there were no tariffs removed in his discussions with the european commission. there were few specific commitments. there was one on soybeans and there was no timetable. in fact mr. secretary, all that the president and the president of the european commission agreed on is to start talking. >> that's actually not the case but let me just step back for a second. these talks started with the president, the g-7, singlets have no tariffs, no barriers and no subsidies. those talks continued with the g-7 but i was at the g 20, i met with my counterparts. and then when we had the president of the eu, we specifically went through a detailed discussion. we had several hours of negotiating that in fourth on an outline of an agreement and now we have the hard work. the first step will be to resolve the steel and aluminum tariffs. when we do that, the retaliatory tariffs will come off. this was an agreement to reduce tariffs significantly across the board and we have about $1 trillion of trade. this is a very big opportunity to do things. >>chris: mr. secretary, let me give

my sense is that the european commission executive branch of the european union are not necessarily going to be making major concession is to the united states. i think this is not just about economics for, for the eu, for the european commission. this is about politics, this is about power. it is about the beg picture strategic vision for the eu and after all you're dealing here with unelected european union bureaucrats actually who, at the end of the day are not really accountable to european publics and i think you have a strongly anti-american mood actually in brussels right now, very strong anti-trump sentiment that is there. so i would be surprised to see some major concessions coming from the european union today actually. although there could be some superficial, minor concessions that are touted. adam: what do you think of that? we've just seen a big pop in the dow and s&p and nasdaq the last 45 minutes of trading. that may have been the wrong play if what nigel, nile just said is accurate how do you interpret the conflicting reports? and how do you get 26, 27 members of the of e

both from dominic raab, the new brexit secretary and from the european commission. your thoughts on this? it is concerning with only eight months to go of the brexit negotiations and the original plan to reach a deal by october. the real issueis to reach a deal by october. the real issue is there is an northern ireland border, trying to keep it open and the only way to keep it open and the only way to keep it open as it is today is for the uk to remain in the single market and the customs union to have no tariff on gods. others say we can keep the flow of people and goods virtually freely, but not be in the customs union, not be in the single market? i don't think there is any example of that anywhere else in the world. the eu has a different relationship with norway and turkey but they don't offer the kind of frictionless freeboard which exists today. on the possibility of there being a no deal, it wouldn't be just for trade, as we have seen from the government's own statistics, reverting to wto terms we will seek growth of less than 10% of what it ought to be on t
