Hello the trade war between the u. S. And china appears to have accelerated dramatically over the past 24 hours on monday the u. S. Government formally declared china a currency manipulator thats a mostly symbolic action but it is likely to raise tensions between the 2 economic giants and the move came hours after china devalued its currency the one which caused the main u. S. Financial indices to fall by more than 3 percent that was after the Trump Administration announced increased tariffs on a further 300000000000. 00 in chinese imports last week and when that. When he comes into effect next month it will mean virtually every product china exports to the u. S. Will be subject to extra taxes lets bring in our White House Correspondent kelly hawkers joining us from washington d. C. On the president s been up and tweeting and defending the decision to label china a currency currency manipulator can really yeah the view of the trumpet ministration of the president specifically is that the United States is in a stronger position in this tit for tat trade war turned currency war that has been escalating for quite some time in comparison to where china stands right now the feeling is that the United States economy is still strong resilient enough to withstand some of the bumps and bruises that seem to be as a result of this back and forth and thats what the president was talking about on social media on twitter specifically this morning making the case that the universe United States so far has benefited from this trade war not everyone would agree with that but that hes saying that companies that had been located in china are now looking to the United States more favorable conditions for doing business and also that the United States is benefiting from those tariffs that are put in place on chinese imports into the United States that also is being debated still the white house is defending at the top Economic Advisor larry kudlow speaking to reporters in the driveway behind me here at the white house in the last couple of hours saying that the bottom line is that the the United States cannot tolerate not only currency manipulation but also intellectual property theft from china and as a result it has drawn a line in the sand it believes this is the right approach and it also knows the her least the argument is being made is that the president believes the bigger the risk the higher the stakes the bigger the reward. This is a transformative president. Who is going in many places where prior president s and both parties have fear to tread. He is determined hes rebuilding the American Economy which is going very strong. And i think part of that has to be trade. Now the president sent out 2 tweets about this escalation between the United States and china the 2nd ones address the concerns of farmers specifically now this is where there has been a big pinch being felt here in the United StatesAmerican Farmers really caught counted on china for particularly soybean exports as a result of this escalation chinas just in the recent days ordered at state run companies not to purchase u. S. Agricultural goods this is going to hurt American Farmers even further then these trade war tariffs that have been going back and forth weve already seen the United States give American Farmers 2 aid packages the president in his twitter tweet today saying that there could be the potential for another aid package saying he will stand with farmers what i can tell you in the midst of all of this is weve seen the stock markets tumble concerns about the strong u. S. Economy suddenly starting to take a hit with a possible concern of recession but this is a big political gavel for the president on top of Everything ElseAmerican Farmers make up a big part of his base so hes taking a huge risk here not only just in terms of up ending the Global Economy but potentially putting his reelection in 2020 at risk all right so it can really help that thank you scott heiler has the view from beijing. The trade war between the United States and china has reached concerning New Territory the u. S. Treasury department for the 1st time since 1994 has labeled china as a currency manipulator this is because over the last couple of days the you on the chinese currency has gone up to over 7 per u. S. Dollar now thats a territory a symbolic territory that hasnt crossed in quite some time that raise concern that also had knock on effect with markets around the world after that label was issued by the United States treasury departments pushback from the Chinese Government refuting that claim and also it seemed as though the Chinese Government on tuesday pump the brakes a little bit because offshore chair trading of the yuan went down below that symbolic 7 yuan per dollar mark so obviously a lot of back and forth this of course comes after what we heard just at the beginning of the week President Trump announcing a new round of tariffs on 300000000000. 00 of chinese goods going to the United States now this is something you know there was a discussion last week in shanghai here in china negotiations between the 2 countries that really didnt go anywhere no real announcements until we heard at the beginning of this week and obviously a lot of firing back and forth now obviously this is very concerning territory in this trade war and also theres concern Global Markets were going down as a result of what weve been hearing theres greater concern what kind of knock on the effect it could have in Global Economy and some very strong words coming from beijing responding to what President Trump was saying they said this is very irresponsible this is the Central Government here in beijing irresponsible and theyre holding the u. S. Administrations Holding Americas families hostage during this trade were obviously its going to have a drag on the Global Economy thats something that china is underlining you have to see what happens next but theres been some very strong tit for tat at the beginning of this week. Lets also talk to tara jackson shes a financial analyst and author of shes joining us via skype from wilmington delaware thanks very much for speaking to us on the news hour so this the session china as a currency manipulator could that be a justification to impose more tariffs in september or is this a way for the trumpet ministration to gain more concessions from china i think its a way for them to gain more concessions during the exactly what you said theyve been itching or the president s been itching to call them a currency manipulator for a very long time this yesterday their move which i consider a chess who is pretty much what gave them the reason to do that on one hand they were saying that their economy is really good on the next hand theyre saying theyre doing it to protect their on a me and so they pretty much are as the United States whats crna they reached that act that would control that so that gave United States the power at that point to call out currency manipulator as a chess move they made one now with the other players calling foul and saying theyre cheating and china is coming back and saying were not cheating we did it just to stabilize our markets which it did because everything is up today and we have no more intention of doing any more just minutes yeah but what about this tells you that the china is willing to engage in more negotiations because we know that the u. S. And china have been involved in trade talks there has been no results so is it possible to see how this particular designation is going to change that situation. So really i think this is the biggest pair of testosterone fight ive ever seen and its causing so much uncertainty in the market and so its too its like 2 fathers that are fighting against each other and their families are getting the hit from it im hoping in september they can meet if they do need so that they can come to some resolution to avoid the havoc its going to cause in the markets in the future i say that we need to wait and see what september is going to bring if they actually went back to me but given that just 3 weeks ago jackson the International Monetary fund itself said that they won accurately reflects chinas economic fundamentals i suppose the question is what do you think the ultimate game plan is here for the u. S. Treasury their u. S. Treasury is to get the i. M. F. Involved so it stop any other adjustments or any other moves from china so their ultimate goal if they can legitimately call them a currency manipulator they can get the International Monetary fund to do an investigation and halt any other movements and right now it seems like its on founded i dont think anythings going to happen of it i think we call them a currency manipulator too soon i think we waited 24 hours to see it was going to happen what they were going to say the one thing is because they did call them out they china now said ok were not going to do any more movements we dont need to because what we did did what we wanted to do and that was to correct the market arises her in jackson we thank you very much for joining us on the aljazeera news hour thank you. Now pakistan is vowing to exert maximum pressure on india over the crisis in kashmir thats after new delhi stripped indian administered kashmir of its autonomy so pakistans Prime Minister imran khan called on the world to take notice of indias move to change the status of the disputed region. You know india went against the 17 resolutions of the United NationsSecurity Council she went to get a United NationsGeneral Assembly resolution and they went against the agreement they have taken a decision in which they want to change the demographics of kashmir meanwhile indias lower house has rubber stamp legislation to split indian administered kashmir into and indian troops have the area on lockdown as you can see internet and phone lines are down curfews are in place and local political leaders are being detained we have correspondents both in india and pakistan in a moment well speak to come on in pakistan administered kashmir but 1st over to phase dimia whos joining us from new delhi and as were saying fay is the lower house in india has passed that resolution this was expected. This was completely expected daryn given the indian governments majority in the lower house was a poor gone conclusion that it was passed but the interesting thing what we didnt expect was how much opposition support there was many opposition parties and members of parliament openly said went against their own party some of them some of them the entire party latched on to the government agreeing with them on this proposal on this bill which is now passed and even some opposition members that were criticizing the means of how they legally maneuver to get this resolution and then get this bill passed did agree with the ends so it was very interesting to see that that there is wide support in parliament and in the public for this now on the other side marys living outside of the region ones that weve spoken to in delhi say theyre still worried about their families the shutdown is continuing in indian administered kashmir phone lines landlines Broadband Internet mobile phones theyre all shut down and people cant even get to touch with their families they want dont they dont even know where they are but indias home minister ahmed shah says this will all be for the better and will actually bridge the divide between kashmiris and indians making them one and will better be better for them and the country all together all right so if i is to me with an update from new delhi thank you lets bring in come on haidar he is and was a far about in pakistan administered kashmir and when pakistan says it will exert maximum pressure on india over that crisis in kashmir what are we to read into those comments what are pakistans options. Pakistans options of course are limited cade but at the same time the language coming out of the military high command that august on will go to any level when it comes to their support of the Media Freedom struggle so progress on making that great a clear interesting lead up against any Prime Minister who was speaking on the floor all thought parliament where there were joint emergencies station he said he expected he said im going to predict that once dissipation is unleashed on the population in india and by fish meat axe pakistan likes to call it he said that there would be a reaction and once again india were to blame bog it down like they did. By scapegoating bog us down which could lead to an indian incursion in and then pakistan would react to dags so indeed that situation vay warner tied it into water awards strong rhetoric and its going to be important to see what kind of shape everything takes me and whats right whats sort of shape this will take because dayton apprehension. Water awards and actions on the ground even the leaders backcourt perhaps start a big configuration and this region all right thank you.
