summit of the world's biggest economies came to a close with odd leaders agreeing to present a united front on pliable trade but the big developments to pass on the sidelines with the united states and china agreeing to restart trade talks our white house correspondent can be how to get reports from eye socket. with fears of further escalation in the trade war between the united states and china chinese president xi jinping issued words of warning to u.s. president donald trump. and the searchers should only china and the united states benefit from. a confrontation. of the united states donald j. trump those words may have resonated following that meeting on the 2nd day of the g. 20 summit trump announced a breakthrough no new u.s. tariffs on chinese goods and a restart of stalled trade talks we're going to work with china on where we left off to see if we can make a deal but the 25 percent tariffs already on 250000000000 in chinese goods into the united states remains in place the threat of tariffs on an additional $300000000000.00 more in chinese products a potential risk to the global ec

president donald trump and canadian prime minister justin trudeau the 2 countries presented a united front on thursday in pushing a still an ratified north american free trade deal. time heals apparently just a year ago u.s. president donald trump described his canadian counterpart is very dishonest and weak now he's full of praise the 2 have agreed that canada will export rare earths to the u.s. essential for computers and military technologies that will make the us less dependent on china president xi jinping recently hinted he would use his country's dominant position in the rare earth sector as leverage in the trade dispute with the u.s. something just in trudeau is well aware of. we discussed some of the challenges that china is presenting not just to canada but 2 different sectors of the global economy and we certainly agree that we will continue to work together as friends and allies to to resolve these other issues the new north american free trade agreement is taking shape on thursday mexico became the 1st country to sign the u.s. m.c.a. . the us congress has yet to approve it as

adding the $27.00 managed to remain surprisingly i would add united on this front so i guess what i'm saying is that we've already digested the cost now the big cost to be paid is really on the u.k. side not the rest of the e.u. i want to go back a little bit elections because there were so and to some pain. by people who are so divided about it. the crank coalition in the parliament is sort of now dead what does this mean is it going to be harder for the union to take consolidated decisions or not. no i don't think it will be hard i think it means 2 things one remains not fundamentally different from the past and what i mean by this is that the most for political family is the popular party socialist greens and liberals are not new political families all 4 were already present in the european parliament and in the european parliament the way in which decisions are taken are very much issue based and depending on what the issue is actually already in the past you had coalitions forming that even went beyond the solid sort of popular party socialist bloc if you like of the past so in a

president trump and moon jae-in are together on this with a united front.outh korea has been trying hard to engage with north korea. moon jae-in said it was the first time that a south korean president and american president had been together at the dmz as a united front that could have moved kim jong-un down the road in terms of convincing him that he has to get rid of his entire nuclear weapons program and chemical and biological weapons as well, which is the demand president trump made during the hanoi summit. we'll see where this goes in the next few minutes. but the scene of extraordinary chaos. the reason the two leaders are there, to talk to each other and tell the world as they are standing there together. the security people shoved the cameras away and surrounded them not allowing us to get the pictures they wanted us to see. you can understand the unprecedented nature of this. their heartbeats were probably pegged at 185 beats per minute making sure nothing happened to their person on their watch. jon: the north koreans have been fed a steady diet

important to have the german chancellor there and have this united western front and also, ostentatiouslyng to do. someone was drawing attention to this and there is a good cartoon today. by the way, don't forget us next time, showing a russian soldier dressed as he would in the war because you can snub the putin. there is the alliance. with the chinese. there is all of that and the... and germany is happy to take russian gas which is likely to be subject to us sanctions so there is a lot more at play. there is a nato survival. and huawei. security, energy, all of it in the mix. it is quite disturbing. i know you would make it a point to make it a western event but i think it is quite disturbing you don't have president xijinping and disturbing you don't have president xi jinping and putin. disturbing you don't have president xijinping and putin. you can't co nsta ntly xijinping and putin. you can't constantly have this divide between value and commerce or when you have this level of inconsistency. the picture with president macron and trumps is telling. they are about to become adverse a

wants to act as a united front when it comes to one vote one belt some member states are saying. you know sign the contracts with presidency and what do you think it is that this is always been the case i mean this sort of tension between you know acting uniting and acting bilaterally has always been at the heart of european integration but i think it's a changing balance in favor of greater unity not because we all agree with each other and love each other but because we understand that unless we do we are all liable to lose out so it is not you know a point in which you know yesterday it was like rats and tomorrow it's going to be like this. it's a changing balance in a changing story but i think the direction of travel is towards greater unity rather than towards great a disintegration of fragmentation as i think that's thank you very much for this into 90 good luck with everything. with this manufactured sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling class to some project themselves. in the final. the one percent. we can all middle of the room 6. 1000000 real news. the world. a

politicians come out and give a few statements to the press they're trying to present a very calm united front saying everything is going to be fine there are no major changes that are going to happen besides finding a new leader and we even saw the leader of this you throw his support behind a possible candidate already so already possible pushing forward on what could be the next steps. why the implications of what's happening here has this resignation totally shaken up the political establishment or would you call it just more of a trauma. so you say you can up the social democrat party and it is a major trauma to the stability of the current grand coalition government and what this angle americal self declared final term in office so yes this could potentially be the beginning of the end but the next couple of days will be very telling in how much stability there still is and how much willingness to stay in the government on the side of the social democrats here the conservative c.d.u. party which is supposedly stronger in this coalition is now completely at the mercy of the social democra

wanting a european army for example that today there was none of dots it was really about showing a united front to. read in the speeches we had saying that the european union the united nations were a direct result of d.-day and what happened there we'd hear anything like that coming from the president. is that evidence though that we're still dealing with 2 world views that. maybe could collide and they are very different indeed. michael mentioned you up he said it was a direct result of world war 2 he also talked about nato which seemed to have been a direct job president trampin he mentioned at the united nations who was born as a result of world war 2 why donald trump trump and focused more on america's sovereignty and in doing so he seemed to have was so forgotten that america became the united states became a superpower so mostly because of the war industry that developed to be able to have some critics have said you could see your america 1st between the lines of that speech today by the president remember as always we appreciate your insights thank you. well the d.-day landings in norma

japan's prime minister shinzo ave hailed the summit a success saying the leaders agreed to present a united front on global trade isn't. stubborn and trade tensions are continuing and there's a risk so we have to keep those risks and tensions in mind still we have agreed to unite in order to lead the world economy there are some dissatisfactions between countries so although there are concerns what we have to do is establish principles in order to lead the world economy into the future a free fair and inclusive economy and open competition those principles have been affirmed by the leaders of this g 20 meeting. thomas joins us live now from. summits like the g 20 are often criticized as being talking shops where not much really gets done but many leaders will be relieved that the leaders of the 2 world's biggest economies have agreed to restart talks on that i won't be any new tariffs at least for now. yeah well that is good news is not the best news that the could have been the coulda been a real breakthrough here when the president of china or the president of the us met and that obviously hasn

when the eu moves together in a kind of a united front, it achieves things that benefit the entire worldd reinstates international rules—based order, which is what trump is trying to demolish. i think it is very important to pay attention, we know that putin says liberalism is the way... taking this proof from the both of you, we won't talk about trump tweeting, let's talk about putin on liberalism, a huge tweaking of the west's tale. what do you think of that? it is... you have to give it to putin he was the master, when he was at the kgb, the art of twisting things and making it information. his interview was a masterpiece of disinformation. he was talking nonsense, first of all, saying liberal values are outdated, which is not true. they're still the dominant, and the fundamental philosophy still. he was also collating it with letting migrants come in and rape people and the rights of lg bt people. he was making a completely false association. yet, you pay tribute to his smarts in doing so. so how does he manage to spin that, in your view, what is clever about it? he uses the weakness

they put up a united front. year ago, trump was at the meetings in quebec and as soon as he left, he got on his plane and tweeted that trudeau was weak and dishonest and withdrew his name from the communique and communications were at a low. we have seen the usmca negotiated, steel and aluminum tariffs removed. that has allowed the leaders to put on a braver face with each other. toyou said, the usmca needs be passed in the legislatures of canada and the u.s.. canada seems to be tying the timing of that process to the u.s. getting it ratified, and that depends on congress. and the key lies with nancy pelosi. when the democrats believe they have a deal they can get past through their party. amanda: of course, at that meeting, the subject of the two canadians being detained in china came up. the president said if justin trudeau -- asked him, he would raise that with xi jinping. in terms of how this fits into the mix, this is a more friendly and counter than as you say they have had in the past, it is still not tot
