u. s. has or the federal reserve bank of the u. s. has already increased interest rates much more already earlier than the european central bank. but there are many reasons why this might continue in the future. why that although we have rather similar inflation levels in this country, so to speak, us where 8 percent more than a percent of both countries. i'm the composition of the equation is different. i can receive this pressure mounting on the euro now and for the foreseeable future. how much does that say about the current economic power of the common currency area? it rather said, that's a, something about how attractive is it to invest in the u. s. into financial assets in the us versus financial s. as it's in your area. of course, it's a financial asset that implicitly also depend on the economic power of the 2 country groups. in the u. s. what is really different is 1st, the recession risk you to guess delivery problems is less high then for europe. second in the u. s, we have much better wage developments and better in the sense that th

u. s. is already in the recession, technically in the recession. both quarter want any quarter to have been negative numbers or sol, u. s. c, u s. growth, and the u. s. canada is really, you know, safe in already. how dangerous could have me put a euro's on that is the 19 nations that use the euro. if there is a recession later this year. well, i wish had to recess in also with a pandemic. so where, you know, danger isn't really the right number of suppose we were hoping for a quick growth asked of them. but of course, now with the war in, in russia, this is not going to happen either european economies, a strong economy could. whether this, i think what's important was here is some really the weakest, the how they weakest will be hit. primarily because this is an energy sunni will affect households, mtv, the poor households in ways that are, you know, who we need to be, need to watch for this. the european economy hauling the will. recovery said as it is, we are talking about really the winter after that many things will be different pay marlena. d

u. s. a suggestions this could lead to the u. s. a. joining the treaty, a move which makes very little sense, considering the u. s. already has a free reign without being bound by any treaty, and giving any power or any more power to united nations. not to mention it would open up the possibility of international lawsuits against the u. s. for climate change and would require the us to pay oil and gas production royalties. now following speaker policies visit china and a sign of strength. and some can say intimidation began to hold a live ammunition drills in the time when the straight. in response, taiwan is hoping the allies like the u. s. was certain international law, principal called the freedom of navigation, all to protect the median line between china and taiwan. a boundary which has existed since the 19 fifties and was crossed over by the chinese more than $100.00 times during these recent chinese exercises. now today, while major countries like the united states in the u. k, has said they want to strengthen trade with taiwan. neither have actually committed just been militarily, if a conflict does ignite between

already regular. so many pools on that u. s. relationship with china, and many observers here say that if this goes by, if this trip goes by without a serious retaliation from china without further military escalation, besides the drills that we've seen china carrying out a very close to taiwan and some saying even in ty, ones, aerospace, if that is the past without another serious escalation, they believed that this could be perhaps just another irritant or another pull on that relationship, but that it will remain fairly frosty between china and the u. s. the other reading of course, is that we could see another escalation from china, further escalation, the u. s. responding. and we could see this, this relationship as i said, which is already is seen as frosty, descending even further. thank you for that. so me some escandone in washington dc or he has lucas and all the stories making headlines around the world. voters in the u. s. 8 of kansas have voted to maintain the right to abortion in a deeply conservative state. the v

u. s. already spent like 68000000 or so on ukraine, if you want to get another a 5000000000, then you've got to have an issue on the other side of the world too. so that could be one motivation or another motivation is it has, it has to have something to do with this pat bill, the semiconductor chip that all that just didn't pass by her us house pending in the senate. right now, are you know, by going to try one, which is a big producer of mass production, a semiconductor chips. i know she's going to have an opportunity to speak to these companies. i'm sure she will about, you know, maybe getting a piece of that. 76000000 action by moving some of the operations a to the united states here. so that's a possibility. another possibility is u. s. domestic politics. you know, the democrats don't have much to run on in the november elections domestically, inflation and so forth. are, are gone pretty poorly here. and so creating a foreign policy issue, you know, just helps the ukraine is not the same kind

u. s. is already engaged in another huge security challenge, namely the war in ukraine. and that, that is going to be difficult to balance. and there is the concern that the u. s. it might be on a collision course, essentially with 2 world powers, china and russia by aggravating china with a visit like this. and this comes at a time where beijing and moscow have already been deepening their alliance. so the concern pablo being that this could push them even closer into each other's arms if you will. suit me. what about the white house? where does president biden stand on nancy pelosi visit? well, it is a very complex issue. i mean, the white house, as you mentioned, president biden did express concern about nancy pelosi going to taiwan. and he did not actually tell her not to go, but there were concerns from the department of defense as well. and with the white house. so focused on the war and ukraine, it has been seen as a bit of a distraction, perhaps. but there has been some speculation that the white house might have privately condone this visit by nancy pelosi as a w

u. s. and taiwan already share a longstanding trade and investment relationship. why does this apparently need to be deepened? well, 1st of all, since, hi juan. um, it's something that they have been waiting for more than 20 years, although it's called an initiative now. but taiwan delete that will eventually become a complete f t a and how and believe that it will also help it to pave the way to joy. see p t p p which they have a fierce competition with a melon, china, and a for us. it's just a part of it. some strategy in the pacific strategy to build new trade orders. um we know that um china is um, trying to gain is in our importance and its influence in this region. so there's not, no doubt that this initiative is aiming at china, which plays an important role in the world's biggest trade, a framework r e c p, in which the u. s. united states is not aims to working closely with taiwan is i'm essentially a tool to compete strategically with china. so taiwan hoping for a full fledged to a free trade agreement at the end of these talks here. what specifically is
