the us. shares of talking to reporters on the sidelines of the united nations general assembly, she is expectedith the us trade representative robert lighthizer. —— she is sort of talking to reporters. we were with that, because that is a sort of ongoing situation? there is meant to be a much bigger discussion with lots of officials and so on and obviously, this engagement will not be such an easy deal as the korean w011 be such an easy deal as the korean won because they will be many more issues and that is bigger and so on. but what we have seen suggests that there are some easy winds, trump thinks that the reason americans don't sell so many goods abroad is because of unfettered rating practices. 0n the whole, that is not the case. it is just that a lot of american products are not hugely competitive. where they are competitive, in areas like high—tech, they actually do sell quite a lot, and it is relatively easy to handle local safety rules on things like that. as i think that provided we make, they say we of course, by the time this goes on, we are going to be an exit written and we are no

one world leaders and top diplomats gathered in new york towards the end of last week the seventy third united nations general assembly and when they got to grips with global issues like nuclear disarmament there was one person who certainly stole the show. donald trump president of the united states of america. china's market distortions. and the way they deal. cannot be tolerated. opec nations are as usual ripping off the rest of the world i don't like it nobody should lie to. germany will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change course and. nations of the world should use is socialism. and the misery. that is bringing the . u.n. human rights council. has become a grave embarrassment no supported recognition to the international criminal court and the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no if our. god bless the nations of the world thank you very much. the u.s. leader gave plenty of attention to the north korea issue to take to praise washington's progress with pyongyang but in the week just gone it seemed the north korean foreign minister didn't quote much trumps enthusi

of the genoa well thank you so much for joining our special live coverage on leyla hauraki u.s. president donald trump has just finished addressing the seventy third session of the united nations general assembly in new york and president trump used the address to boast of his administration's accomplishments including his decision to pull out of the iran nuclear deal and he's looking forward to having a great relationship with tehran but quote it will not happen now he went on to appraise the year relationship that he's built with north korean leader kim jong un and tell to the progress that's being made to work resolving the korean conflict i suggest we take a listen to what he had to say on the topic of north korea for a brighter future. the missiles and rockets are no longer flying in every direction . nuclear testing has stopped some military facilities are already being dismantled our hostages have been released and as promised the remains of our fallen heroes are being returned home. to lay at rest in american soil i would like to thank your arm and kim for his courage and for the steps he has taken. so much work remains to be done. sanctions will stay in place until the nuclearization

the u.n. and there he is arriving right now as you look at a live shot president trump arriving, of course he will be speaking to the general assembly of the united nationsomes at a time where we've had confrontation with china, we're in the middle of the trade fight, in a fight with some of our ale lies like canada and germany. we've had this confrontation with turkey. but improved relations with south korea coming off the signed trade pact and north korea as well. a little different tone than when he threatened to totally destroy north korea in the speech at this time last year. >> the theme we expect to hear today is about the word sovereignty. i counted the number of times he said is sovereignty last year in his address, 20 times. and of course he pulled out of the council on human rights. he has talked about exiting the wto. so multilateral institutions have had quite a year under this administration obviously sarah talks about the tensions with china over trade but it will be interesting to see how he varies in tone from last year. by the way, the north korean tensions -- let's take a listen. >> iran has to change its tune before i meet with them.
