leads into our dialogue or our conversation about them. but europe matters so much more. europe's so much more of a relevant example for actual russians than the united states is. and europe's a bigger economy than we are, and the example of european democracy, frankly, is more important than the example of american democracy. i don't just mean now, i mean before 2016 as well. and a lot of mr. putin's evolution has to do with europe. i try to follow this in the things he says and writes, but there's a moment in 2010 where he writes an article for the german press where he says, okay, look, we admit we can't be like you, but we want to integrate with you anyway. we want a partnership with you, but we admit we can't

bigger deal in the last twenty years of economic decisions have been dictated by europe because europe wants this and europe needs that they never asked what the italians watching the view of the father and son believe that the populist five star movement and its right wing league partner can make italy grace again. and sicily to. a tourist attraction with high unemployment. this is silly and city has been governed by the five star movement for the last five years now another election is coming up. and someone from rome is here for it. to make. their way to deny the head of the five star movement a new labor minister is campaigning for his party's candidate for the town's mayor and he's making a lot of promises. i'm going to put in with a good finance and prime minister we will sit down at the negotiating table in europe to ensure we are treated like all other european countries. and grow if europe is start up by the populists to great effect that we're not wanted if we're a single community then we all have to have the same rights and responsibilities. i think this is the impossible wall and we can't just

europe's europe's to deeply divided over the issue of the migration crisis sent any agreements between individual member states are bound to be met with contradiction take the visa grad countries for example that's hungry the czech republic slovakia and poland they have outright refused to even attend today's summit that's because they said that the whole summit was organized as a pole as a political maneuver by merkel to control domestic german politics and other countries have outright begun refusing migrants at the border in general italy actually turned away a migrant vessel last week there and it was forced to land in spain while malta just the other day did a similar thing and you know these actions actually have been noticed by european leaders like french president emanuel macron. i'm in favor of mechanisms that take this into account we're going to have gum trees that massively benefit from e.u. so the devotee and who massively claim their national selfishness when it comes to the topic of migration. and it's not just the e.u.'s cohesion that said risk here it's also germany's merkel actually just had a standoff with her interior minister horst c. hoffer and he threatened to turn away migrants at the german border even though they had already been registered in other e.u. member states now this put the decades old government coalition in germany at risk and they only agreed to cease hostilities until the end of the month hoping to see something come out of the summits like the one that was held today and something did come out of the summit today merkel said that the european union needs to look at the agreement they made with turkey as a framework for agreements with other migrant origin countries but. let's take a second and think about what happened with that the europe it cost the european union three billion euros so it's looking at the division that's already apparent without the european throughout the european union it's hard to see a more spending and deals between individual member states are going to do anything other than increase divisiveness. thanks for the update don't cotton speaking to us live from berlin. one of the united states that withdrew from the u.n. human rights council on tuesday with top officials in the trumpet ministration castigating the international body and accusing it of rank hypocrisy and political bias president wants to move the ball forward from day one he is called institutions or countries who say one thing and do another and that's precisely the problem with the human rights council as president trump said at the un general assembly there's a massive source of embarrassment to the united nations that some governments with the greatest human rights records sit on the human rights council for too long the human ri
