that this is described as a great step forward but that most big concern about the on washington moving closer china and russia have jointly proposed this freeze for freeze so the freezing of nuclear testing and the freeze of missile testing for the freeze of military maneuvers so this is this is basically the more that they got out of it that this is playing into russia's narrative for so long but russia is consent of being pushed to the sidelines too much in this conversation they have not been an active part but hey i was not going to moscow to bit deeper if them japan is a different case in this point a close ally of. united states peo is currently in seoul and you briefing also the japanese foreign minister while he's there to make that possible for the japanese the most important aspect was the apathy issue that was as drug donald trump said in the press conference not in it's not in the summit outcome document but it was discussed and he said that in the press conference which allowed to save face at home and say this has been it has been alluded to in the conversation but japan of course is

states has more potential targets for terrorists than china does but china could all start could also penalize and punish washington in other ways because there are so many big chinese companies here some of the big u.s. companies here in china and they are feeling very nervous right now and this is something that is not even in washington in general they're trying to ministrations specifically triggered this really without a lot of support from his own party there are many people in his own party that do not think that a trade war is wisely to contain and continues to spiral in spiral is there any type of compromise president trump seems to have his own way of negotiating for lack of a better term is there a way out of all of this. well you know take top goes the clock i mean the first of these tariffs is a jew to kick in on july the six that doesn't give a very much time that's what sixteen seventeen more days and at the moment there are no talks taking place between washington and beijing that we know of the negotiating process has stalled remember just a month ago the u.s. trade delegation that came here said t

they are drying up a list in washington. china would be unlikely simply because it imports $130 billion worth of goods every year. china may look at things like foreign investment, targeting corporate here, look at issues around licensing and doing checks on companies just to put hurdles in their place and ma business operations more difficult. it can do things like restrict the number of chinese tourists. the biggest dollars been nice. atse are a number of tools china's disposal. three rounds of talks increasing imports in the u.s. of course, they have been made null and void. china will be looking and has u.s.it will match the punch for punch, essentially, but does not want to accelerate and pour were few on the fire. if there is a determination from the u.s. to affect structural then this isna, going to be a long running and potentially painful dispute. if it is indeed more about reducing the deficit or the surplus that the chinese have with the u.s., then that is something that could see some kind of agreement. china has showe

far more potential terrorist targets than china does but it's quite possible that china could start punishing washington in other ways by focusing on big u.s. companies based here in china now at the moment president trump appears to be saying to the chinese government i want you to change the way that you can talk business with the united states that means possibly president cheating ping having to roll back his made in china twenty twenty five strategy this is one of his pet projects to move china up the value chain by focusing much more on high tech but china has absolutely no intention of doing that so given we have just seventeen days before the first of these tariffs are due to kick in it's fair to assume that the chances of a negotiated settlement now are very slim indeed because china has no intention of giving up on that china twenty twenty five strategy and let me quickly update you on this the french president i'm an american is in germany for talks with chancellor angela merkel these are the latest pictures that we've got from there len top of the agenda migration with first finance in germa
