Talk shows but today the new york times and here s the headline it s an eye catcher to stop iran s bomb bomb iran there s rarely missing a chance to hammer home his aggressive foreign policy approach i think has the earlier strike the more damage you can do it is a stance he has doggedly clung to ever since he has the us ambassador to the u.n. under george w. bush that was during the iraq war he now returns to government on a bulging in-tray well i think the issues that confront us on proliferation and terrorism these are issues i ve dealt with before the president obviously has them at the top of his priority list and so that s that s what we working on among among many others bolton will have to put words into action when he starts shaping u.s. national security policy from next month. joining me now is tyson baka he s a us political scientist and a program director and fellow at the aspen institute here in germany welcome tyson
As fears of the creedmore grill as much as sixty billion dollars worth of annual chinese exports to the u.s. could be affected this is the first of many punishing china on trade it was one of president trump s most fiery campaign pledges we can t continue to allow china to rape our country and that s what they re doing now actions are following words trump is moving to levy tariffs on chinese goods to slash the value of the u.s. trade deficit with china we want reciprocal mirror if they charge us we charge them the same thing but beijing says reciprocity should not be the goal on trade it says it could impose retaliatory tariffs on u.s. products like pork and aluminum if it must but that it would rather convince washington to change course and i don t get out of trade everyone knows it s
Unrealistic to achieve complete equivalence so if the us purchases whatever it wants but also rejects selling china the products we want and keeps blaming us for the trade imbalance how is that fair i don t mind out. meanwhile some analysts are asking is trump s bark bigger than his bite when it comes to trade. the president already announced global tariffs on steel and aluminum earlier this month but then came the negotiations and the exemptions. they include an initial exemption for the european union with e.u. leaders welcoming the move is to avoid protectionism at the global level. this is a major risk for jobs not only in europe. in this respect style of tuesday u.s. ski. the dialogue is set to continue but so too is the pressure from washington
But it doesn t look the implication of this what he was saying sounds extremely bloody especially full. allies in europe the european union one of the implications of having. them it was going to do his bidding without taking into account what the allies would listen like i mean you know john bolton served in the first bush administration as was probably the unilateralist so unilateralist i mean this guy is somebody who does not consider the will the will of the international community when making decisions it s one of the reasons that he was not confirmed by the senate to be u.n. ambassador i think that this is the point where congress and the allies need to take a much bigger role in checking the president in the role of his power and in foreign policy right. tyson baka thank you very much phil analysis it was a pleasure to have you with us m d w thank you. this article look at some other stories making news around the syrian opposition fighters and their families have been evacuating the besieged town in eastern kuta after visiting
