i think a u.s. u.k.al is a distinct realistic possibility for 2020 provided that britain is able to leave the european union on october 31st as scheduled. that's the most important element is britain will able to leave the eu, which enables the u.k. then to negotiate and sign free trade agreements, so there's tremendous momentum on both sides of the atlantic. there is a lot of support for a u.s. u.k. free trade deal here in london right now. and i think that the stars are in alignment for such a deal. so yes, i'm optimistic, and it's tremendous that the president has been strongly advancing the idea of a free trade deal with the u.k. >> it's carol roth. in terms of doing a trade deal together, does this impact the ability for the u.k. to brexit and exit the eu a little more cleanly knowing perhaps this lessens the burden of the economic impact of leaving? >> hi, carol, that's a great question. i think certainly the possibility of a u.s. u.k. free trade deal will make the likelihood of a no deal brexit i

on its side because of the hope there is a u.s.-u.k. ree trade deal even though the volume of trade between the u.s. and u.k. is small compared to the european union. increasedu assume u.s.-u.k. trade means diminished europe trade? theyning: -- stephanie: have sold it as a world beyond the eu and if they cannot get a u.s.-u.k. free trade deal, a deal with their closest ally, there are questions over whether the brexit project can succeed. francine: stephanie, thank you. a senior writer. erik is staying with us. david rubenstein and the carlyle group co-founder will be talking with a lot of people, including , on bloomberg tv. ♪ ease now, that if we we could reset inflation at 2% target, a good thing for fed credibility and the 2% -- credibility of our 2% target, and provide insurance in case the downturn was in global growth was more severe than we had previously expected. louis,e man from st. there are governors and presidents and the vice chairman , the chairman speaking today, jerome powell but far more importantly each is different a

u.k. makes preparations to exit the european union the united states is committed to a phenomenal trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. there is tremendous potential trade deal now he seemed to be almost reading from a script because he moved away from his usual famous candid approach but he kept that behavior at bay apart from when talking about jeremy corbett and in fact we actually saw a dose of his signature. as the protests i have to tell you because i commented on it yesterday we left the prime minister the queen the royal family there were thousands of people on the streets cheering and even coming over today there were thousands of people cheering and then i heard that there were protests i said where are the protests i don't see any protests i did see a small protest today when i came 1st small so a lot of it is fake news i hate to say thousands of protesters took to the streets to condemn his policies surrounding climate change immigration international relations and of course the issues surrounding women and. was. an aside the policing issue how much is all of this costing what in terms of cos

the so-called divorce speech of the european union on tuesday trying talked up the prospects of a u.s. u.k. trade deal which would presumably offset the economic harm from the no deal brags that he also recommended but trump also went on to say that everything will be on the table in u.s. u.k. trade talks including the national health service which provides health care free of charge to all britons earlier today former member of parliament george galloway addressed the threat to public services from u.s. u.k. trade talks. and so the trade deal negotiations will if they found out all found are on the idea as i mentioned to you yesterday that our vital public services can be privatized and sold off to u.s. companies no one will ever accept that would become the front line of the next british general election and anybody advocating it would not win dialectician. so this is an interesting president trump seems to be honest behavior this that and this is quite a difference to his normal day behavior and we've seen this before you before he arrived he was indorsing boris johnson as the next prim

u.s. and the u.k. if the american president continues his state visit to britain.i dare anyone to trump protesters flood central london with the infamous baby don't know what balloon flying over the city again but the us president seems to really have been looking the other way. where the protests i don't. just i did see a small protest today when i gave birth small. also raised face genocide is our government report brown's decades of violence against canada as indigenous women prime minister justin trudeau was heckled though for failing to use the word genocide when admitting mistakes were made.

u.s. and u.k. companies with the ongoing uncertainty over brics it british businesses are hoping to cement trans atlantic. the meeting between u.s. and british business leaders went smoothly both sides cordially signaling they were eager to reach of bilateral trade agreement. to. give. gifts but before the meeting with business leaders the u.s. president tweeted big trade deal is possible once u.k. gets rid of the shackles already starting to talk by shackles the u.s. president was referring to britain's complicated divorce process from the e.u. to trump a signal to things britain should leave the e.u. without an agreement but is a trade deal with the u.s. enough to offset the potential losses that britain could face if it leaves the block without a deal the u.k.'s trade volume with the u.s. is much lower than the amount with other e.u. countries in 2017 britain imported 11 percent of its goods from the u.s. compare that to well over half from the european union while 18 percent of british exports w

u.k. and the u.s. if the u.k. union, he insists that a substantial trade deal lies around the corner is it really possible that a u.s., u.k. enhanced trading relationship could offset the u.k. leaving the e.u. and what that means for the u.k.? >> no, it's absolutely impossible trade is a function of many things but above all the size of an economy and the distance between the two trading partners the u.k. exports, i think, something like 18% of its exports to the united states and 45% to the e.u., and there's a simple reason for that the first reason is proximity, the second reason is that the u.k. is integrated into the e.u. economy. nothing like that is going to happen with the u.s. >> and perhaps shifting gears to the u.s. and mexico trade dispute. as we just heard there in terms of support from congress for this move, the republicans, the senate republicans have warned that they may not back president trump here, and china in contrast was unique in that it did have -- president trump did have bipartisan suppor

u.s. and u.k. companies with the ongoing uncertainty over bricks and british businesses are hoping to cement transatlantic ties. he came he saw. he tweeted. big trade deal is possible once the u.k. gets rid of the shackles already starting to talk the u.s. president rose as he prepared to meet u.s. and u.k. business leaders in london. the shackles he is referring to. britain's drawn out process of leaving the european union. but is the promise of a big trade deal with the u.s. anough to offset the potential chaos the u.k. could face if it leaves the e.u. without a deal the relative size of the u.k.'s trade relationship suggests it may not be. in 2017 the u.k. imported 11 percent of its goods from the u.s. compare that to well over half from the european union while 18 percent of british exports went to the u.s. a far larger 45 percent went to the e.u. . that said as the u.k. braces for a future outside the bloc securing solid trade ties with other major partners is becoming an ever greater priority

u.s. and the u.k. that they both hope to come out they say post brags that donald trump said it would be phenomenal that it would increase trade between the 2 countries at least 2 or 3 times they spoke about their shared values they spoke about d.-day commemorations that they'll be attending tomorrow but a really fun bit in the press conference was when it brought to the q. and a session because that is where both leaders want to go off script and donald trump weighed in on the break that process take a listen to what he had to say about that i really predicted what was going to happen so move you remember that prediction was a strong prediction made it a certain location and development we were opening the day before it happened and i thought it was going to happen because of immigration more than anything else but probably it happens for a lot of reasons but i would say yeah i would think that it will happen and it probably should happen donald trump was also asked about the man of london city con wh

u.s. and u.k. is the american president continues his state visit to britain. from protesters flood central london with the infamous baby donald's balloon flying over the city again u.s. president seems to be looking the other way. we were the protests i don't see any protests i did see a small protest today when i came 1st. race based genocide government report runs decades of violence against canada's indigenous prime minister just. for failing to use the word genocide when admitting mistakes were made. this is an uncomfortable day for a. very good evening thanks for joining us this is r.t. . the 2nd day of the u.s. president's visit to the u.k. donald trump and prime minister theresa may spoke at a press conference highlighting the issues they discussed in a meeting earlier in the day that included trade. and of course. explain. might be raining here in westminster but it's not raining on the. parade which is in full swing in parliament square. protesters demonstrating against the full blown state visits that the u.s. president has been. treated to head over

u.s. and the u.k. obviously it will be phil who has that succeeds me is prime minister to take this issue forward there is tremendous potential in that trade deal. paramount's i believe is delivering on bret's it for the full the british people he believes it works and he doesn't believe that they should stay he thinks this comes to a whole lot better and a good deal for him is one way the benefits and the rich people off that i don't think that should be encouraged specialist on the price it is that he's going to take advantage of that look i think everything with the trade deal is on the table when you when you're dealing in trade everything's on the table. also coming up china has trying to erase all memories of the tiananmen square massacre 30 years ago but in hong kong the lessons learned in 1809 are as alive as . we teenagers we found that the government tried to. try to pass our language try to class identity as a hong kong hong kong and we don't want that to happen and we don't want hong kong j

u.s. and the u.k. as a president described it, the greatest alliance the world has seen. >> and the future is very uncertain now. not only in british politics as to who would replace british prime minister theresa may, for what will happen with brexit. it's because she tried three times and failed to get the brexit agreement through parliament that she is stepping down as the prime minister. the two leaders to talk about brexit. president trump has said he would like to see a "no deal" brexit occur by the end of october. theresa may thinks there still is a way to do it in conjunction with the european union, and many people in her conservative party also believe it's in the best interest of the u.k. to do it with the agreement of the european union. but here's what both leaders said about brexit earlier. listen here. >> i would say, yeah, i think it will happen and it probably should happen. this is a great, great country and it wants its own identity. it wants to have its own borders. it wants to run

u.s. it's the u.k.'s the closest ally and one of the issues to be discussed most certainly is who away the chinese telecommunications company trump wants the u.k. to ban the network from building the next generation network here in the u.k. you threatening to withhold intelligence information so that will most certainly be discussed as well as a u.s. u.k. trade deal for breakfast so 2 very business topics that are on the agenda today while these 2 meet leaders meet we are also expecting massive protests here in central london and the significance of this visit really comes because britain is divided over the question of whether trump should be hosted and such a lavish state visit yesterday he was greeted by the queen and pomp and ceremony and we can see the pictures now let's take a look. he loves glitz and glamour at buckingham palace didn't disappoint in the evening fit for a king at a state banquet with the queen they didn't have the 9 right you all to rise and drink a toast to president and mrs trump

u.k. there's a lot at stake for u.s. and u.k. i understand you had a seat at the banqueting table last night. briefly give us a sense of the mood in the room and why this matters for your business? i think the mood in the room was very gracious. i thought the comments made by her majesty but also by the president were observant of the special relationship that the two countries have. margins therehe was also some talk about trade and the future of trade relations, etc. but i think both heads of state were focused on reaffirming the special relationship the two countries have. for that matter, we also have a very special relationship with the u.s., investing about 40% of our capital in that country, $10 billion a year. therefore, we pay great attention to the future of the economy and our regulations come about. how tradee worried sanctions could complicate particularly the supply chains we have building projects in the u.s. but at the same time, these are things that are ultimately in the big scheme of things for our business sep

u.s. and u.k. business leaders in london. the shackles he is referring to. britain's drawn out process of leaving the european union. but is the promise of a big trade deal with the u.s. enough to offset the potential chaos the u.k. could face if it leaves the e.u. without a deal the relative size of the u.k.'s trade relationships suggests it may not be. in 2017 the u.k. imported 11 percent of its goods from the u.s. compare that to well over half from the european union while 18 percent of british exports went to the u.s. a far larger 45 percent went to the e.u. . that said as the u.k. braces for a future outside the bloc securing solid trade ties with other major partners is becoming an ever greater priority. well that also goes for the heads of german industry who are holding their annual meeting today they have a lot to talk about the u.s. trying to trade wall bricks it of course and tensions between washington and brussels all of that is weighing on business sentiment so the business world expects the german government to take action at home the digital

u.s. and u.k.enda, meeting the queen, sitting down with theresa may, and commemorating d-day. on wednesdaymouth before heading to normandy on thursday. he will also be meeting emmanuel macron. he is also meeting with the irish prime minister. let's focus on europe's biggest economies, the main governing parties are trying to pick up the pieces of their coalition after the unexpected resignation of the leader. she says she has lost the support of her party, and her departure could prompt the spd exit from the government coalition which could force merkel to make a minority government, or call another election. us.guest is still with what does this departure mean for the coalition? >> hi, francine. she was one of the people who really pushed the spd to join the coalition and if you look back you will remember that they were very much reelecting partners. this has people in berlin asking questions about how long this coalition will go on. there's another school of thought that says spd won't pull the

u.k. and u.s. businesses when we met them earlier today tomorrow we will sit down in portsmouth with our fellow leaders to reinforce but reaffirm the enduring importance of the western alliance and the shared values that underpin it and as we look to the future in the years and in the generations ahead we will continue to work together to preserve the alliance that is the bedrock of our shared prosperity and security just as it was on the beaches of normandy 75 years ago. mr president well thank you prime minister may loni and i are honored to return to london as our nation's commemorate the 75th anniversary of d.-day in world war 2 we want to thank her majesty the queen. who i had a lovely dinner with the last night a fantastic person fantastic woman for so graciously inviting us to this state visit it was very very special our thanks as well to prime minister and mr may for the warm welcome they've given the 1st lady and me as we remember the heroes who laid down their lives to rescue civilizatio

u.s. business here in the u.k. and then he's going to be he's got a short meeting with a reason may in downing street it's not going to be a one on one as was expected beforehand of course plenty of people hit want to criticize donald trump protesters are expected to follow him everywhere he goes they're keen to criticize the british government's decision to even allow such a massive state visit at a time of political crisis the trump baby believe is being prepared i think is going to be unveiled tomorrow but yet such a divisive figure and so many people keen to express dissatisfaction with the fact that he's come here. former mayor of london ken livingstone joins me now for his take on terms of visit let's start straightaway with this war of words between trump and the current mayor as a former mayor yourself is it appropriate to treat such blows in this way. well it's quite bizarre to think that an american president with all the vos responsibilities that bad down presidents in that job that he's getting into a t

u.k. and the u.s. the nation's commemorate as the u.k. makes preparations to exit the european union the united states is committed to a phenomenal trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. there is tremendous potential in the trade deal i say probably to get even 3 times of what we're doing right now tremendous potential tremendous potential i'm joined now by barry gets my ass our correspondent in london now she's near felger square i understand where a lot of protests have been taking place against mr trump's visit bigots or trump still not a fan of the european union but he came bearing gifts offering outgoing prime minister made the possibility of a phenomenal trade deal any details on what a phenomenal trade deal might look like. well the can't really be details right now because the u.k. is still a member of the european union so they can pave the way for a trade me but it can't happen just yet there was no quick movement in the press conference when president trump was asked if every part of the economy should be on the trade bill fo

he is trying very hard to make a u.s./u.k. trade deal sounds straightforward, but the kinds of things that america is going to want in a u.k. trade deal are the kind of things it is going to be really hard to sell to british voters. whatever the reality is about the safety of american food, britons don't like the sound of hormone injected beef or chlorinated chicken. in a situation of massive political instability in the u.k., who wants to spend political capital explaining to british people that they have to eat chicken that's been washed in chlorine? or getting onto the nhs, which is a massively sensitive issue. it is hard to see how, when you get to the reality of trade deal talks, how they don't just get stalled on this stuff. guy: todd mariano, let me bring you in on that point. for the issue of a trade deal, what should the british take away from the president's tariff-led policy on global trade? if the british post-brexit, and this is an active debate in the country, what kind of trade deal could be achieved in the atlan

pay the so-called divorce fee to the european union on tuesday trying talked up the prospects of a u.s. u.k. trade deal which would presumably offset the economic harm from the no deal brags that he also recommended but trump also went on to say that everything will be on the table in u.s. u.k. trade talks including the national health service.

u.k. makes preparations to exit the european union the united states is committed to a phenomenal trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. there is tremendous potential in the trade deal i say probably to even 3 times of what we're doing right tremendous potential today we've discussed again the importance of our 2 nations working together to address it runs destabilizing activity in the region and to in short iran cannot acquire a nuclear weapon although we differ on the means of achieving that as i've said before the u.k. continues to stand by the nuclear deal it is clear that we both want to reach the same goal it is important that iran meets its obligations and we do everything to avoid escalation which is in no one's interest i surely will speak to our white house correspondent kimberly how i get in washington but 1st live to lawrence the outside 10 downing street the official residence of the british prime minister said the 2 leaders praised the strength of their relationship but also a number of different says the on several issues between these 2 countries iran differences as well on china and also

u.k. needs to stand up stronger with the u.s. and really push the europeans on that. china's another one. huawei being the backbone of 5g networks in any free western country it's just not going to work and the u.k. needs to stand up on that. on foreign policy, there's more that a strong conservative leadership in the u.k. could do and the president's going to hammer that as well, i think. >> the president has shown support for borris johnson as who he hopes would be the next british prime minister. what are your thoughts on him? do you think he would do a good job? >> borris johnson's a good friend to the heritage foundation. we've known him for many, many years. i think he has the potential to stand up and be the strong leader. there's a lot of good conservative leaders that have been waiting for their chance and they know this is a crucial moment. if they screw this up, if october rolls around and britain's not out of the e.u., then effectively that's the end of the conservative party and the politics of the u.k., we don't know what the next government might look li

u.k. where u.s. president donald trump is finishing his 2nd day of a controversial official state visit for a 2nd straight day thousands took to the streets of london to protest the u.s. president even as trump labeled reports of those protests as fake news today trump met with the british prime minister to resume a and he held the extraordinary relationship between britain and the u.s. he pledged improved trade top. with the u.s. if britain leaves the european union this fall. it was a date to special relationships u.s. president donald trump and the outgoing british prime minister treason may on stage together for probably one of the last times for the past 2 and a half years the president and i have had the privilege of being the latest guardians of this precious and profound friendship between our countries as with our previous s's when we have faced threats to the security of our citizens and our allies we have stood together and acted together that included cooperation to stop iran getting nucl

u.s. the u.k. norway were engaging in in 2011. with the nation building which was to try to focus on recounts island south sudanese because again like islands that even when there is a civil war the the war that mock makes the most damage is they in turn seen the ethnic relationships between the dinner and the between various communities of income between this and that it is they are they the failure of the south sudanese state to build a sense of collective nationhood that has caused the most damage as well as the international community can be blamed i think. it is only that disconnect between state building and nation building which they have failed to invest in an ak and say that the coming of independence the succession that starts with amateurs we. can only it with him if anybody has to be blamed for it and i don't know why we should blame anybody because busy the south sudanese themselves who for and achieve that independence the countries that assisted in that process. are now being distracted by their own concerns the uni

u.k. that the u.s. might have the upper hand as well when it comes to a trade deal that the stronger partner and they might be able to dictate terms and conditions to the u.k. at least this is the fear by some here then there are others in the british government who want to be very positive about it and want to see the opportunity of a trade deal spot the devil will be in the detail and we haven't even really seen the start of the negotiations the start of the detail they go see asians right the devil will be in the details are good let's talk about those thousands of people who were behind you were a short time ago demonstrating against president trump's visit to britain what are they angry about. i've spoken to some of the protesters and they had a variety of reasons some were mentioning his policy towards refugees they were objecting he's talking about the war with mexico several also we're talking about climate change now i was a bit astonished when president trump in their press conference said that
