And World Business report. Taking aim at bmw, the President Elect threatens the german carmaker with huge tariffs, as he reveals more about his plans for the worlds biggest economy. And we take you to Silicon Valley, to find out what the worlds biggest players in technology are doing to get ready for the trump presidency. We will also have more on that story just mentioned, an Arrest Warrant issued for the de facto boss of samsung. The us President Elect, donald trump, says he will offer britain what he calls a quick and fair trade deal within weeks of taking office. His comments come just days before a speech by the uk Prime Minister, theresa may, where she is expected to reveal further details of the countrys strategy as it prepares to leave the european union. Speaking to the times newspaper, mr trump said his team would work very hard to get it done quickly and properly, and it would be good for both sides. Mr trump went on to say the uk had made the right decision in leaving the european union, and that further countries were likely to follow in britains footsteps. Meanwhile, in a separate interview with the german newspaper bild, the us President Elect threatened bmw with a 35 border tax for cars manufactured in mexico. Last week the german carmaker said it was committed to its plans to open up its new factory in san luis potosi, despite mr trumps persistent warnings. Dr brian klaas is a fellow in comparative politics at the London School of economics. Good morning. Good morning. There is so good morning. Good morning. There is so much to talk about. He had a lot to say in that interview. Lets start with the tariffs on bmw, to begin with. What do you think bmw is thinking about that, and is it likely to happen . There are two backsides to the story. One is whether it will happen. I think Senate Republicans will put up barriers, when many of them believe in free trade. The second aspect to the story is how this will play for us manufacturers. America is a Global Player in the economy as well so Global Player in the economy as well so is there going to be a retaliation from other countries if trump tries to pursue this policy of punishing individual car makers for their decisions to allocate their resources as they best see fit. Their decisions to allocate their resources as they best see fitm is interesting, because we saw ford and Fiat Chrysler say they would perhaps put on the backburner their plans to move to mexico. It is interesting how businesses worldwide are having to react to this President Elect. His tweets, his comments, his interview last night. It is, in the words of the president really matter and send clear signals but one thing that is troubling is that trump and signalling very clearly that he will choose winners and losers in the economy. That is not good for the economy because you have uncertainty, rather than waiting for that last tweet to determine where to invest. Interesting to see what he had to say about brexit, about the us, Uk Trade Relationship and michael gove being part of the interviewed him, as it were. Which is interesting. Give us your take on that. He seems to say that it will happen quickly and smoothly but in reality that is often not the case. I think the us uk trade deal would certainly be good for britain but we have to put it in context. First up, written and the us are not the largest trading partners. Written has most of its trade going to europe and 10 or 15 going to the United States so this will not be a huge game changer for the United States. But it is still good news. However, how quickly can get done . Most trade deals in the past have taken between four and eight years to actually ratify and put effect. Nafta took four years, the dpp took eight years. The idea that there would be some quick policy change is unlikely tpp theresa may doing a speech on brexit this week, and the markets reacting. But on china, trump called it not free trade but there are or smart trade. Give us your take on these comments. I think trump and signalling he wants to drastically shift trade policy but trump doesnt get to do this alone. So trump is to find Common Ground with establishment figures both in the republican and Democratic Party but particularly the Republican Party and many of them are the most hawkish on free trade, particularly in the senate. So the idea that trump will come in and Change Trade Policy alone is not true. I think the us presidency often gets blamed too much for the economy and gets too much for the economy and gets too much for the economy and gets too much credit for the economy. It doesnt exist out of trumps hands and it is something where he will have an influence on it, but he is not going to dictate it. Thank you for your time, lots more on that story on our website. Staying with the us and donald trump, and we assess how the vast Us Technology industry is preparing for the new president. It forms a huge part of the us economy, accounting forjust over 7 of the value of goods and services produced there in 2016. Our Technology Correspondent Rory Cellan Jones has been to San Francisco to find out what the tech sector thinks of mr trumps policies. San francisco, in effect the capital of Silicon Valley and the epicentre of Silicon Valley and the epicentre of the technology industry. Looming over everything right now is the prospect of a president the majority of californians did not vote for. One tech firm, the memory of his election still hurts. It felt like someone died in the family. It felt like 9 11. Everyone was in shock. We are kind of in a bubble in the tech industry. We thought hillary was for sure going to win and the next day trump wins, and you have to wonder, what is the rest of america like . This companys owner, michael birch, arrived here from the uk but is now an american citizen and trying to be positive. One thing that Silicon Valley certainly is is very innovative, so in the face of what is happening with trump, i think we will innovate around it and find a way to go forward. During his campaign, donald trump was exactly friendly to the tech business. What i think you want to do is boycott apple. And his positions on immigration and trade caused concern in this globalised industry. But there is an upside. Like a number of tech giants, apple has one good reason to be optimistic about donald trump. He could offer them a deal to bring billions of dollars of cash held overseas home at a favourable tax rate. But the price of that could be increasing pressure to build the iphone in the United States rather than china. If he can maintain the cost for the consumer, sure. But i dont think thats possible. I think it will be great. The more the merrier, for being in america, being made in america, yes. Whatever their reservations about him, the bosses of apple and cluster of other tech giants had profitable meeting with him. Americas most dominant Technology Journalist says they should be far more robust. |j think they have to be outspoken in ways they have not been comfortable being outspoken before, on issues of privacy, immigration, encryption. All kinds of things that have been very important to their employees. These are the most powerful people on the planet, and the richest as well. So they have nothing to fear by expressing themselves. At the tech industrys big hope is that the new president will come to see that it is going to underpin americas future prosperity, and let it get on with thejob.
