yet u.s. diplomats, u.s. leaders in their talking points about their conferences they repeatedly state that the u.s. is with aware of the devastating impact of nuclear weapons. the u.s. knows that nuclear weapons have these effects. just because the u.s. knows it does not mean the other nations know as well. because this is such an important issue in international security, it serves the mpt commune and the international diplomatic community if more of its participants are well versed in these issues. that's one. sec, the nuclear weapon states could explicitly acknowledge other states deserve a place at the table when it comes to discussing nuclear weapons. we know that the non-nuclear weapon states are not going to have the same responsibility for negotiating reductions or early verification efforts but they do deserve to be prnts when it comes to discussing the role of nuclear weapons in the world. we know non-nuclear weapon states have been affected by nuclear weapons. citizens there can tell you they have

the u.s. economy can hardly replace the chinese goods so it's not like these goods will be produced in the united states what's going to happen probably is that prices of the chinese goods will increase maybe the chinese currency will devalue a little about in the end it could very well be that the u.s. is the loser or the u.s. consumer is the biggest loser in this thing so it's not clear that this will hit the chinese more than the u.s. now winter giants like washington and beijing fight with each other where does that to dispute leafier up. well europe has no interest in global protectionism increasing on the other hand there are opportunities for european companies now and there are opportunities for europe to get to stay out of this route so it could be that on the one hand the chinese will make concessions to the europeans to intensify trade with europe and it could also be that some european companies those competing with chinese companies in the u.s. markets. may increase their market s

mark: if you look at u.s. rates compared to other developed rates, the fed is raising short rates and we do not see a breakout in the inflation. that is causing the yield curve to flatten. with rates at zero in japan and close to zero in europe, money looking for higher returns and coming to the u.s. with a strong dollar, that is acting as an additional catalyst. vonnie: what do you do at pimco with u.s. treasury? it does not seem there is image bargaining at this point. mark: we have been underweight and the last year and now moving towards neutral. you have the 10 year at 3%. we think the u.s. economy growth rate near 3% will slow a half percent next year. we think we are approaching a bite super bowl -- signal for short to intermediate. julie: do think the trade back-and-forth is also going to limits andm it -- limit the fed? mark: it could. we think the u.s.-china trade talks is the biggest thing for downturn in the u.s. economy. there is upside risk for capital spending. it is a two-way risk. if this trad

., as the u.s. is the strongest party. much more to the u.s. than the other way around. once something is hammered out, you can bet that canadians and mexicans are going to try, not to restore, but to create as good of positions as they can manage, with the new rules that may be a bit less official than previous ones. they focus on these five elements which usually have less visibility than newswires, newspapers, whatever. i think that extra ammunition is keeping in use. on the minimum wage, you are absolutely right. monica also mentioned this at the beginning of this session. this is a first. therefore there are no pressures to understand how these things work. in the absence of an enforcing mechanism, what the people have been talking about is an agreement that would create conditions where canadian, americans and mexicans would stay to monitor the wage situation in mexico. the mexican government, even if they commit to it, after-the- fact, they might very well turn to the public and say this is u

that is overtly what the u.s. moment.at the maybe not everyone is willing to connect the dots, but china can see what the u.s. is trying to do. so it is inflationary in the short-term, the question is how much in countries outside the u.s.. it is deflationary in china. . than of course, the issue becomes a point to what we were just hearing about the renminbi. if that happens, china is forced to do value currency or let the currency appreciate naturally, does that offset some of the inflationary impulses you get from supply chains being on do to other countries other than china? it is very complex and nobody really knows how it will play out. there are too many moving parts. haidi: it is interesting, when we spoke to the x pboc governor in the last few days, he said there are two top priorities. one is to avoid an asset double thetwo is to avoid using currency as a weapon in the trade war. is it really clear that those are the priorities? because you could argue that the top of the sea priority is maintaining grow

i think the u.s. negotiators the u.s. can threaten auto tariffs against canada, that they make it their way. really those tariffs will be so ruinous to the canadian economy, probably pushing canada into a recession that it is a last-minute thing the u.s. can hold out. president trump has talked about this. he talked about it being the mother load. that's come in the end, is probably what will push canada to get a deal done, hopefully tonight. haidi: -- kathleen: on sunday, the wto, and world bank, issued an emergency call for international trade reform. in. will all be meetings the wto having a big meeting and then imf world bank and a couple weeks. is that what is behind this unusual joint call from all three of these bodies that once? ros: you know, i think a lot of it is about president trump. but it is not all about president trump. we have definitely had the u.s. -- or president trump, saying, more than once, including in a bloomberg interview that he is prepared to pull out of the wto. and basically the trump admini

one, because the u.s. president has played bad cop along with his trade negotiator and the second thing that's unusual is this is the first time we've had a negotiation this intense with social media. i often think about one of our problems in u.s. politics now being the web m.d. moment we're in which is everyone has a lot of information when web m.d. came out, people would go to their doctor and say i've read all the symptoms, i think it's this. the doctor would say let me explain it to you. that relationship between the establishment specialists and the people is one that is being changed in trade policy. people have their own opinions about what an agreement is. the negotiator is playing bad cop and the vigorous debate about what all these provisions mean i think makes it very hard to negotiate, period. even irrespective of how we behave. and there is the congressional component, which i agree you are right to focus on. the trade promotion authority bill of which is what we're 2015, operating under, was

the u.s. administration is asking for and what the palestinians see as being fit misc can the palestinian leadership have said that the us administration is actually using humanitarian aid as blackmail and that it's not going to force them to the negotiating table if we look at this case how do you see the u.s. cutting funding to agencies that are in charge of looking after palestinian refugees and the response to it i think there's a big difference we would we were talking about military of bitters coalition support fund which is more military aid for military to carry on it operations i think comparing it to humanitarian aid it's an absolutely different thing humanitarian aid goes to people to sustain themselves who have been you know where who live livelihood shelter food nutrition water all that access is denied to basically a matter of life and debt so what i'm not saying that they're the same what i think that we are doing and we can validate as hourly we're talking about the u.s. you kn
