Does europe or could europe be left out of a trade deal with the u. S. And china or is mr mccall the french president has pointed out well certainly weve been lucky so far because the u. S. Has mostly focused on china and you know they have some good points i mean china hasnt been as open and should be opening faster so were benefiting from the pressure the u. S. Is putting on china but we have to also make sure to have International Solutions for which work for europe but you know if you think of automobiles having tariffs there would be a real problem and sometimes you know there we havent got enough support its important that we remain open and free trade and if you mention president might call the strategy off you put 10 ish has problems we need to be open to competition we need to be open to free trade and global agreements what can be done thank you very much youre welcome india has been trying but failing time and again to introduce a total ban on Single Use Plastics its time its running into unexpected resistance from the very people who are basically drowning in the bobbish.
