from the international trade center in geneva and have a listen to what she had to say all right there on chickens on us looks like we're having some trouble getting that. through now we've got half of it . ok we'll probably just have to let it go at this point it's a freaky friday these things happened on live t.v. we do apologize to our viewers and of course what she was saying is that consumers are going to be the ones who suffer in a trade or you know definitely no winners in a trade war that's what everyone agrees on as i mentioned the u.s. has the upper hand but what will the long term look like when will the chinese economy overtake the u.s. economy some analysts are saying that could happen in the next decade others are saying this very scenario could speed that up so a lot of talk about we're going to have to leave it there ben fizzling from our business us thanks for walking us through this issue of turning out to some other global news from around the world pakistan's anti corruption court has sentenced former prime minister not wash to ten years in prison on corruption char

largest trade conflict in history and so on a i spoke see with the executive director of the international trade center iran chickens out and i put it to her is that really the case or is that rhetoric and if this trade dispute has taken listen to what she told me that is sarah. well i think we are facing the largest trade conflict since the second world war but more importantly is that this conflict is already having an impact on the ground it's already affecting workers that are being laid off as a result of this issue and especially in america to move out of the country and produce elsewhere given that it's having an impact on businesses that are not making capital investment decisions because of the uncertainty of the situation but let's not forget our taxes taxes that the consumer will have to pay it will make it is making already american consumers. pay more for the goods they buy and it's making american companies less competitive because the inputs the import in their manufacturing chains will be more expensive so frankly who wins from this conflict is a big question mark today. so businesses c

2014, gas trades, fake news, creating dissonance between different portions of society, ukraine continue to embrace international liberal order and when this happened in 2014, ukraine centering into a indication agreement with the european union and the trade agreement, to stop ukraine for moving forward and they still failed with the revolution of dignity. when they insisted on maintaining that, the $16 billion offers revised. it wasn't enough to stop ukraine from going forward with the association agreement and trade agreement. so unless we move other tools and things, a legal annexation and obligation of crimea, the war in the east, it led to tens of thousands of lives being lost, 2 million people displaced on the territory in europe. loss of an indigenous homeland. in four years tomorrow, the lost of 300 civilians. the anniversary is tomorrow. absolutely innocent civilians. every single tool. we had a cyber attack. a massive use of disinformation. the international community is looking at this as being a unique situation based on ukrainian-russian historic approaches. my point is, it has nothing to do with that, that might be an element of why it's so strong but this is

trade war actually started we're going to go through this with sara fowler who's an international economist with the u.k. global analysis an advisory firm oxford analytical she writes on a global market center specialized in evaluating economic and political risk a welcome. sarah fowler so are we now in a trade war or are we still on the brink of war. i would say we're still on the brink i think the key will be so far we've seen u.s. actions and we've seen countries retaliate against the u.s. we haven't seen the rest of the world turn on each other and impose tariffs on each other i think that would be a big escalation in the dispy imus mogas we don't see that the damage to the economy will be more limited. so why would other countries trade to each other when the beef seems to be between the united states pretty much the rest of the world but we'll start with china fanaa why why would you think that the rest of the world might turn on each other well. so code of the u.s. beef is that they do run though a tariff than a lot of other particularly american market in many industries electronics farming. and the trumpet ministration if thinking the way to play this game is to hike terrace closer
