secretary of state mike pompei o said he thinks a trade war could end by 2020 but china's possible involvement in the hong kong protests could make this more difficult and with possible trade talks in the coming weeks the 2 world's largest economies are showing very little finds of thawing down reporting in hong kong fairmont i failed our team. and joining us now to respond to recent events in the u.s. china trade war and the larger global economy we are fortunate to have richard waltz with us from merit of economics at the university of massachusetts amhurst and the author of democracy at work a cure for capitalism professor wolff welcome back 1st let's recap you 1st on 3 credit the week's events so far on the u.s. china trade war as we saw it china say the u.s. must not raise the issue of their response to protests in hong kong and in trade talks and president trump seeming to take a dare and then suggesting the u.s. may do exactly that now we see a comic sanctions invoked over security issues from china and this conflict over time one is jet purchases are we stumbling into a scenario where

think if anything the the visceral dislike that most overseas have for trump and bolton and even mike pompei o smears what is actually a pretty clear cut issue that the administration was raising in the united states was raisins even under barack obama it's just that they're at a point now where they've said this is just unsustainable because of the fielding of the 9 m. 7 tonight so glenn in moscow you know david's rights and some good points there not least of all the fact that and as i said it did happen overnight in the fact that the trade he was gone but this has been flagged up for a while they were i would presume opportunities to try to salvage it and it didn't happen why couldn't it be salvaged well i i think that the whole idea of blaming russia for it it's a bit dishonest costs even the american side has to a certain extent been very specific us wall that they're worried about china. that there is you know a i mean client to be a bit empathetic towards the american position because this is arms trade belonging to a different time again from 1907 it's a treaty between the united sta

secretary of state mike pompei oh yes the white house special representative for iran has apparently tried to downplay the sanctions impact suggesting that most of the economic woes of the islamic republic are bits of making. iran is in a recession. inflation is creeping up near 50 percent. this is largely caused by iran's corruption. iran's marxist economy the traps people in poverty and the government the prioritizes ideology over the welfare of its own people but it is also the case that our sanctions have driven up the cost on the regime. in theory these sanctions don't target medicine and practice though due to a sweeping ban on financial transactions with iranians they can't buy medical supplies from abroad at a dramatic fall in imports they increasingly face keen shortages last year the international court of justice ordered the u.s. to remove any impediments to the export of humanitarian goods including medicine to iran trump administration though insists medicine is not being targeted. myth number one the united states sanctions medical supplies going to the iranian people t
