The administration has delayed the removal of a 27 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 4: so called the Minimus exemption for now. That means Canada 28 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 4: and Mexico can continue shipping low cost goods over the 29 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 4: border without a tariff. 30 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: Well Nathan Trump's move has prompted a swift retaliation from 31 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 3: Canada and China.

So today might just reflect 59 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 8: the fact that for much I think of this year, 60 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 8: there was thoughts that they would actually never be able 61 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 8: mented or be watered down.

The trade war is on. 228 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 4: President Donald Trump has made good on threats to impost 229 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 4: twenty five five percent tariffs on most imports from Canada 230 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 4: and Mexico and to double the levy on all Chinese 231 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 4: goods to twenty percent. The President says it's about stopping 232 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 4: illegal immigration and drug flows and boosting US manufacturing. 233 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 5: They can't come in and steal our money and steal 234 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 5: our jobs, and take our factories and take our businesses 235 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 5: and expect not to be punished, and they're being punished 236 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 5: by tariffs. 237 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 4: President Trump spoke there at a Winehouse news conference heard 238 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 4: live on Bloomberg Radio this morning. We are joined by 239 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 4: Bloomberg News Global Trade editor Brendan Murray. And Brendan, could 240 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 4: we see trade flows up ended dramatically following this first 241 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 4: major salvo in what looks like a new trade war. 242 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 2: Good morning morning. 243 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 12: Yeah, it could. It could happen fairly quickly. Now we 244 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 12: haven't heard the retaliation yet from Mexico. That will be 245 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 12: something to watch today and tomorrow. Mexico is, of course 246 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 12: a big supplier of food products and consumer electronics and 247 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 12: automobiles and and uh. And so we'll see how you know, 248 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 12: a lot of the a lot of the food products 249 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 12: are are perishable too, so you know, you can't really 250 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 12: stick those in a warehouse for very long. So we'll 251 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 12: see how the trade flows play out here. But it 252 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 12: seems that all three sides are are kind of, you know, 253 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 12: talking a big talk right now about how tough they're 254 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 12: going to be on their retaliation. There's even some a 255 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 12: Canadian politician who's saying, we're going to cut off your 256 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 12: electricity supply from our province to into into the US. 257 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 8: UH. 258 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 12: So we'll see how you like that. So it's getting 259 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 12: it's getting. It's I wouldn't call it, you know that 260 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 12: the tone isn't you know, very very sharp just yet. 261 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 12: But both sides are kind of sharpening up there, sharpening 262 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 12: up the rhetoric. And and you know, we'll see how 263 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 12: if this is a short run uh situation, or or 264 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 12: something that turns into a more prolonged trade war that 265 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 12: starts to hit the economy. 266 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 4: Well, as we start to see these rhetorical knives get 267 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 4: sharpened here or Brendan, we've heard Canada announce phased in 268 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 4: tariffs on one hundred and seven billion dollars in US 269 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 4: goods China with fifteen percent tariffs, mainly on US agriculture. 270 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 4: What kind of impact could that have on the US economy. 271 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 12: So China's uh, China's retaliation that they announced just a 272 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 12: few hours ago was fairly reserved. It was on, you know, 273 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 12: a tiny fraction of the goods that China imports from 274 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 12: the US, but more symbolic than anything, they targeted agricultural products. 275 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 12: US farmers and US farmers for years have tried to 276 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 12: develop markets in China and to and to and to 277 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 12: increase all the soybeans and and and all the wheat 278 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 12: and crops that they that they that they ship overseas. 279 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 12: China has been the big market for those at the 280 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 12: at the moment, guess who's having a bumper harvest, Brazil. 281 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 12: So it it if you if China says, look, we're 282 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 12: going to slapff's on American agricultural products, the messages we've 283 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 12: got somewhere else to buy from. So American farmers, you know, 284 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 12: would be getting nervous about this. And I think that's 285 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 12: why one of the reasons why you saw Trump post 286 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 12: on social media yesterday something about farmers are going to 287 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 12: do great because we're going to put We're going to 288 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 12: put tariffs on all food food imports, and so American 289 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 12: farmers are going to do great. So a bit of 290 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 12: preemptive reassurance there, I think maybe the President Trump anticipating 291 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 12: that China would come back and retaliate against, you know, 292 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 12: the heartland of America. 293 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 4: All about thirty seconds left, Brendon, what does this mean 294 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 4: for the existing US trade deal with Canada and Mexico 295 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 4: and is the door still open to a trade deal 296 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 4: with China. 297 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 12: Well, that's there's an interesting role that that trade deal, 298 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 12: the USMCA previously NAFTA, plays into this. That's supposed to 299 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 12: be renegotiated in twenty twenty six. This was the deal 300 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 12: that Trump renegotiated in his first term. It's up for 301 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 12: renegotiation in twenty twenty six. And so perhaps what the 302 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 12: that the strategy here is to put Mexico and Canada 303 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 12: on the back feet, hit them with these tariffs, drive 304 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 12: them to an early renegotiation in more favorable terms to 305 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 12: the US. That's one way some folks are speculating this 306 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 12: could play out, that this is really just a kind 307 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 12: of a flurry of things that the US could do 308 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 12: to sort of enter those negotiations in the strongest position possible. 309 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 310 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 3: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 311 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 4: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 312 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 4: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 313 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 3: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 314 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 3: am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 315 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 3: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 316 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 3: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 317 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: XM Channel one twenty one. 318 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 4: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 319 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 4: now with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces. 320 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 3: Don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
