rather than the full trilateral nafta that everybody wants7m boeing to our view is why they might notricans want canada in on the deal, because the trade with canada, especially in the northern ‘s rates, is massive. —— northern states. faces like michigan and wisconsin, they trade with mexico is inconsequential. the trade with canada is what they want. everybody wa nts a canada is what they want. everybody wants a rebirth of nafta, a better nafta. everybody wants that. a lot of what you are getting from president trump is a little bit disingenuous. i have begun to maybe not pay so much attention to that bellicose language about "i'm not prepared to deal", because i think a lot of work is going on in the background, and i am hopeful that they will in fact bea nafta. you are hopeful a deal will be done?|j they will in fact bea nafta. you are hopeful a dealwill be done? i think so, yes. what kind of deal will that look like? how far removed as it from the original nafta deal? president trump is absolutely right that dairy is the problem, and canada has to let go of the dairy supply manag

trade pacts —— that the trilateral trade pacts —— that the two nations will press ahead.k they will reach an agreement over the main sticking points by the deadline. the main points by the deadline. the main points are access to the canadian dairy market, which likely would be the compromise point i think a lot of people in canada, who generally support opening up the dairy market, lower prices for consumers in canada as well, and the other point is very much a real sticking point, which is removing the arbitration centre and putting any arbitration issues in the hands of national courts. and that doesn't seem to be an issue that doesn't seem to be an issue that canada has any interest in compromising on. so no compromise at this point. so who would be the big loser if a deal is not done? would it be canada or the united states? long—term canada, nafta is more important to canada but because of the us political system and the fact that congressmen and senators are much more powerful parts of the process , much more powerful parts of the process, it might really affect the

sara: the mexicans have said all along that they want to keep a trilateral deal. slight shift from mexico. we will see what shakes out of that. this is the big question right now. donald trump said the notification for congress for the deal is for the u.s. and mexico along, and canada if it is -- the u.s. and mexico alone, and canada if it chooses. the way they pointed it was that canada declined. so congress pushed through what they were able to salvage from nafta. a lot of people encounter rested not like that idea. trilateral.remain too much at stake if canada is not a part of it. shery: what is the timeline at this point? deadline we are eyeing is the end of september, when the u.s. needs to hand over a text of the agreement to congress. the more we talked to tread thatts, the less clear text needs to be. does it need to have every clause written out or can it be brother can include canada perhaps and leave some wiggle room open to negotiate further on some of the finer points of it? the jury is still out on how details that needs to be -- detailed that needs

doesn't mean that an important deadline was missed and it won't be possible illegally to have a trilateral deal before the new mexican president takes office december first and the big question is if congress will actually go with a bilateral deal with mexico and the united states without canada that could be tricky to achieve but overall at least the wall street reacted in a very moderate way and we ended the month of august and it was the best august for the nasdaq composite in eighteen years and the best august for the rest of the market in the past four years all right so the new mexican administration not into the first of december we've got quite a few months to chew over this topic taking a look at trade tensions between the u.s. and china now of course this week saying further tariffs on china are set to come in now the u.s. president saying that the e.u. is just as bad as china but on a smaller scale should russel's be bracing itself. well if you look at the the european union it's the biggest traders the trading partner to the u.s. but the u.s. also runs the second highest trade

russia trying to say that this is going to be a phased offensive blogger and putin yesterday in the trilateral summit at that and said it's going to be feast stuff so they're trying to give a message that the casualties will not be as high and they're going to be targeting just the members of the sixteen this charter school what happens of course remains to be see because that of three million people in it live in whatever strikes you have there are bound to be civilian casualties. well until you mentioned the talks on friday and at those tough talks russia rejected a cease fire which was proposed by turkey just what is moscow trying to achieve with this offensive where the long and short of it really is that it's been supporting the rebels and even though duckie has now called this job is. davis now this continued to have a presence there russia says look you had enough time to look you by that i mean don't get enough time you should have reined in the jihad is cool by now you haven't done it so we're going to be eliminating the terrorists of integrity especially since this group has also bee

canada's experience tremendous economic growth benefits because of nafta all parties have benefited trilateral trade has nearly quadrupled from just under three hundred billion u.s. dollars per year to just under one point two trillion billion u.s. dollars per year but certainly has experienced a lot of economic growth because of it roughly two point five percent. more economic growth per year than they would see otherwise that is to say that economic growth tends to be g.d.p. growth to be clear tends to be two point five percent higher because of nafta than it would be otherwise and you know we've reported on the program before that i think it's about a half a percentage point of g.d.p. for the u.s. increase as a result of nafta so overall it seems like a good thing although i guess there are specific deals when you look at the u.s. and canada what are the major things that are going back and forth and what's the key thing for canada now why do they really want to specifically sector specific want to be in this deal. with the biggest thing to think of from the canadian perspective is the impa

because he's notified congress since it will be a trilateral deal with canada and mexico.erms of whether canada is ready to hop on board is really remains to be seen. last week they were pretty mom on the issue repeating claims that they want the deal to be what's best for canadians and their values. we really have to watch that. arthel: i saw that. but of course congress essay mr. president, you have to come to us to get this sorted out. meanwhile, how goes trade talks with canada how goes trade talks with china or is beijing playing the better hand than ottawa? reporter: specifically when it comes to china we have to rope in the fact that there are also some transatlantic trade tensions with the eu at this point. we are saying that president trump kind of backtrack on what he sees the wto playing a role in this entire scheme here. we know that there were eu officials in the u.s. in the last week or so trying to discuss whether there could be a joint complaint fired with wto over china and we also see the president coming out and saying he is not totally approving of wto

if we get a renegotiated trilateral naphtha, how important for businesses to adjust to the new rules of the game? >> right now, everybody's tied chains are on burning platforms. even if an agreement is agreed to coming out of washington this week or next, the rules of the game are going to be different than they were when we set down at the table to start. almost everybody who relies upon that that to any extent to strategize within their supply chains, they will need to do a complete refresh of the supply chain. it will likely mean that they will be breaking contracts with existing suppliers, looking at ways to minimize their research axis put in place. there are a lot of factors on the table today that were not on the table a year ago. to see it's interesting things like investment in cultural industries suddenly surfacing. we understand for the canadian deal team there are some sticking points, chapter 19 being one. are we seeing these things surface as a red herring? there are many countries in the world of protect their cultural industries. it would be surprising if canada was o

so not having a trilateral agreement as we were saying earlier would affect that. that in addition is raising concerns in the states that are particularly affected by those agreements and by that interconnection. >> i want to call for some sound that we have from canada's foreign minister where she makes a distinction between nafta and tariffs. >> on the aluminum tariffs, canada has said from the very outset of the consideration that this was an issue entirely separate from nafta, and that is not an opinion. that is a matter of fact. >> can you respond to her statement? >> well, i can guess how the president would respond. the white house has put those steel and aluminum tariffs on many countries who are traditional u.s. allies and said it is for national security reasons. but many u.s. allies, not just canada, have said that it's absurd to say that that is a national security issue. so that's what she's referring to there. she is saying that it's a separate issue from the nafta talks. >> much more to unpack as the talks resume on wednesday. >> lot going on in the

>> it needs to be a trilateral agreement.ed congress not to interfere, but they will interfere if this looks like a bilateral canadian-excluding deal the president has not made it easier on canada by seeming so hostile. the canadians cannot be perceived by their own voters as having given in. if they give in on this dispute settlement regime, this chapter 19, that will look like they gave in to an unpredictable trump administration that's one problem there and then sort of this dairy subsidy regime, which is already critical to voters in ontario and quebec they can give in a bit they have given in before. maybe they can give in more. the president wants a win. i just am not sure the canadians can give enough where in the president's view he got a clean win and i think it's a little bit of a mess. all the canadians thought they would be getting back from the european holidays now, but they're still in the middle of negotiations >> i want to move on to what else is happening in d.c twitter and facebook, not google, they will be

still a matter of discussion most likely being discussed as we speak here in tech or on at that trilateral summit zain thanks very much thanks let's go to stephanie stephanie's in re hunley on the turkey syria border ok steph the borders are officially closed but can the authorities there looking after the humanitarian aspects of this if it goes the way it might go sustain what they're doing that already. well everyone we've been speaking to say that things are still very unpredictable and the head of the turkish red crescent actually said to us you know we are alone yes there is some help from other aid organizations in the united nations but really is turkey bearing the brunt because it is so close to the conflict i mean as close you can see behind me that's where you see that camp that's the biggest camp in italy province that's just a tiny snapshot of it peter there's eight hundred thousand people that live like that along turkey's border and then not to talk about the civilians and people who live inside the cities those armed groups and there are many of them are also in those cities

humanitarian concerns as well as civilian lives but humanitarian groups and aid workers ahead of this trilateral summit has said that all of the governments involved in syria need to do more to focus on preserving civilian spaces as well as human life. the world is not doing enough to help people displaced by war that was the message during a visit by the un high commissioner for refugees legal ground he was into ran to meet with foreign minister zarif and other senior leaders his trip just days before the presidents of iran russia and turkey hold three party talks into iran i have just been to syria so i reported back to. the government of the about my observations. first and foremost especially in my meeting with minister saadi we spoke about our concerns about it lip. it is clear that the risks of a military confrontation causing massive loss of life. this is is is very high and i told ministers that he thought that my appeal just like the u.n. secretary general and others is let's minimize let's. get these to the parties but then to minimize the loss of life or grandy said syrian refugees wh

airstrikes are taking place at the moment all eyes remain on tomorrow that is when you have the trilateral meeting into between iran turkey and russia everyone expects something to be agreed upon there what this offensive what kind of shape it will take whether it will be limited to certain areas certain groups or wide scale turkey is doing everything to avoid a large scale offensive it is its worst case scenario is to have a fresh influx of flock fresh push of syrian refugees i.d.p.'s towards its borders fleeing the fighting the borders remain closed turkey already hosts over three million people we went to talk to some of the aid organizations to see how they are preparing for what they say they expect to be a potential bloodbath. over the years the province of it live has offered somewhat of a refuge for almost a million internally displaced syrians but that seems like it's all about to change with the expected government offensive backed by russia to recapture the last province left under opposition control turkey's preparing for a worst case scenario already met with the head of turke

group inor interest washington pushing back saying they want a trilateral deal.ow much does that complicate matters for trump? >> surprisingly most of the opposition to this nafta deal, the bilateral pact between mexico and the u.s. right now is not the substance of what's in the deal. i think people are breathing a sigh of relief. thesupply chains, some of aspects of that weren't as harsh as the administration has initially announced. the sunset clause has been watered down for instance. canada might not be included in this pact. we just had a statement from senator wyden. congress has authority. you can't keep canada out of this pact. nafta is canada. that's the most important part of this deal. i think we are going to hear a lot from lawmakers this week about keeping candidate in. vonnie: the canadian dollar is weaker right now. deadline?e absolute it would seem like it would not be until the end of september. at that point it would fall to the next president. absolutely. we are not expecting that canada will announce a deal with the u.s. whichave about four w

surprised if they bring mexico back gus ultimately be message for congress is, this has to be a trilateral deal. the canadians are not held to the same kind of political imperatives the americans are held to. they can potentially put together, i think they want to get this off the table. >> who is in town today and who are you watching for news? >>

so that's -- and lastly on the pluralization, multilateralism rather than trilateral, mexico has saidhere's very little that the outgoing administration has said, they are not given details about this preliminary agreement that they've agreed to with the united states. but one thing they said is that the same basic provisions regarding tariffs, you mentioned about many other trade agreements having relatively low tariffs, that there was no way that mexico was going to give in to having different conditions from those that they signed up to in tpp, which is not been implemented, or the free trade agreement that mexico has, in fact, with the european union signed in 1999-2000, and agreement that functions, and which creates a level playing field which is consonant by large with wto rules. that's at least what they are saying. >> thank you both. let me make just one observation and i'm afraid we have run out of time for questions. on the updating of agreements, rather than going at it regionally, let's just step back a bit and remind ourselves that the nafta renegotiation of the updating
