the european union is bracing itself for a trade war with the united states europe's highest trade representative cecilia strome warned on monday that the u.s. is playing a dangerous game that could spark a trade war that nobody would win she said europe regards the u.s. as a friend and does not want a trade war but is willing to take countermeasures if necessary you know we know how to treat war but we could be and that would be extremely serious if this situation escalates because i do not think trade wars are good and i don't think they are easy to win and that is something that many countries across the world change and i wouldn't say to protect the european union and other countries such as mexico and canada reacted last week against something that we thought was blatantly violating the w two roofs we stand up for w. so we took us to the w t o and we're also preparing a fully compliant w two rebalancing measures. german chancellor angela merkel has broken cover and eurozone reform responding to a speech by a french president a monarch or in april merkel agreed the founding of a european mone

period since 2015 or so, you start to see the united states expanding the use of these trade restrictions beyond china to other trading partners. to europe, brazil, japan, korea. why? steel is essentially -- it has properties that are somewhat commoditized. stopping the imports from coming into the united states doesn't stop china's exports from going to third markets. china's exports go into third markets, that squeezes other producers out of those markets and into the very attractive u.s. market, because it has higher prices because of import restrictions already in place. they don't tackle the underlying problem. the trade restrictions start to expand on to other countries, as well. first through anti dumping or what we have seen recently which is the use of the national security tariffs, right, on steel. we see the same story for aluminum. or under different laws in solar panels as we saw in the section 201, the global safeguard case, right? so what's happened is china's growth is slowed, as adam indicated. a natural phenomenon, say. it's now exporting a greater share of its production and certainly in the case of steel. but the u.s.

a group of like-minded countries, the united states, europe, japan, canada, market oriented economy, ut negotiating this with china would be important. at the same time, filing a set of wto disputes against china on this issue, state owned enterprises, subsidies, in conjunction with another critical issue that adam identified which is intellectual property or force technology transfer, all of these should be put on the table. agree it would put stress on the w tao system that it's already under stress. even where we don't think there are clear rules on the wto, i would argue there is a clause in there were your allowed to bring non- violation complaints under article 23. again, even this process would be useful, ao from china's perspective. it not only puts the spotlight on the concerns that the united states, europe, other countries have with what's going on in china, but it would help china understand specifically what those concerns are. when negotiations take place for the rules, they better understand what the perspective is of the other side. then, two things, disputes, negotiat

this in terms of a win win economically they see this as a win lose the united states versus china the united states versus europe the united states versus canada and this new breed of protectionist political as well as economic protectionist even if they think that they're losing some support amongst other americans they simply will say fake news fake media liberals and hope that that base gets them through whatever economic damage the rest of us may suffer and so that some of the domestic politics at play you know putting america against the rest of the world on the banks go ahead well it's that what they're preaching is this mercan settle ism that was supposedly died but now has been a neo neo ised by these people but whether telling donald trump is that america is strong today in twenty years america will not be in the same position so the time is now to strike so they're selling this not only the zero sum ideology but they're also saying that this is the only time that the u.s. can reassert itself and prolong its stay at the top now this is all wound into american exceptionalism that the u.s. must be politic

you have all these crises going on and the united states is trying to make a point that this is important for me. europetand, it is as timbale expanse, they are saying we will go to the world trade organisation but they going on and the united states is trying to make a point that this is europe is making a stand, it is a symbolic stand, they are saying we will go to the world trade organisation but they are countries that take national security as an issue. when it comes to the national security issues, the world trade organisation rules don't apply, that is the united states and russia. russia is trying to come between the united states and europe, trying to advise that we are here if the us abandons you. it is not a great choice, it is hobson‘s choice. the next topics, will reflect that europe is not only faced with a new transatlantic relationship, but internally with brexit, italy and eastern european countries having a different policy to what brussels thinks in terms of domesticjudicial reforms and so on. so many battlefields in europe domestically and internationally, it is exhausting. it is a g

that the us wants to move our anti-missile defenses in the system into europe presumably because of the withdrawal of the united states from the iran deal but iran is somehow a threat to europe this is this is very provocative behavior on the part of the u.s. considering europe is staying with the deal with the iranians go ahead alex. and i think the point you make about and ballistic defenses and all the rest is that the united states has been driving now at least twenty years. and is going to continue doing so for every opportunity to do so trying every country that there are directed against russia that is to me in refutable irrefutably true you know it's interesting because i don't see this security necessity mark but these systems are very expensive aren't they i mean someone's going to be cashing in on this they're extremely expensive but i'm sure the trumpet ministration will try to get the german government to foot the bill his constant complaint is you're going to say to the german government don't know you can't import cars or cars in the united states you're insane events but you have to take our assuring t

state of russian and u.s. relations but there may be more at play here than two countries making friends there is europe at stake really because relations between the united states and europe have tanked after donald trump slapped tariffs on european goods that started something of a trade war then there's donald trump scotchman's about nato about how you know he isn't satisfied about how things are done that europe should pay more and if you look at it from another perspective politically this may be about using russia as a pieces a chess piece in the game between europe and the united states essentially the united states is saying unless you dance to our strings we're going to make friends with russia and that may well scare europe and it would also explain donald trump's recent highly and expected comment about bringing russia back into the g. eight. i would rather see russia in the g. eight as opposed to the i would say that the g. eight is a more meaningful group than the g seven. whatever it is that donald trump and his administration are playing at whatever it is that you know europe wants to do the press the press doesn't like it at all british pr

/europe relationship as just part of the normal ups and downs in the transatlantic relationship. this simply is not true. the relationship between the united states and europe is in crisis. it's never been this bad in the post-war era. it's getting worse by the month, and if it collapses, as i would argue it is on pace to do, then the entire world order, based on a joint u.s./european drive to promote open economies collapses as well. i know this sounds hyperbolic, but i think the stakes are this high. the stake of the relationship is in that bad a state, and i don't even have time to run through the gauntlet of abuses the president has heaped on europe, but here's a few. he's u.n. lateral -- u.n. laterally backed out of paris climate accord and perceived our european allies to be global economic adversaries than economic partners, regularly personal attacks european leaders on twitter, saving the most vicious treatment for germany. he cheered as a candidate and still cheers the break up of the european union, he traffics european white nationalist progun did a through his social media -- propaganda through his social media feed, and recently ann

again, in the united states, in western europe, chief justices of the united states, in western europeces of the supreme court would not be making these very high profile, public, political comments. in the face of very strong pronouncements, where the president himself seems to be leading us towards a system where basically he thought that he could disregard the constitutional guarantees of due process to ourjudges, and even our citizens, i am forced, i am forced, to remind everyone of the constitution. remember, stephen, the fight for our democracy is an ongoing one. it is not as if we have a very stable system. the democracy in my country must regard it at all times. well, talking of democracy, let us not forget mr duterte won a thumping majority at the polls in 2016. you were an appointed judge. he had a mandate, for example, to impose a security crackdown on mindanao. he also had a very clear mandate to conduct his tough wallasey on drugs. now, just a slight correction, he did not win a majority, he won a plurality. now, with respect to whether an unelected judge can weigh in, of

-europe relationship as jus pt of the normal ups and downs in the transatlantic relationship. this simply is not true. the relationship between the united states and europe is in crisis. it has never been this bad in the post war era. it is getting worse by the month. and if it collapses, as i would argue it is on pace to do, then the entire world order, based upon a joint u.s.-europe drive for democracy to the world collapses as well. i know this sounds hypervolumic, but i really do thinks the stakes are high. i think the state of the relationship, if it is a relationship these days, is in that bad a state. i don't have time to run through the gauntlet of abuses that the president has had. as h unilaterally backed out of the two most important diplomatic achievements, the paris accord and the iran nuclear agreement. he started a trade war that the chairman referenced with europe for the global economic add strer sayre res, rather than -- adversaries rather than partners. the undisputed leader of the eeu. he cheers the breakup of the union parading around like some sort of revolutionary hero. he tries to open rather than heal racial and ethnic

united states and russia. russia is trying to come between the united states and europe, trying to advise that we are here if theoe. europe, trying to advise that we are here if the us abandoned shoem europe, trying to advise that we are here if the us abandoned shoe. it is not a great choice, it is hobson‘s choice. the next topics, will reflect europe is not faced with a new transatlantic relationship, but internally with brexit, italy and eastern european countries having a different policy to what brussels thinks in terms of domesticjudicial reforms and so on. so many battlefields in europe domestically and internationally, it is exhausting. it is a game of multi dimensional chess. italy have averted a constitutional crisis. after five star and the league, the populist parties who topped the poll in the country's general election, blinked first. they had wanted to appoint a finance minister who thinks italy should never have joined the euro. president matarella said no. he feared italy could crash out of the eurozone without italians having been asked whether or not they wanted to leave. all eyes were on rome

in central europe, it is an important subject. >> for those who are listening who are wondering why this is a big deal for the united states, it is a back door to the united states. as european firms become owned by a chinese company that may have a national security interest, we then contract with that company in europe that is now going through a process with regards to chinese investment. we could circumvent our process here. i think it is important for us, as well as our allies. i hope you will continue to work with them on that. i think it is in our interest that they do have a screen. with regard to u.s.-russian relations, you made an interesting point earlier which is you can look at the rhetoric or you can look at the results. it is pretty impressive in terms of what this administration has been able to do in terms of pushing back in some very specific areas. the sanctions were talked about , understandably. the administration did sign the legislation and has implemented those sanctions. the sanctions are appropriate as to not just the illegal annexation but also other issues. i think it is a perfect way to keep sa

not just in the united states, throughout europe. a report in january that spelled out the use of the asymmetric arsenal to compromise democratic institutions in europe and the united states. sot coerns me is that president trump needs to be very clear of mr. putin. that we will not tolerate his interference in our government. to this date, president trump has yet to fully acknowledge mr. putin's involvement in the 2016 elections. >> and i also want to ask you about the president's tweet this morning. something i know you'll have a response to, this is about his immigration policy that he's enhanced under his administration. he says separating families at the border is the fault of bad legislation passed by the democrats, border security laws should be changed but the dems can't get their act together, started the wall. what do you think of that considering jeff sessions, his ag, emphasized using this policy to deter people from coming across the border and reporting that this is a practice that has become enhanced under this adminis

know simply that russia in the united states which is and that salute lou in relation to you could think that this is about mending relations or this could be about europe which is really at stake here the united states and europe and their relations have shields recently and that this could be this visit could be a message to the europeans saying that unless you start dancing to us things again we're going to be friends with with russia which would you know which would explain trump's highly and expected announcement about returning russia to the g. eight i would rather see russia in the g. eight as opposed to the g. seven i would say that the g. eight is a more meaningful group than the g seven whatever it is that trump and it is his administration of playing at it's it's working european press especially the british press which has really led the russian faction in europe while they're in they're ringing the alarm bell saying that this this is. may that this meeting itself is a highly dangerous thing and that you know we've europe has to be warry and replied to donald trump. with the with regards to this meeting with the russians but john holdren sho

united states. many took offense with me in the united states and europe.ut that is something i was warning people about. now it is flourishing. look at it. john: so here you are. [indiscernible] president putin: if we are attentive in our analysis of what is taking place and to respond on a timely basis, there would be fewer problems like that. we have been supporting everything that has been produced by the global community to convince the iranian counterparts to reach the well-known terms of agreements and you should commend them, they went through a lot of compromises, and they are very true to all of their commitments. very recently, i met with the head of the international atomic agency. a very reputable organization and a very respectful person who we all trust. yet ain, he told me that based on the data they have, iran completely stands up to all of the commitments that they took. what is it we should punish them for? i do not understand it. this is the first part. the second thing is what will happen if this whole deal is devastated? would it be be

investments that we can do in germany i think what the companies actually advocate for is also that europe states united and that europe is strong and i think that's a nother task that is on the table for our government ok so so more talks a dialogue is important from which i'm glad you look at it even in medicine general manager of the american chamber of commerce you jenny thank you so much thanks for having. now another day another high profile hack healthy crypto currency exchange this time the victim was south korea's some exchange direct to say a series of overnight breaches so hackers make off with thirty one million dollars worth of virtual currencies or ever they didn't say which coins were stolen the company behind the site has promised to compensate victims a bit some attack was just the latest in a series of digital sex raising critical question about cryptocurrency. just very briefly there's a big change within the dow after one hundred and eleven years industrial heavyweight general electric is no longer a component off the famous stock market index the company had fallen on hard times mos

secretary, as you know there is concern in europe about what they believe to be an assault by the united states or at least from the president's twitter on the international rules based order, you know that term that's been in effect for 70-odd years. should they be concerned? in other words, is the president's strategy to sort of erode this order in place of something else, or is it just rhetoric? >> well, what i'd say christiane, is that the president of the united states is committed to the transatlantic relationship, to the nato alliance, our nato treaty allies and our nato treaty commitment. the issues that you've referring to, trade and economic issues are one part of a much larger relationship between the united states and europe. as you know going back decades, the vietnam, the missile crisis in the '80s, we've had plenty of areas to disagree with our european friends and allies, but through it all we've been committed as nato allies and partners, committed to our transatlantic relationship, it's a bedrock of our national security and there's no variance from the united states on that c

to a school to do that most of these women, a lot of them have been educated abroad in the united states, europesewhere. they already have driver's licenses it's quite quick and easy to convert the licenses we're doing this not just to have the freedom of movement inside the country but to show our other saudi sisters this is something possible and this is something that they ought to be doing. it makes life easier and adds to their ability to be autonomous. >> i don't want to put you on the spot too much hadley, but is it more difficult to get a license as a woman than a man? is it easier to get a license or is it equal playing field? >> it's an equal playing field in the sense that both men and women do have to take their driver's test before they're able to get that license this is still a pretty segregated society even in spite of all of the movement we've seen with all of the reforms from the crown prince. these driving schools, women feel more comfortable learning from women drivers they had to bring in the women drivers and set up the schools from scratch i have to say when it comes to th

united states. obviously, europe wished that he would use his good relationship with president trump to get him to listen. on climate, he hasn't listened. on moving the embassy to jerusalem he hasn't listened, on the iran's nuclear deal. what is europe's defense? >> thank god america is so, so much taller, so much higher with such a bigger memory and so much brighter future than president trump. president trump will have his time and america will last. i suppose that president macron talked to america. when he spoke at congress, he spoke to america itself. look at the standing ovations he had. you have a president who is strengthening the link of life, the link of blood, of life, of hope between the two continents. you have an american president, provisional american president, like in democracy, it takes four years, who is trying to -- >> eight. >> maybe eight, okay. i will bet four. who is trying to break the link. >> and the norms, the global norms. >> the global norms, yes. but the link. america was built as a sort of rebeginning of europe. this is the spirit of america. the spirit of america, the fo

hasn't worked with north korea we've tried that decades with saying we should save the united states because europe has and certainly hasn't engaged much into that the united states has tried that for decades so maybe this unconventional approach helped and this is something where we should just simply agree that it happened and that it has it has its merits at this point in time to engage in a conversation because we were actually at the brink of a nuclear war we had the u.s. president definitely thinking about military options on the korean peninsula this is something that would cause millions and millions of deaths so this conversation how much theater and circus it may be it's a lot better than a war a dialogue potentially leading to a peace process or at least a deescalation of tensions that we've seen in the last six months boston i'm going to come to you young i was just talking about the legitimacy that the north korean regime has received simply by being at this summit with a sitting u.s. president but we know that pyongyang has one of the world's worst human rights records how much has th

for 150 years, canada has been the united states' most steadfast ally. aleem: europe is already talking about retaliation. >> in the next coming hours, counterbalancing measures, what they can do, we are able to do exactly the same. it is totally unacceptable that a country is imposing unilateral measures when it comes to trade. aleem: so how could europe hit back? some all-american industries could be hit, like this u.s. denim factory. there is talk of the eu imposing other tariffs on bourbon, motorcycles, and even peanut butter. the truth is a big reason donald trump has introduced these new tariffs is to satisfy his supporters. it may not have the impact on jobs he says it will, but it has risked a dangerous economic discussion with this country's biggest trade partners. jane: aleem maqbool reporting . a brief time ago, the new eu lassiter to the u.s., david o'sullivan, join my colleague katty kay. we consider the imposition of the tariffs wtogal under the video -- law. we think they are unjustified. our exports are not posing a problem to national security or the

united states, and you're a great example of it. >> now harley-davidson says some of its motorcycle production for europe is moving out of the unitedto europe to avoid retaliatory eu tariffs. harley-davidson is based in house speaker paul ryan's home state of wisconsin, and just a little while ago he sent out a tweet criticizing the president of the united states. ryan saying this, quote, this is further proof of the harm from unilateral tariffs. the best way to help american manufacturers is to open markets to them, not raise barriers to the market, closed quote. i want to show you how the market is doing. the dow jones down 368 points right now on growing fears of an escalating trade war between the united states, the european union, canada, mexico, china and several other countries. let's bring in richard quest. he's joining us now. he's at the new york stock exchange. richard, this seems like a pretty swift reaction to retaliatory tariffs. >> yes, because the european union very cleverly knew exactly where to hit the united states. going for harley-davidson. 20% tariffs, which means the average tariff on a single motorbike is o

europe. he truly traveled the world. asia, thessia, caribbean, mexico, the united states. including a visit to london. a meeting with the queen. why was that significant? >> it was a significant because the other countries of europe looked to queen victoria to see how she would receive him. thenteresting anecdote in work that was going on prior to his visit. they were discussing how should the queen receive him. should he be considered a private citizen? or a head of state. as counterpart said he's not head of state, he's private citizen. he says you treated napoleon this way, you should treat grant the same way. he says well once an emperor, always an emperor. once president of the united states, always president of the united states. that is the first time this had been articulated. the person who was president of the united states maintains that status. him,great britain received the rest of the world treated him as such, looking to queen victoria. >> what do we know about that meeting? >> they had a dinner. grant and his wife were there. the youngest son, jesse, was with them as well. he was not an

wants to move missile defenses in the system into europe presumably because of the withdrawal of the united states from the iran deal but iran is somehow a threat to europe this is this is very provocative behavior on the part of the us considering europe is staying with the deal with the iranians go ahead alex. and i think the point you make about and ballistic defenses and all the rest is that the united states has been driving now at least twenty years. and is going to continue doing so and is looking for every opportunity to do so primary country that there are directed against russia that is to me in refutable irrefutably true you know it's interesting because i don't see this security necessity mark but these systems are very expensive aren't they i mean someone's going to be cashing in on this or they're extremely expensive but i'm sure the trumpet ministration will try to get the draw. and government to foot the bill his constant complaint was you're going to say to the german government don't know you can't import cars or cars of the united states human events but you have to take our ass

and the united states is nothing more than the united states slapping sanctions on europe trying to get its way politically the audience not even economically. for one of the french governments ministers recently said that the u.s. shouldn't be allowed to become the economic policeman of the world and he spoke about it publicly the former german minister of finance publicly said that germany .

kind of welcome to worlds apart just a few years ago they knew of europe feeling and then the land about the united states and reopening for business with russia seemed like crazy talk in some corners it's still nice but if donald trump continues to spread to europe with tariffs and secondary sanctions can buy them a push and seize the moment while to discuss that i'm now i'm joined by a woman she said former chancellor of the australian and former president of the european council chancellor it's a great honor talking to thank you very much for your time and now you've heard my introduction and as far fashed as it may be i feel like there is that. a bit of a competition for europe's heart. you have any american administration treating europe with less subtlety in them europe is used to now you have russia which is quite plainly asks me in how do you see me here and will react so that. those who are on the american side don't see that really a competition for hearts this is more. to. fight to leave because they believe they have you already but this is maybe a little bit too it was a little bit stronger t

and the united states is nothing more than the united states slapping sanctions on europe trying to get its way politically the audience not even economically. you know as minister for one of the french governments ministers recently said that the us shouldn't be allowed to become the economic policeman of the world and he spoke about it publicly the former german minister of finance publicly said that germany hasn't been a fully sovereign state since one thousand nine hundred five because everybody can see what's going on but probably our partners thought it would never affect them that kind of politics is counterproductive the politics of limitations and sanctions of. blood were putin's message was that compromise is key compromise by everyone and with with everyone that people need to work together countries need to work together and sort out their differences with words rather than sanctions and restrictions and and military action there is also talk about the world cup live where putin hoping that the russian team which hasn't hasn't done very well in recent years tha

nature of it at least for the time being and, therefore, the need for this enemity with the united states and europe, is the united states then stuck in this relationship with the united states and russia? >> thank you for the question. i just want to address a couple of the premises. the way that i try to run the first couple chapters is by following the russian sources very respectfully and in particular following what mr. putin himself says very respectfully. so in the runup to the presidential election of 2012 and also in the runup to the december 2011 parliamentary elections in russia, mr. putin publishes a series of articles in which he lays out, essentially, what i'm telling you. he doesn't use exactly the same terms. he doesn't talk about the politics of eternity, for example. that's my general concept for the whole worldwide phenomenon. but he talks about how russia is a civilization state, and by civilization he means something which is defined by a past as he defines it. so russia and ukraine are a single entity because borders and law and things like that don't matter. what matters is th

united states and russia. and russia is trying to also come in between the united states and europe, trying to advise the europeandons you" but who has got the healthiest economy worldwide? it's not a great choice. it's what they call a hobson‘s choice. yeah, i know, and especially with the next topics we are talking about, which will reflect very much that europe is not only faced with a completely new era in relationship, trans—atlantic relationship, but also internally with brexit, with italy, with eastern european countries having a very, say, different policy towards brussels thinks in terms of domestic, judicial reforms and so on, so there is so many battlefields in europe domestically and internationally, it is a bit exhausting. if anyone is playing, it's sort of a game of multidimensional chess. well, let's stick with europe, because italy averted a constitutional crisis after five—star and the league, the populist parties who topped the poll in the country's general election, blinked first. they had wanted to appoint a finance minister who thinks italy should never have joined the euro in the first place

is a new ideas in try and use documents so it will take a long time for europe to get rid of this pressure from the united states by the whole europe will soon or way to liberate itself not by the european union itself but by some other form you know probably individually ten seconds mark yeah. we have a further stretch colombia if it is asked for the job or not is that we got about the right this is another expansion wow trump is preaching against nato and saying that europe isn't spent spending at all from nato the feds poland wants us military bases that in germany now colombia this is just foreign policy but always gentlemen we've run out of di many thanks to my guests in moscow and in london this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us for the expanded version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember cross talk rules. for man are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the owners did not shoot around a corner. we have the priv

europe. they are part of the macro economic and united states. you are a country that saves very little, consumes a lot, and trade deficit. i think you have to be able to distinguish the causes of a trade deficit, and in the cases of europe, we are one of the most open, low-tariff rules of law-based economies -- very open trading. there are few restrictions on american trade with europe, as there are few restrictions on european trade with the u.s.. i think the deficit needs to be looked at through its real causes. that is not a european export. one of the strategies that might happen as a result of all of this might be coming on luxury german cars -- a total ban on those. what is the impact should that take place? guest: the administration has launched another national security investigation into whether imports of autos and auto parts might be a threat to international security. we think it will be a hard case to prove. i think it will be a lively domestic discussion in the united states. many consumers, even the u.s. auto industry, will have st

united states and russia. and russia is also trying to come in between the united states and europe, trying to advise the europeane are here, if the us abandons you, but who has got the us abandons you, but who has got the healthiest economy worldwide? the us abandons you, but who has got the healthiest economy worldwide7m is not a great choice. especially with the next topics we are talking about which will reflect very much that europe is not only faced with a completely new era in relationship trans— atlantic region, relationship, but also internally with brexit, with italy, with eastern european countries having a very, say, a different policy towards brussels in terms of domestic reforms and so on so there is ofany domestic reforms and so on so there is of any battlefield in europe domestically and internationally, it isa domestically and internationally, it is a bit exhausting. if anyone is playing it, this is a game of multidimensional chess. sticking with europe, italy averted a crisis after 5—star and the league blinked first. they had wanted to appoint a finance minister who thinks italy should never ha

between politicians and large swathes of the public it's just same process all at all western europe united states and so on and so on the ruling elites is usually say last song doctor we saw quote we're going to be all of you know you want to get us all seen don't eat it but it's end by european institutions and these opens up the strays and i don't see any good organizations as far as slovenia is concerned of the height of the migrant crisis when hungary closed its borders many migrants made their way through slovenia but they were trying to get to france to germany and into britain they didn't stay in slovenia so what do people where you are really think of the migrant crisis they will go to the established. they're going to mostly intercepted the ball get into a box of crayons and don't spot that directly to australia and who are a little bit surprised incidentally how many of them when i asked would you like to stay here this is not.
