The worlds 2 biggest economies have signed a deal to ease their trade war china has promised to increase u. S. Imports and strengthen intellectual property rules in exchange the u. S. Removes some tariffs on chinese goods but as mike hanna now reports its an initial agreement and most tariffs remain in place. It was a lovely white house ceremony crowded with have to members lawmakers and executives from large u. S. Corporations President Trump hailed the deal as remarkable. Today we take a momentous step one that has never been taken before with china toward a future of fair and reciprocal trade as we signed phase one of the historic trade deal between the United States and china. Together we are righting the wrongs of the past and delivering a future of Economic Justice and security for American Workers farmers and families sentiments echoed by chinas signatory to the deal dromi down war for. China and the United States with the larger picture in mind have taken a serious approach to our differences and work to manage them or appropriately reaching the phase one trade agreement that is good for china for the United States in the world. The reality though that this is just an initial deal and many problematic issues of u. S. China relationship remain an address i think that has moved the needle a little bit with with china and it has made some progress but at the same time i dont think that it achieves the fundamental structural changes that are going to need to happen for us. The u. S. Tech sector in particular to really feel comfortable the President Trumps political opponents insist hes been outsmarted by his chinese counterpart i greatly fear that president xi is laughing at us behind our backs for having given away so little at the expense of American Workers farmers and businesses the administration in order to get a deal at all costs before the 2020 alexion has thrown the American Worker and American Business overboard and theyre going to be the ones left to face the consequences and thats the smiles and celebrations the awareness that this is not an end to the trade war as it is at the stage merely a truth. I cannot aljazeera washington. Chinas Foreign Ministry has praised the progress and trade talks with the u. S. After wednesdays deal which really just wanted to eat a little to do it i can be signing this phase one trade deal benefits china and the us and the whole world but so is that we can entirely were cast a solution that can properly and effectively deal with the relevant issues through dialogue and consultation based on equality and Mutual Respect well done watching as an analyst at the economics and teligent unit she believes that china has given up more than the u. S. This looks to me a very big concession on chinas side and i genuinely dont see how china can fulfill its commitment of 200000000000. 00 more dollars a purchase from the us which without increasing its fiscal subsidies to domestic producers and manufacturers dramatically and if china along the way of those 2 years. Actually cannot fulfill some of the commitment and then were expecting to see a collapse of the 1st one deal and that the phase 2 in phase 3 will never happen it looks like for example agriculture in this 1st one it is more than twice the amount of the 27000. 00 level and in order to do that actually a lot of the domestic producers farmers will sell for a watch on china was certainly increase its government purchase prices and expand that program but overall that means direct competition with chinese farmers start a mostly small scale and in that area china is not competitive and another thing thats funny to me is that by signing to steel actually china has to commit to buy more agriculture goes from the u. S. And that means buy a lot less from other countries for example canada and the e. U. And by signing this studio in fact between china and the u. S. It is china it is the u. S.

Areas we have around 5000 tons and then the next days have been lower around 1600 but yesterday its up again to 4600 so you dont expect really to have constant. But then its very important for us and each and every day how we devalue sproat progress and theres been some criticism of philippines vulcanologist that they werent able to predict the scale of this eruption especially as activity was detected many involves ago but then this volcano just goes to prove that even with all of their expertise and active volcanoes such as this one is still notoriously unpredictable.
