we want the world trade organization to resolve these things the world trade organization, you know, it's fitful. in terms of multilateral oversight, we have regional -- 300 new regional trade agramts that undercut the world trait associati trade association and a lot of dispute how the appeals process work there's the u.s. won 95% of the complaints that we brought to the world trade organization and that's what supporters say about the world trade organization also lost 89% of the complaints against us and president trump, this administration says, we don't like who the judges are. right now there's one american who is stepping down i believe in november. one indian stepping down in november and the only third member is a chinese person by november, who will remain, u.s. says we're going to block future nominees. there won't be a functioning world trade organization to appeal to. rime not sure what these trade organizations, trade associations, think will be the alternative to the tariffs they don't like and yet the ceos are really unhappy with unfair trade practices. from the "new

they do not adhere to the rules of the world trade organization. they violated every agreement they signed on to. >> let me ask you this. >> the market doesn't agree with you curtis. >> do you think the president should be having a fight publicly like this on twitter attacking the president of china just raising the stakes here, for example, the market wasn't open it's 5:09 but if it were i could only imagine how it would have reacted to this today or should these be conversations that are, you know, had behind the scenes, between the leaders, between the two negotiating groups. >> well we've seen these negotiations been going on for months, and then when it's close to an agreement, china pulls back, and then backtracks on all of the progress that was made. this is typical business for china. spoken with many people who have made many deals in china, and they get everybody excited about ready to sign on the bottom line , and then they renig so everybody is so invested in a deal they say okay we'll make a deal anyway, so this is the way they do busi

if you're in the world trade organization, how do you justify manipulating your currency? china came back and denied oh, we're not doing that, we're not doing that. well, they can't do that because they would be in a clear violation of the world trade organization rules. and if they do that, there might be a lot of pressure to squeeze them out of there. it will be very interesting. this will end up, i think, hurting them more than it hurts us. it's like shooting yourself in the foot. liz: yeah. well, both are waiting at the moment. we shall see. i don't know. we should also mention retailers are taking a significant hit. macy's is hitting a new annual low, down more than 3% at the moment to $20.62. check out best buy, down 3.75%, at $65.94. kohl's, down about -- that's not -- it's interesting because kohl's down 2%. these are all names that do import a lot of chinese-made goods. flip it to foot locker. this is really a kick in the gut to a company that has two things going against it, retail and they are a shoe retailer. shoes have always been exposed in a more dramatic fa

they have to go through customs checks if they're on a world trade organization basis. that could mean fresh food being on a shortage. medicines having a hard time getting there. passengers coming in at airports and train stations. they're going to have a hard time. fuel could become less available. there could be the hard border with the u.k. and that's very important for the politics and tensions there. the sunday "times" said this was put together just this month. the government is saying that it's old. michael gove is the secretary in charge of no deal preparations. a lot of this has happened in the last three weeks. a lot of people saying this is a three-week old document. this was a worst deal scenario. boris johnson is going to berlin to speak to leaders there to convince them that the e.u. should change the version of the deal to get at something that the u.k. would agree to, so there wouldn't be a no deal scenario. boris johnson predicated his prime ministerial career that they will leave the e.u. >> thanks, hadas gold. >>> a search for two firefighters missing

and then they took advantage of the rules of the world trade organization. and i am being nice when i say took advantage. much more than took advantage. they went up like a rocket ship. they were flatlined for 100 years. , wto, a one day terrible move. and we were losing all our cases until i came along. we were losing all our cases with the world trade organization. almost every case was lost. the thought we were stupid. they were the ones ruling. and then i came along, now we are winning. they know they are not on very solid ground. we will leave if we have to. and all of a sudden, we are winning most of our cases. and it is only because of attitude. because we know that they have been screwing us for years, and it's not going to happen any longer. they get it. they get it. so they're are giving us victories. they are giving us victories. ad i would like to use different word, but there is no word that is quite as descriptive. i would like to, but that is exactly what they were doing. they were taking advantage of us for years and years, and now they under

the uk would follow world trade organization rules to trade with the eu and other countries while trying to negotiate free—trade deals. so, while the uk says it wants both sides to seal a new deal — why is the eu not so keen? here's our brussels reporter adam fleming. here's what the eu thinks about the idea of the uk leaving without a deal on october the 31st. the eu ‘s view is that no deal will hurt you more than it will hurt us. they point to plenty of studies to back that up. take one published the summer back that up. take one published the summer bya back that up. take one published the summer by a university in belgium which found the eu would lose 1.2 millionjobs in the uk which found the eu would lose 1.2 million jobs in the uk about which found the eu would lose 1.2 millionjobs in the uk about half which found the eu would lose 1.2 million jobs in the uk about half a million. another eu number is bigger but the eu is bigger, so as a percentage, it's actually smaller. the uk is also pledging to eliminate most of the import taxes on goods coming into the uk. known as tariff

trade organization. the united states is committed to securing fair and reciprocal terms in our trade practices and that will require china to be more transparent. it is on that point that the president has particularly confronted china. he is doing it on the basis of an insight that no one would dispute, that ultimately national, political, and military power and its projection around the world rests on a strong economy. when one country is abusing the rules of the international trading system for its own advantage, and particularly taking advantage of the united states, that must stop. you see through the use of tariffs that the administration is willing to use all available tools to help level the playing field. the trade negotiations that followed the imposition of tariffs have concentrated on what we call structural issues. massive, persistent theft of american intellectual property, forced technology transfer, and discrimination against american businesses and investors. all of these complaints abo

they steal our technology, they don't open up our markets, they don't comply with world trade organization. by the way, your federal government is paying people to go over there and teach english. we're spending $4 million teaching people english in china. our money. last year, the general accounting office said at the federal level we wasted $150 billion in improper payments and didn't fix it. we have 20 federal organizations that do housing programs. we are wasting money and wasting money up here and expecting you to pay for it. here's the deal. we're collecting about $3 trillion a year in taxes. every year we're spending $4 trillion. how long could you do that as an individual? how long could a business do that? not for long. but we're doing it every year. we have $22 trillion worth of debt. $22 trillion. somebody has to pay for that. think about that. we're collecting over $3 trillion in taxes. we're spending over $400 million in interest expense which ads no value. there's no services, we're not building our military, nothing. by 2028, that's going to be $900 billion a year. if we don

president trump also wants the g-7 leaders to support the rule go everring the world trade organization saying china has gamed the system taking advantage of everyone. reporter: there seems to be agreement in europe from all the ceo's i talked to that china doesn't play by the rules. we invited them into the wt to because we thought engage many would mean they would create a better rule of law for democracy in china. it was a mistake to put china into the wto. they have not moved toward greater reforms and that's one of the issues they will discuss. reporter: the president landed and macron said how about joining me for lunch. the president saying his relationship with macron remains strong despite recent tensions despite digital services taxes. the president said he may retaliate by putting tariffs on french wines. but they are still friends. >> we have a lot in common. every once in a while we go eight, but not have much. but we get along well. i think i can say we have a special relationship. reporter: a couple times in the past week the president said he would support and probably b

and in to world trade organization. >> many of my colleagues do not want a trade deal with china, they don't believe china can be trusted. lou: hell, if -- if your business, who thinks that china should be trusted is a moron. >> if china does not abide by the 97 agreement and uses violence to put down the people of hong kong, there will be global implications, we have to make that clear to president xi . lou: that is what i say, i think that president has done so in a straight forward stroke, that i think is correct. and i think that the chinese if they are half as bright as they want to be regarded, they certainly understand this will be a reaction that will be replicated throughout europe, and throughout the west. >> the president has given this message to president xi, without criticizing him. he is giving him a face-saving way out, but i think privately the message has been tougher. lou: all right, the message is clear, that much is 7, fred, great to see you, thank you. >> thank you, good to be here. lou: we like to hear your thoughts, share your comments, follow me -- twitter @lou

renegotiating the rules of the world trade organization which has not been up to the task to keep keep china from doing that and i think this is a good good message for for. trump as well i don't really believe the trump is crazy about visiting housen rouhani as long as you iran has not moved quite a bit and has not made concessions not only in the nuclear field where it actually sticks to the agreement most of the time. it has only extended in a very gradual way it's the enrichment but also in terms of ballistic missiles in terms of withdrawal from the conflict. where it supports shia groups in the region and that is something very difficult to do and very difficult to give evidence to if they actually do and how long will you have iran do responsible behavior in the in the persian gulf until you actually lose in sanctions so this is all a very open situation and trump clearly said when the conditions are right i will meet with hassan rouhani but this is a break great if we had president michel try to to reiterate where they stood on the same side when it comes to iran and he mentione

trade organization under the terms that we did this is been terribly corrosive they have violated the law they violated those deals for so so long just their illegal actions have cost us millions of jobs not merely the regular flow of trade it's a really good for president trying to take this on even if it does hurt the economy or if it shakes markets in the meantime i think it's important for him to to show that he's not like other politicians of both parties to actually fulfill a major campaign promise so far everyone told us the economy was going to tank of president got elected what happened it took off you can try to credit barack obama for that you can try to credit whoever but that's what happened unemployment dropped to record lows you had very high consumer confidence very high manufacturing confidence i'm not worried about the prognostications of people who got the economy wrong for 2 and a half years if the economy does tank he's probably in trouble but so far i think he's charted a good course and we think i don't you know if the economy tanks i don't even know that it nec

trade organization has been abused and american consumers and american workers have paid a extreme, certainly american workers have paid a heavy price for it. in the past china has made a lot of agreements. they made a lot of promises and they broke them all. the fact they hadn't even done the simplest thing up their agricultural buys, i think that is what triggered president trump's threat of an additional tariff. isn't it time some president, maybe throws away the old playbook because they know how to game the old playbook, they have done it successfully to their advantage for a long time? >> it is true china has taken advantage of the united states and we attempted not to respond as much as we should have. also true sometimes they make commitments and frankly don't live up to them. yes, we need a new playbook, that begs the question what playbook? the current new playbook is one not working. it is really causing havoc in the world trading community, world investment community. china is resisting approach the united states is taking. the better playbook for me, frankly, hard to do

trade organization one then people who want the rule of law if you like of the w.t. you know. the prevalence and of course it's also not been very favorable to us that. we can give anything at the wing operates so. perhaps one could call that friends or environments in which johnson finds himself and whether he will be able to have influence on one song they would like to do is questionable on on on the trait side in particular but also on some of the more wider security there is that the rest of the new film very very small of course that includes as we know. libya to appoint a crane trump as we know the fact that russia is member of the again as was against before so so there are still names and that's where perhaps or that you will not agree but i think we're johnson could prove useful and i stress and some but you know what if he just lost his taste and ackerman a trump left early what do you make of the mood music so far we know that the president tried to nationally want to come to this chase up and meeting but what do you make of the mood music of the body lan

trade organization and insist china play by the rules within the constructs and had allies with him at the table that would suggest the entire western world as opposed to the united states wanted to see change that would have more of an impact with the chinese and if you understand bargaining in asia certainly doing it in the public format like this and the way the president does it also causes them to dig their heels in even more when it comes to negotiating thorn topics like these. the u.s. has a lot of work to do to get china to behave more in line with world trade. with respects to comments about jay powell, those were completely unspooled and in fact, quite frankly his attacks on the fed are entirely unwarranted. the fed has done the right thing thus far it cut rates in july it's watching data where we are as of tonight given the president's raising of tariffs means we'll have a recession in six months. >> ron, bipartisan, everyone disagree with tpp. >> that's not true at all. >> every democrat, every democrat and republican didn't want to go tpp we're rewriting that no one lik

through an organization called the world trade organization. it would have been far more effective than today. one minute they're going to go up and the next minute you exempt and there's fighting inside the administration. most people telling him don't impose the tariffs. the market goes down 400 points and what's that mean? we better put the brakes on here. we could damage the economy and damage the world economy. that is ou strongest card to play. we better back off. i don't think it's more complicated than that. most presidents woultd do that. they want to run on a good economy. when it goes south it's really hard. >> that was my next question. especially with the holiday shopping season coming up. and all everything happening. that's probably -- and the election. that's the last thing he needs is a struggling economy. >> the farmers. they're unhappy. they can't sell products. it's a mess. >> i want to move on. i want to talk about the massive protests in hong kong. you tweeted this. the united states government should speak up in support o

they have never really lived by the world trade organization rules and there are other behaviors that most of the countries that we trade with adhere to that they just ignore. >> neil: all right. and on and on we wait and wait. thank you all very, very much. dow up 371 points. for these concerns dissipating today because both sides do plan to talk next month. meanwhile an outpouring of bipartisan support for new gun-control loss following those terrible shootings in dayton, ohio, and el paso, texas, . judge andrew napolitano says the success of those laws come down to doing one thing. maybe breaking the constitution. after this. do you have concerns about mild memory loss related to aging? prevagen is the number one pharmacist-recommended memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. thanks to priceline working with top airlines to turn their unsold seats into amazing deals, sports fans are seeing more away games. various: yeah-h-h! isn't that a fire hazard? uh, it's actually just a fire. priceline. every trip

the uk would leave the eu single market and customs union and follow world trade organization rules to trade with the eu and other countries while trying to negotiate free—trade deals. well, the food industry says leaving in the autumn could pose more supply problems than the original brexit date last march. the food and drink federation represents about 300 businesses in the sector and says it has repeatedly asked ministers for clarity on a no—deal scenario. tim rycroft is its chief operations director and he told me that shortages of foods could go on for weeks or months. there will be some selective shortages, particularly of fresh food, and also some random shortages, as things like specialist ingredients fail to get through, as trucks get stopped on the other side of the channel, some things will come in short supply, perhaps temporarily, other things for longer periods of time. so it is quite hard to predict precisely what will happen. so how prepared are your members for a no—deal brexit? i would say most of the larger companies have done as much as they can, but there are

we let china become a member of the world trade organization on december 11th 2,001. everybody who does business in china knows that when it comes to trade china will steal the hair off your head. president trump has been the first president since 2001 was been willing to stand up and say, enough! the situation we find ourselves in is not just about money, it's about whether china is going to become part of the world order. we are for the first time of any country -- you haven't seen germany step up to the plate or england. we are stepping up to the plate and saying enough is enough. what do we do about this situation? what do we do? president trump is a smart guy and he knows the only way to win back a long-term trade war is don't bite the thing. here's what i would like to see him do. if i was getting for a day and i'm not and i don't aspire to be, i would pick up the phone and call the president and say we need to meet and i'm not talking in a neutral location, i'm not talking about a two hour meeting and a photo op. we need to have a summit, three days, you and me

to me it's liked a world trade organization protest of the past. people didn't want to break stuff. it stopped having a basis. there is a concern that china is a super economy that has been growing and driving demand for several years is in trouble and may or may not be because of the tariffs. shane very when i was in hong kong and china in june, we were asking people, are you concerned about this spreading? i guilt was not a legitimate concern being expressed. perhaps it has changed. do you think it might ever? that would be a threat to xi jinping. >> there is something special about hong kong that's different from the mainland. hong kong has long bern one of the most of free places on the planet when it comes to the economy. they are used to more freedom of. they are pushing back because they don't want to lose that. i think it would be a terrible thing for china. hong kong is a golden goose. it's important to the chinese economy. hopefully that have some constraints on what they do. if hong kong has to turn into the rest of china, it's not good for china, the rest of the world, a

where was the wall street journal, in 2001, when china got into the world trade organization. we watched the exodus over 70,000 of our factories, why isn't the wall street journal been editorial idesing over the last ten years about china hacking our computers to steal trade secrets, about stealing our intellectual property. about the currency manipulation that occurred for over a decade. so, "the wall street journal," look -- >> we don't have a trade deal, though >> it's called "the wall street journal" for a reason. it represents wall street. "the wall street journal" never saw an american job it didn't want to -- >> but let's talk about tariffs which has consumers concerned and businesses concerned. the president delayed some of those tariffs until after christmas, why would delaying tariffs help america consumers? >> i love this question, we have $300 billion worth of chinese exports that didn't have yet tariffs. what the president did was, he looked at that and as of september 1st, about half of that will be tariffed at 10%. now the other half, why didn't we tariff the ot

we were losing all our cases in the world trade organization. almost every case, lost, lost, lost. they thought we were stupid. then i came along. now we're winning a lot of cases. >> unpack that for us, daniel. >> thank you for giving me that montage. yes, steel plants were being built before the trump administration although others were closing of course. no, it is not true that all the u.s. sends japan in exports is wheat. japan is the fourth largest export market for the united states at $120 billion a year. wheat isn't even the number one agricultural product. and so the idea that this is all the u.s. exports, and not only that, japan doesn't even want to buy the wheat but it's just doing it out of pity because it is so dominating the united states is absolutely absurd. so this was another official speech, not even a rally, where the president was just telling lie after lie. >> catherine, the treasury department reporting monday that the deficit has increased by 27% this time over last year. the white house office of management and budget predicting the deficit will be over $1

trade organization because china, the president says, has been taking advantage of the system, they have gained it and things need to change so that china no longer takes such advantage of other countries that are in the wto, also hanging over this summit, a lot of concern about where the global economy is headed because of trade war with china and the new tariffs that both countries are leveling at each other, china has said that it is going to put tariffs on another $75 billion in u.s. products, that will occur on september the first, which is in conjunction with president trump saying he's going to increase tariffs on china september the first and december the 15th, the president saying that he will increase by 5% targeted tariffs of 10%. that would take them 5 to 10% and delaying some of those tariffs on $300 billion on chinese goods until december 15th in order to allow retailers to stock up for the christmas season. the president also said that 25% tariffs that already are in existence against $250 billion of chinese goods will increase by 5% on october the first to 30%. what'

and the way to deal with this was the whole world, through the world trade organization. he chose to go unilaterally. exactly what he did on iran. and i think it was a terrible mistake. now he faces an economic problem, and i think that is why they're now searching, maybe searching for a way to get out of this. because if the economy goes south, they know that the red lights come on and they know that they have a problem. >> yeah. i just wondered, too, the first part, why do they seem to tiptoe around him? maybe they're saying, listen, it's not worth it. we'll just work around him. i got to ask you, president trump is expressing confidence that he can reach a deal with china. i just want to get your reaction. this is something that david axelrod tweeted out. he can't tank the economy headed into an election and the chinese know it. so is that a real possibility? >> i do -- i think that's possible, yes. and let me tell you, the nafta deal that is now sitting -- being ratified by congress, the new nafta deal, it's the same as the old nafta deal. there's only a few tweaks. s

trade organization. listen, it is antiquated entity. he talked about it is failing in a lot of areas which i found to be a fascinating admission? >> this is an interesting development. i think these guys are slowly understanding the world is changing beneath their feet. it is not just donald trump and brexit. it is much bigger than that although those are key drivers. the question, is this relevant? the g7 was created in the wake of the collapse of the bretton woods system. it was idea of getting the people together in a room. the leaders of countries with the money and the will, the free world to actually do things. is this crowd capable of that? even boris johnson, didn't really seem to be up to par. we still have britain basically working against us on iran and completely irrelevant to the threat from china. tough wonder if the g7 is still relevant? charles: president trump's body language versus what he said was amazing. his body language when macron was talking, uh-huh, uh-huh. listen he was concili

trade organization, two of the worst deals ever in the history of our world. not just our country. election after election, politicians came to your state, pretending to have the courage to stand up for the american worker. then they went to washington and to let other countries push them around and special interests buy them off and steal your jobs and take your companies. what happened? many, i don't care about their campaign contributions. it doesn't matter to me folks. we want to do a job. we want to do a great job. and we are setting records. you know who is sending us the money? the small donors. we have big donors, though we have small donors, too. they are sending us the money for the election. pretty amazing. that's not supposed to happen to a republican but it's happening to this republican and it's happening to you. [cheers and applause] every valve that politicians made was broken. every hope was dashed and every promise turned into a total betrayal of new hampshire and of our country. but in this administration, we have something those sellout pol
