trade war has and hasn't begun at the same time as we found out after the meeting of president trump. and mr xi jinping in buenos audits so how likely is it that at some point we'll realize that the drums of the trade war were fake possibly or the current leaders of these two countries are just good negotiators well they're not fake because if you look at the deal figures you will see a substantial lead sheets year in the void ims of exports from the united states to train or from the united states if you look at the then the mix of the chinese economy you will see that there is and the impact of that story on the chain and that means that there is a big impact on the global economy which is doing much worse the computing is what it was performing in doing just seventeen or even the beginning of this year so we definitely see. results real negative results for what was usually just dogs but as leaders into its collated tariffs trade barriers and that we can foresee the visible negative impact on good also in the trade but these ninety days is this just a delay or it's an actual achievement well as of n

after a long phone conversation with chinese president xi jinping, mr. big progress is being made. is that just more rhetoric? we go live to bring in matt rivers in beijing. matt, there are signs of progress? >> reporter: we know both sides continue to talk, alex. the chinese side confirmed there will be talks with the u.s. and chinese delegation during the month in january. what we don't know is how close these two sides are to agreement. "the wall street journal" says the president's tweet says it is overstating over the agreement with the chinese. alex, we have been here back and forth for the better part of the year in terms of how this will play out. when you look into the new year, we know both sides are trying to reach agreement by the end of february to avoid more tariffs going into effect and escalating the trade war further. whether agreement can be reached is anyone's guess at this point. no way to know. if you told me there would be agreement at the end of february or wouldn't be? either is plausible at this point. despite the president's twe

argentina with president vladimir putin i look forward to a meaningful summit again this soon as this situation is resolved one meeting mr trump has been eager to take chinese president xi jinping as tough tariff talk escalates steve who thinks a trade war is a good idea. well a trade war is not a good idea if it's going to last for a long long time i think what donald trump thinks is that you put tariffs on you make threats you increase in height in the rhetoric and you'll get what you got with the new nafta deal that was signed at the g. twenty to kick off the this summit with canada and mexico again tough talk with good results so i hope that that's what happens i know everybody that has any stake in this economy or the world economy hopes the same thing and if china stop stealing our intellectual property then i think we have a chance of that happening but it's up to i think the ball is really in china's court well china's president is president for life our president merely wishes he was so they're going to play the long game and the timing is painfully coincidental as another trump on the stump promise comes back to haunt him member this. you people know something about t

president xi jinping. they will meet for the first time since the us president launched a trade war on china, with both sides now imposing tariffs on billions of goods passing between their countries. mr was hoping progress could be made. we're working very hard. if we could make a deal, that'd be good. i think we want to, and i think they would like to, but we'll see. we're meeting with president xi in a little while, but there are some good signs. we'll see what happens. the us began the trade war after accusing china of engaging in unfair trade practices. china retaliated, accusing the us of trying to resist its legitimate economic growth. and the reason this matters is because a us—china trade war affects all these leaders' economies, notjust by damaging growth, but also by encouraging others to impose their own restrictions on trade. the protesters here in buenos aires show what can happen when trade falters. economies struggle, people suffer, and governments can become very unpopular. so the stakes are high at today's meeting, but few here are expecting a breakthrough, and that could mean the trade war between the us and china gets worse before it gets better. a series of afters
