fiat has a very small market share in china.lem will maybe not be solved if they are able to pull off this merger. analysts are confused about what to make of this. >> the obvious first focus on china is obvious given that we have talked about tesla success in the market there in china. i wonder if it is soon enough to catch up to tesla. i would if they think they will be successful there. >> that's a great question. this is essentially two companies that are inexperienced in bringing electric vehicles to market. it raises questions about whether it's too little too late. worth pointing out that there are a lot of electric vehicle ventures and china that we don't hear a lot about because they don't do a lot of volume. they are essentially pumping out compliance cars to allow for --se companies to be able to to hit the tougher emission standards the car companies are being held to in that market. think about electric vehicles in china, one of the first comes to mind is china and the shanghai factory. this venture pose a significa

it is joining with fiat chrysler. be responsible for the design components and supply chain management. fiat will handle the actual assembly of the cars. joining us now in new york is our bloomberg auto reporter. tell us about their experience both in the ev industry and fiat in the chinese market. >> that question gets to the bottom of the idea that this is a puzzling joint venture as our reporter in detroit has on the story pointed out. they have a lot of supply chain expertise in china. a lot of that with lithium-ion batteries that go into iphones and also go into electric cars. those are two very different products. don't just ask me, ask apple. everyone is familiar with the idea that they flirted in going into this industry and decided against it. fiat chrysler has struggled in the u.s. market -- excuse me, in the china market. they have really struggled. it is a problem that will not be solved if they are able to pull psa, themerger with french carmaker that is struggling in china. analysts are confused about wh

he also talked about the fiat chrysler possibility for the , renault, nissan, and mitsubishi, that was in the process of being looked at, and then he landed in jail, and as we know, the history books will show that psa then swooped in and took fiat chrysler out. he seems to be lamenting that as well. i want to point out that he is very charismatic, clearly, and he also mentioned that he would be open to the idea of giving the lebanese government help on its economy should it be so desired. clearly he has ambitions. get back to carlos ghosn now. >> ended which i wasn't interrogated. or else you will say i don't believe the perception of innocence. i don't receive -- i don't believe he is presumed innocent. he isn't with a wink say culpable and we are going to charge him when there is nothing, and there will possibly be an inquiry, but i am not excepting anything from them. where would it come from? it would come from inside renault. i know what is in those reports. i'm not worried, as far as that is concerned. i would like to ask you two questions. unfairnessabout the of the japanese ju

on a nonfunctioning global economy about to get wiped out by ecological holocaust when we have a fiat's economy in the united states the financial eyes the conwy driven by the stock market like what mark east coast says about that in terms of the market driving the economy the market is the economy and we have as we said in the last episode we have general electric we have boeing this is the b 2 giant manufacturer and excellence in manufacturing you know with who employ thousands of people now they fired thousands of people over the years and turned it into a financial instrument to the benefit of one guy or you know a few executives what you could say silicon valley used to create great things but now you have just like mark zuckerberg jack dorsey you don't have huge bases of employees creating like adding wealth to the economy turning raw goods into like amazing devices and manufacturing technology but on top of that you also have you know in terms of the economists saying the demise of the dollar that the dollar will be dead soon is you can see what we're doing to our own future not

fiat chrysler's already investing $4.5 billion and creating 6,500 new jobs in michigan and opening up plant in more than 30 years. and we have a lot of them happening. ford is putting in $1.5 billion and creating jobs and gm investing and creating 2,200 jobs in michigan to build vehicles of the future and i believe we have the chairman and president of the bosses of those two companies. please, where's mary mary barra, thank you very much. and ford, thank you very much. we appreciate it what a great job please stand for that kind of money anything over $2 billion, you're allowed to stand anything over $2 billion, otherwise we don't have you stand. thank you very much. steel dynamics is building a $1.9 billion flat roll over near corpus christi international automakers are pouring $125 billion into the united states, creating 50,000 new american jobs, minimum they are all investing in a future where we buy, hire, and drive american cars again. i like that. it's a very important part of the deal mexico and canada have agreed to new labor protections that my administration negotiated, th

the rest of the world combined you know that that's the result of fiat's currency was the failure of statistics so trump will look at data in aggregate and he'll make conclusions without looking at how the data was put together and some of other data points that might contradict what he conclusions are based on the data that he's looking at his thought that you know the walls concentration is diminishing at this point is of course contra factual it's incomplete discord with facts the walls confident concentration makes the robber baron era in america look tame by comparison it makes the concentration of wealth in ancient empires and look tame by comparison in victorian england we did not see this type of wealth concentration this is the most concentrated wealth ever in history ever even contemplated and so his cognitive dissonance in this regard is necessary for him to keep going on the path is because if he sat down and thought about what he was actually saying he would still would have a nervous breakdown you know because he has to be he's a fueled by his delusions as most people i

get the fiat. it's the fiat that makes it. we will be with you tomorrow night for the count down.ex coast earlier today. we've brought up certainly some much milder airfrom a long ways south of the uk, and that stays with us for the next couple of days. so, the much warmer colours coming in across the uk. this represents a feel of the weather. it doesn't indicate there will be a huge amount of sunshine. that is certianly not the case now or through the weekend. but there will be some sunnier moments. and it is a very windy evening out there, still a chance of seeing some gusts in excess of 60 mph for some spots in scotland and northern england, but the strongest winds ease a little overnight. northern ireland with a spell of rain moving in and for the north and west of scotland and northwest england, especially cumbria. mild to the south, maybe a touch of frost in northeast scotland as friday begins. and then during friday, we take this rain and push it south and east across england and wales. behind it, it will be brightening up a bit and quite a bit of dry weather into northern

the american people do not want and our constitution will not abide a president who rules by fiat and demands obedience. i served in the executive branch for eight years. eight years. and you know, what i find is i served in that branch, also, the other one, the senate, the congress, for 36. and i understand better than anyone that the system will not hold unless we find a way to work together to advance our national interests. to work together. not in a political interest of any one party or any one person. we need to restore the balance of powers between the branches of government. we need checks and balances that serve to check and balance the worst instincts of our leaders in either of the branches. we need to use our system to bring us together as a nation, not abuse it and rip us apart. this is not a naive, outdated way of thinking. this is the genius and timelessness of our democratic system which has for more than 240 years allowed us to remake ourselves, reckon with our shortcomings and move our nation ever forward. that's what we owe these brave women and men who stepped for

there were some specific -- some stock-specific headlines hitting fiat and puget as we were mentioningssan and renault in focus as we look to hear comments fresh from carlos ghosn and how that might affect those two companies and that alliance. >> certainly very heavy day for auto stocks. >>> france says the u.s. will face the might of the eu if it imposes, quote, highly disproportionate trade tariffs for digital tax on companies such as google and amazon. the french finance minister has written a letter to robert lighthizer warning against the move assist the u.s. government considers its response as what it calls growing european protectionism. he says it will deeply affect the transatlantic relationship he's due to meet the eu trade commissioner phil hogan tomorrow another front to potentially watch on the trade war. >>> coming up, british stars dominate the golden globes showing hollywood how it's done. we break down the biggest winners of the night later on in just a few moments stay with us i remember thinking about things i did and wondering if that was the last time i was going

negotiating for fiat chrysler.now where we were going. this was 2017. we look today. togethere set wire you , because it looks like all of the decisions made are consensual. i have been managing this entity for 17 years. i can tell you you have to make sure you force people to offer synergies. these blend -- you spend time to explain why the synergies work. if you say it is consensual, nothing happens. the three companies alliance no longer works. , the growthmpany has disappeared, profits are down. i am finding a hard time to see any strategic direction. no more technology innovation coming. , the line missed the unmissable, which is fiat chrysler did not go with the alliance.

no more technology innovation coming and on top of this, the line missed the unmissable, which is fiat chrysler that didn't go with allianz. they go with psa but it's unbelievable, how can you lose that? how can you lose this huge opportunity to become the dominant player in this industry by developing ties with people who were eager to join you, who were totally complimentary to the lines? obviously you'll have 15 explanations, it's because of ghosn, because this and that and that everything is on me, now, okay, but it is unbelievable that this happened, it's unbelievable. so what i would like to say is, this is not a common case where you say mr. ghosn, he didn't, and the media sometimes they say he didn't pay taxes. no taxes involved. he didn't compensation when i tell people i didn't receive any compensation, they are surprised b you the whole story has been put in a way to lead people to think something which is different from the reality. okay, and i must admit, they're very good at it. that's probably the only way, the only thing because on everything else, which as a carmaker t
