that final traunch of bailout money for athens and finally she managed to get short of breath to acquiesce on dot front that said i mean we are seeing slow economic growth in the euro zone right now as predicted at 1.2 percent which is rather and the mic so she will have to try and you know get some consensus in terms of fiscal stimulus from euro zone governments but i think she will be in a good position to do so as a former french government minister and certainly we did see the markets rally yesterday both the german dax and from his care home when they heard the news about their appointment but in terms of how toolkits i do think we would see more of the same from draggy based on what you know we ve seen her say presiding over the i.m.f. before we re talking about bond buying program as for example the potential for negative interest rates we know germany doesn t like it but that could be well something that she does advocate for the guard was the 1st woman to run the wall for wher
we ll look. even blink if she s faced with this. it s certainly a nasty 1st day at work i think of course a lot depends on how the u.k. leaves the european union but as i ve mentioned she certainly weathered economic turmoil before now we re makani for example the current governor of the bank of england potentially take up her job at the international monetary fund she may find a very useful interlocutor there but for example she she said evokes very clever with regard to greece and debt relief there when it was very reluctant to release that final traunch of bailout money for athens and finally she managed to get to acquiesce on that front that said i mean we are seeing slow economic growth in the euro zone right now it s predicted at 1.2 percent which is rather and the mic so she will have to try and you know get some consensus in terms of fiscal stimulus
americans business. i guess i m wondering, do you feel like he s taking your family and american farmers and their families for granted in the process. he says he is, and that s fine, in farmers have to think long term. we have to think generationally. and for the president to authorize bailout money here and there, certainly that s appreciated, through the american taxpayer, and it s the taxpayer who s paying for that, not china. so we have to think longer term. you know, agriculture built these markets. we started in the mid- 80s. we looked to asia and said, this is a growing market. and we developed that market. and we went from about $400 million worth of trade in the mid- 90s, agriculture trade, to nearly $20 billion worth of agricultural trade in 2017. and that is gone. man, that is gone. and we ve got to start over. i know it s gone, i see it,
farmers like myself. so every time i hear him making another announcement about more tariffs and more bailout money, it means bad news for our farmers like myself. and you know, don, it takes a lot of effort to go out and make a crop, and basically what we re looking for is a fair price for our commodity. and the president took away a 90% market for american farmers, soybean farmers, and they didn t open up other trade doors. and that s something that his u.s. trade representative could have worked on. the agriculture secretary should have been working on making more open markets for farmers like myself. and i reached out to the president and asked him to meet about this. i reached out to the agriculture secretary and asked for a meeting and bloomberg asked him about my formal request to meet with them, the agriculture secretary.
trump administration, and it s retaliation from my strong positions against the tariffs, and the tariffs have really hurt the farmers like myself, and other small scale farmers and african american farmers who haven t received their subsidy payments from the government and the president has made a whole lot of promises but very few of those things have reached farmers like myself. so every time i hear him making another announcement about more tariffs and more bailout money, it means bad news for our farmers like myself. and you know, don, it takes a lot of effort to go out and make a crop, and basically what we re looking for is a fair price for our commodity. and the president took away a 90% market for american farmers, soybean farmers, and they didn t open up other trade doors. and that s something that his u.s. trade representative could have worked on.
