LIZ: AS WE WAIT ON THE PRESIDENT
IN GRANITE CITY: NOISE WE TWO
BATTLE ROYALE THAT SEEMS
THAN FIRST ANTICIPATED.
SMART PHONE AND AN XP
AND MAKING THE TWO TECH
DISPUTE BETWEEN US AND
CHINA.
CEO STEVE MARKOFF SAYING
TRADE FOR.
SAID THIS WON'T STOP THE
APPETITE FOR NEW
ACQUISITIONS.
THEY ARE STILL FORGING
AHEAD, SO WHILE THEY
RUBIO IS PEER IS
IMMEDIATELY RENEWING
CALLS TO SANCTION
CHINESE TELECOM GIANT
EXPRESSING VIA TWITTER
LONG-TERM CHINA IS A
BIGGER THREAT TO
AMERICA'S SECURITY THAN
RUSSIA ADDING WHEN WILL
WE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
JAMES ROBERTS SERVED 25
YEARS IN THE US STATE
DEPARTMENT AND IS ONE OF
THE HERITAGE
FOUNDATION'S LEAD
EXPERTS.
US TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
CAME OUT SWINGING TODAY
SAYING CHINA IS NO
LONGER-- IS A
LONGER-TERM PROBLEM THAN
ANY OTHER TRADE BATTLE
WE FACE.
HOW WILL THESE LATEST
DEVELOPMENTS AFFECT THE
CURRENT TRADE WAR WITH
CHINA CRACKS ARE THEY
WORSE NOW?
>> I THINK WE HAVE SET
EUROPEAN UNION UNION
WHICH IS RECOGNITION BY
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
THAT TRADE IS MUTUALLY
BENEFICIAL AND WE ARE
GLAD TO SEE THE
AGREEMENT TO RESTART
TALKS HEADING TOWARDS
ZERO TARIFFS.
THE NON- AUTO SECTOR IS
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS
THEY START WITH WITH
ZERO TARIFFS AND IF YOU
REMEMBER YESTERDAY WITH
THE NEWS CONFERENCE WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
JUNCKER, PRESIDENT TRUMP
RAN DOWN A LIST OF
UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES
ALL IN DEBT CHINA
APPEARED THEY DID NOT
NAME CHINA.
IT'S INTERESTING THE TWO
ITEMS, THE TWO PRODUCTS
THE TWO SIDES ANNOUNCED
YESTERDAY BOTH HAVE
THAT RUSSIA AND THE
SOYBEANS DIRECTLY IN
DEBT CHINA WHICH HAS
GONE AFTER OUR SOYBEAN
PRODUCERS CAUSING THE
PRESIDENT TO SAY WE
SHOULD SPEND EVEN MORE
LIZ: I'M JUST WONDERING, IF THE
POINTS AND IT WASN'T THE WHOLE
POINT, BUT THE POINT OF HAVING A
BREAKTHROUGH WITH THE EUROPEAN
UNION WAS IN PART JUST TO SHOW
CHINA WE HAVE GOT EUROPEAN UNION
COUNTRIES TO KIND OF A BAND
HERE, THE CHINESE CAME OUT IN
THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS AND
SAID WE WILL MATCH ANY AND ALL
TERRORISTS THAT THE US SLAPS ON
AS.
IS THAT JUST WHISTLING
PAST THE GRAVEYARD BY
THE CHINESE OR DO THEY
MEAN IT?
>> THEY COULD BE TALKING
TOUGH.
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS
WHAT'S GOING ON IN CHINA
BECAUSE IT'S SO
NONTRANSPARENT AND NO
ONE REALLY KNOWS THE
A LOT WEAKER THAN THEY
THINK AND I THINK IF THE
US TAKES THE SAME
POSITIVE ATTITUDE TO
JAPAN AND KOREA, WHICH
WAS PART OF THE
TRANSPACIFIC PARTNERSHIP
, IF-- YOU
KNOW THAT WOULD FURTHER
ISOLATE CHINA AND WE
COULD ALSO ADAPTED
AGREEMENT AND TODAY IF
WE COULD GET A NEW NASA
AGREEMENT THAT HAS AN
ENERGY CHAPTER AND
SETTLE DISPUTE
MECHANISMS, THOSE WOULD
BE GOOD THINGS AND SEND
SIGNALS TO CHINA THAT
THE US IS MENDING ITS
OFFENSES AND MAYBE WE AT
HERITAGE THOUGHT THIS
WAS AN ELK THOUGHT OUT
TRADE WAR TO BEGIN WITH.
WE WERE A COUPLE YEARS
AGO WITH THE EUROPEANS,
BUT NEVERTHELESS WE ARE
BACK THERE.
THE NEW PRESIDENT OF
MEXICO PUSHES AN
AGREEMENT ON NAFTA 2.0
GET THE MESSAGE.
LIZ: MAY BE.
WE ASKED OUR VIEWERS THE
OTHER DAY, WHICH IS MORE
DANGEROUS TO US NATIONAL
SECURITY IN
MERCEDES-BENZ OR CTE,
THE CHINESE PHONE
COMPANY AND MAYBE ONE OF
THEIR PHONES AND SENATOR
RUBIO CAN BASICALLY SAY
I TOLD YOU SO.
LAST FRIDAY HE RIPPED
THE DECISION BY THE US
TO LIFT THE BAN ON US
SUPPLIERS SELLING
OUT OF VISIT-- BUSINESS
AS THEY VIOLATED TRADE.
DID THE US REALLY THINK
BY LIFTING THE SANCTIONS
ON ZTE LAST WEEK BECAUSE
THE CHINESE WIND AND
CRIED THAT THERE MAY BE
SOME UNDERSTANDING THAT
THEY PLAY NICE WITH US
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T YOU
COULD BE THAT AN XP DEAL
WHEN IT COMES TO OUR
YOU KNOW WHAT OUR
INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES
ARE TELLING OUR
GOVERNMENT LEADERS
THAT'S RULING A
DIFFERENT CATEGORY AND
WE HAVE TO PURSUE THAT
AS A COUNTRY TO PROTECT
OURSELVES.
NEVERTHELESS, WITH THESE
OTHER TRADE TARIFFS THAT
HAVE BEEN IMPOSED I
THINK IT'S TIME TO
HAS DONE AND THEY HAVE
HEARD A LOT A PUSHBACK
FROM MANY PARTS OF THE
AMERICAN ECONOMY THAT
HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY
THESE TARIFFS THAT WE
HAVE TO RETHINK THIS, GO
BACK TO OUR TRADING
PARTNERS AND ALLIES AND
