Six thousand jobs. This is business a. Welcome the trumpet ministration has today raised duties on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports from ten to twenty five percent will retaliate meanwhile trade delegations of both countries are in talks in washington that are being described as tense. The chance of a breakdown of the talks significantly increased now will bring in our correspondent in washington for the latest and have a look at how markets are taking its but first this report for. It would prove to be an uphill climb for the chinese negotiators as talks resumed in washington just hours before new u. S. Tariffs went into effect chinas vice premier rejected the u. S. Is rationale for the new duties its accusations that beijing had reneged on several points of agreement. Ive come here in good faith i want a reasonable and a Frank Exchange of opinion with the u. S. Side china believes in further tariffs is not a good way to solve our problems so its not good for china nor is it good for the us nor does it help the world. Few expected a breakthrough in thursdays talks and donald trump was keen to point out the Positive Side to state import tariffs. I happen to think that tariffs for a country. A very powerful you know with a piggy bank that everybody steals from including china weve been paid china Five Hundred Billion Dollars a year for many many years china rebuilt their country because of us this is gearing up for what could be a bruising Trade Conflict china showed that it has resources at its disposal Officials Say its spelt and Road Initiative can help offset the results of a trade war with the u. S. And theyre pointing to strong growth in the service sector. Where. Chinas high
end Service Exports are growing and competitiveness is gradually improving. With thursdays talks on able to stop the u. S. Tariffs china isnt revealing what steps it will take next. So lets see how things in the markets and also in the negotiations on im joined by Michael Jackson from c. M. C. Markets in london and our correspondent ali was its whos Standing By In Washington and start with you all about what are you hearing how the negotiations going. Its pretty silent right now but we know that the u. S. President was briefed last night by his negotiators and that both sides eventually agreed on carrying on with the negotiations its a good sign if you will because they apparently believe that is that an agreement can still be reached now whos been very loudly and outspoken was the president himself on twitter this morning and he continues li stresses that the tariffs that were raised last night those will be only be paid for by the chinese side but
economists in turn have been challenging that and they say that in the end of the day and eventually american businesses and the consumers will pay these terrorists in the United States as certain goods will become more expensive that are imported from china to the u. S. And those are predominantly Consumer Electronics among other products goods that are not affected though are every every goods. Currently on route to the United States so say on a Container Ship traveling to the u. S. Those those goods are not affected yet and that means there is still some time left to find an agreement Michael Markets across the board investors seem not overly concerned about the fresh type of supplies that. Here but i think it goes to your correspondents last polling i think there is still a very small window where these tariffs can be avoided so for example if a Container Ship leaves the chinese pool to die it could well arrive in two weeks
time which means by the time the rise of the u. S. Those terrorists may well have been avoided i think at the moment inverses are looking on the bright side but you say the markets is slightly out there still down quite heavily on the week so were not Out Of The Woods yet. What the main sticking points im hearing of the chinese side is reluctant to publicizing all details of a possible deal whys that. Well yeah thats right reportedly in the run of the negotiations there have been clashes within the Communist Party in china there between hardliners and reformers and that led to a very late decision all the chinese president xi jinping to walk back certain parts of the agreement that were made in the beginning when quick progress was made and the key sticking points here are the question of Intellectual Property how that is tackle and also some certain restraints for american businesses in the United States so there were clashes then eventually of how much of the final agreement
would be made public and essentially the chinese are trying to publicly admit that Intellectual Property laws are flawed because it would also mean to admit that they have been wrong for quite some time. Tension have been weighing on markets for a while now what will happen if the talks break down this week and. This brings that brings a lot of the prospects of further twenty five percent tariffs on another Three Hundred Twenty Five Billion Dollars the chinese goods thats going to be negative for the Stock Markets particularly on Companies Like apple and. Intel chip makers who do an awful lot of business in china is going to drive up costs these companies margins and essentially i think why own Stock Markets pretty much across the board the u. S. Stock markets in particular whose whose whose royce i think has been running ahead of european markets in general Michael Hughes in london and all of us all it in
washington thank you both very much thank you. The planned merger of german steel Giants Tizen Cult and indian competitor tata has fallen through to cope has withdrawn from the deal because it expects the European Commission to block its blockade over Competition Concerns as a results just said it will be cutting six thousand jobs worldwide plan was to merge to support steel unit with tottenham to create europes second largest senior producer off to oslo mittal the agreement was a fifty Fifty Joint Venture producing annual synergies of up to six hundred Million Euros for both companies to open tata said they had expected to have generated proforma sales of Fifteen Billion euros. Lets go to our frank financial correspondent in frankfurt comment that if that deal falls through appears to have fallen through what does that mean for doesnt cope on tata do they have to look elsewhere for someone to marry. You know if it
were so easy it would be great the problem is that there is no one really out there to be married the steel business is a business with extremely high over capacities steel prices have slumped significantly and you know if you are a steel make europe this means that unions are very strong and regulation is very high the consequence and the alternative for to some croup now is that it would have to shrink this business and this is what it has announced also job cuts up to six thousand people six thousand jobs would have to go and investors perversely usually love.
