in many macron is hosting the italy, 20 put of a dispute on migration behind them. -- emmanuel macron. angela merkel faces a rebellion over immigration and her party. russia world cup host posts the tournament opener. uruguayt will be facing this holiday. alright, time now for a business update. i am joined in the studio by yuka royer. we will start with the tray tensions between the diseconomies as donald trump does plan to hit china with fresh tariffs. yuka: the u.s. president has the chinese goods with a 20 percent import duty. china's foreign ministry warns that they will take immediate action. beijing will retaliate in kind. will retaliate in kind. reporter: china's -- >> china's position is consistent. if the u.s. takes protectionist measures that harm china's interests, we will immediately respond and take necessary measures to defend our legitimate rights and interests. yuyuka: as trade tensions rise, china's tech giant -- the second-largest worker only -- only became public this week. have fallen twin percents. this is weighing on investor sentiment. european stocks are mixed

emmanuel macron realizes he will not have a german interlochen to deal with. she has to fire his -- her interior minister over this dispute within the conservative bloc in parliament. they are going to talk about eurozone reform. i think they are going to come up with bilateral, believable proposals for the other partners in the european union. angela merkel desperately need them. toanuel macron really wants work with the german can -- german chancellor. that ishe find a deal likely to satisfy her interior minister who is not overly happy? >> i did not think she is going to fix everything with the french president. they do agree on some things. they agree on the need to defend europe's exterior borders better. they need to have equipment. you need money to buy that equipment. you need assistance to exchange information. it is a complicated picture. even though italy is technically an anti-immigrant government, they want the borders patrolled better. it is an agreement between germany and italy on that issue. no, france and germany are not going to resolve this

obviously what these new solutions are that emmanuel macron is thinking of. if you look at the numbers, we had this eu-turkey agreement in 2016, which reduced the numbers to greece. we had another similar agreement between libya, italy, and the eu last year. italy still has the highest , with more than 15,000 arrivals since the beginning of this year. >> it is interesting, isn't it? hotre as you say, pass the high turf of the immigration numbers. could this issue derail the eu unity that chronic -- emmanuel macron hopes for? in terms of taking on the trump administration on trade? >> it does seem that this eu unity could be derailed. until now, it was mostly eastern european countries rejecting these arrivals of migrants. hungary, poland, czech republic, slovakia, who reject ed. -- rejected what the eu tried to put in place last year. this system of regulation failed. now you have the heart of italy rejecting this vessel. germany and the german chancellor, angela merkel, really under pressure within her own government and interior minister, who wants to close

france's emmanuel macron discusses the challenges of staying on the same page with u.s. president donald trump. president macron: there are things that tie us very closely to the united states and as far as the security is concerned, i enjoy these close relationships very much. but there are certain topics where we do not see eye to eye. ♪ announcer: welcome back to the 2018 st. petersburg international economic forum, where five of the world's most influential leaders came together for a panel moderated by bloomberg editor-in-chief john mickelthwait. the discussion turned to a sixth leader, u.s. president donald trump. john: you are trying to persuade donald trump to not junk the deal, you tried to persuade him not to quit the climate deal, not to start a trade war, not to move the embassy in israel to jerusalem. you tried to do all these things. you tried to softly, softly approach and it has not worked. do you now think you should argue with trump, mr. trump in a much harder way? president macron: i made an attempt, i tried. i continuously worked on that because tha

now emmanuel macron says he never meant to offend italy with his comments. the french president the country irresponsible and cynical over its decision to refuse save port to -- safe port to a rescue boat carrying migrants, but round amended an apology from paris. the ship in question, the aquarius, has since been rerouted to valencia, spain, with more than 600 migrants aboard. i have been speaking to our correspondent just a few mckenna, in -- josephine mckenna, in rome. josephine: a political row was spiraling out of control over the state of the ship. italy was offended by comments emmanuel macron madee regarding its failure to allow this ship to dock in italy. overnight, president macron ndlephoned giuseppe conte a appeared to have a cordial telephone commerce asian. the prime minister a short time ago released a statement to say that president macron said he had no intention of offending italy or italians, and had gone out of his way to defend italy and express solidarity and they need for greater solidarity among other european couountrie. it appears t

couple more points from the people around emmanuel macron. number one, they've said that european unity has been striking during this summit so far. that means it really is six plus one, one being the americans, the six being europe and canada. and a second item coming from those same people surrounding emmanuel macron, they say that the conditions are not there for russia to return to the g7. elizabeth: yeah. you know what's striking about this fight between macron, trudeau and trump, it's coming out in a twitter war. they're tweeting at each other. check of twitter's stock, it's up about 4% this morning.

we expect that president trump and emmanuel macron will have the formal sitdown, the formal bilateral meeting sometime this afternoon. liz: that's going to be interesting. you mentioned russia, this is a good time to remind people, before 2014 used to be the g8. russia pushed out after it seized the huge chunk of ukraine known as crimea. we want to give you history. crimean peninsula was part of ukraine for 60 years, so this is what's incredible. it really was all yellow. it was part of ukraine, but in march of 2014 while the world was focused on the winter olympics in sochi, russia, russia seized crimea from ukraine, fully integrating the peninsula by july 2015. the move caused international outrage and steep sanctions against russia followed and are for now still in place, but, of course, the conflict further escalated into deadly fighting between the ukrainian government and the separatist forces in the area of ukraine, and for now, we need to keep stressing, that would be like if mexico bites off a chunk of texas. you can't do that. so they were kicked out of the g8 and that's how

it brought this brusque tweet from emmanuel macron. such is the president's isolation that this should perhaps more properly be called the g6+1. donald trump seriously considered not coming at all. he feels that he gets lectured by the other foreign leaders on iran, on climate change and of course, on trade. and he's not a big fan of being lectured. but one area where he is doing the lecturing is on his surprise call today that russia should be readmitted to the group. whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run, and the g7, which used to be the g8, they threw russia out. they should let russia come back in, because we should have russia at the negotiating table. but france, britain and germany are saying no. the expulsion decision was made after russia annexed crimea. theresa may had more recent events in mind. we have seen malign activity from russia in a whole variety of ways. of course, including on the streets of salisbury in the united kingdom. so, we need to say, i think before a

that was tweeted out by the french president emmanuel macron. they are rather cozy with each other, sitting next to each other on the sidelines of this g7 summit, sort of the omg7 summit, mainly because of the comments. when he talked about bringing russia back into the g7, the uk minister said we remember why russia was kicked out of the g8 because of the invasion of crimea, the annexation of crimea and ukraine. there are other destabilizing acts from raussia, the meddling in the 2016 election and the uk prime minister focusing on the poisoning on british soil. this is why the president is somewhat an outcast at this g7 summits. there was supposed to be an official bilateral meeting with emmanuel macron this morning but because the president was late to the summit, that didn't happen. he's going to sit down with canadian privacy justin trudeau at about 5:00. but of course they've been going at each other over the last several days because of the issue of the u.s. slapping tariffs on canadian aluminum and steel. that erupted in a nasty phone cal
