1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 2: This is breaking news from Bloomberg. We are seeing a

3
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: sharp cell often stocks around the world with President Trump

4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 2: said to follow through on his threat of tariffs against

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 2: America's closest trading partners. On Saturday, the President announced twenty

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: five percent duties on products from Canada and Mexico and

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 2: ten percent on China, starting just after midnight tonight. Trump

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 2: admits American consumers might take a hit.

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: We may have short term so a little pain, and

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 3: people understand that. But long term, the United States has

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 3: been ripped off by virtually every country in the world.

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: We have deficits with almost every country, not every country.

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 2: But all most and Republican lawmakers are signaling they support

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: the president's efforts. Senator Lindsey Graham had this reaction on

15
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: Fox News Sunday.

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 4: If you want tariffs to go away, Mexico and China,

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 4: stop poising Americans, stop sending ventanyl into America to kill Americans.

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 4: If you want to have a better relationship in Mexico

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 4: with the United States, do your report on the other

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 4: side of the border.

21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: But Democratic Senator Mark Warner says tariffs amount to what

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: he calls a Donald Trump Super Bowl tax less than

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: a week before the big game. Remember, Donald Trump got

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: hired trying to lower grow saying he was going to

25
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: lower grocery prices.

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: Right two weeks in, He's doing something that's going to

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: do the absolute opposite.

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 2: Senator Warner spoke to CBS as Margaret Brennan on Face

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: the Nation, and you can hear both Face the Nation

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: and Fox News Sunday every Sunday on Bloomberg Radio.

31
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 5: Well, Nathan Trump says he will have separate calls this

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 5: morning with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as well as

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 5: with the Mexican leadership. The Canadian leader has already pledged

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 5: twenty five percent retaliatory tariffs on one hundred and seven

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 5: billion dollars worth of US goods. Trudeau says Trump's action

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 5: now risks job losses and price rises for Americans.

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 6: If President Trump wants to usher in a new golden

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 6: age for the United States, the better path is to

39
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 6: partner with Canada, not to punish US.

40
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 5: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trude do other Canadian officials announce

41
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 5: their own measures. David Eby, the Premiere of British Columbia,

42
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 5: directed to provincially owned a liquor distributor, to remove some

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 5: alcohol brands made in Republican led States from the shelves

44
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 5: of retail stores and to cease further purchases.

45
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: Well, as you mentioned, Karen, the PAESO is dropping to

46
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: its lowest level in almost three years. Mexican President Claudia

47
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: Shanbaum says she'll set out her response to US tariffs

48
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: later today. She says she hopes a resolution can be

49
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: found quickly.

50
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: That's a bit Anian noise.

51
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 4: Nibo sovereignty is not negotiable to this end.

52
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: Yesterday, in my statement, I proposed to President Trump, though

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: we establish a working group, it is not with the

54
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: imposition of tariffs that the problems are resolved, but speaking

55
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: and dialoguing.

56
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 7: As we did.

57
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: Mexican President Claudia Shanbaum spoke there through an interpreter. President

58
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: Trump has said he may escalate US tariff's further in

59
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: response to any retalients.

60
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 5: Well Nathan, China's reaction to Trump's tariffs, which come in

61
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 5: the middle of Lunar New Year holiday celebrations, has been

62
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 5: more muted. The country's Commerce Ministry issued a statement expressing

63
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 5: strong dissatisfaction and vowing corresponding countermeasures without elaborating. Our Chief

64
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 5: North Asia correspondent Stephen Engels says China's reaction could yet

65
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 5: ramp up.

66
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 6: This is going to be a protracted process, so Beijing

67
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 6: has to process exactly what's going to be the end

68
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 6: result of tariffs. Is it going to go up to

69
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 6: sixty percent? It's ten percent right now, and there's going

70
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 6: to be an economic impact to that. And I think

71
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 6: right now, especially as they're coming out of the long

72
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 6: Lunar New Year holiday, kind of crafting their message obviously.

73
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 5: And Leutz Bloomberg Steven Angel are reporting from Hong Kong.

74
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: And after he announced those duties on China, Mexico and Canada, Karen,

75
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: President Trump also ramped up threats to the European Union,

76
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: citing that block's large surplus with the US.

77
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: tell you that because they've taken advantage of US. Said,

79
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: you know, we have over three hundred billion dollar deficit.

80
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: They don't take our cars, they don't take our farm products.

81
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: They take almost nothing, and we take everything from the

82
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 3: millions of cars, tremendous amounts of food and farm product.

83
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: President Trump's remarks came after an EU spokesperson said that

84
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: the BLOCK would respond firmly to any trading partner that

85
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: unfairly or arbitrarily imposes tariffs on EU goods.

86
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 5: Well, Nathan, President Trump's tariffs against Canada and Mexico may

87
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 5: result in consumers paying more for cars, and we get

88
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 5: that angle up the tariff story with Bloomberg's John Tucker

89
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 5: and John how much are we talking about here?

90
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 8: Well, Karen Research from automotive consultant Alex Partners says the

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 8: tariffs will add sixty billion dollars in cost to the

92
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 8: auto industry, a lot of which likely to be passed

93
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 8: on to consumers. Wolf Research analysts so the average price

94
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 8: of a new car may climb by about three thousand dollars.

95
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 8: The duties would immediately hit almost a quarter of the

96
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 8: sixteen million vehicles that are sold in the US every year,

97
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 8: as well as the parts and components that go into them. Now,

98
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 8: car components can make their way back and forth across

99
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 8: the US borders as many as eight times during the

100
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 8: production of the car. Automakers in Mexico they've been preparing

101
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 8: by preemptively importing both more components and vehicles that could

102
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 8: ease the blow in the first few weeks. But Flavio Volpi,

103
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 8: he's the president of Canada's Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association, predicts

104
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 8: his words now the auto sector is going to shut

105
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 8: down within a week. This morning, shares of GM down

106
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 8: seven percent, Stalantes is off almost six percent, and Ford

107
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 8: is down four percent. John Tucker Bloomberg Radio.

111
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. President Donald Trump's promise of

112
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: tariffs on America's closest trading partners is rippling through markets.

113
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: After announcing twenty five percent duties on Canada and Mexico

114
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: and ten percent on China, the President says the European

115
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: Union is next.

116
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: They don't take our cars, they don't take our farm products,

117
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 3: they take almost nothing. Can we take everything?

118
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 5: From?

119
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 2: The President spoke to reporters outside Washington last night. Joining

120
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: us this morning from the nation's capital, Terry Haynes, the

121
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: founder of Pangaea Policy. As we watch stocks sell off

122
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: and the dollar rally this morning, Terry, Should the market

123
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: have seen this coming?

124
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 7: Good morning, Hi, Good morning, Nathan, And yes, I think

125
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 7: they should have. Markets have spent the last few months

126
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 7: talking themselves into a gradualistory even you know, this isn't happening.

127
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 7: It's all negotiation stance, and yes it is negotiation, but

128
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 7: it's negotiation based not from a trade war perspective, but

129
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 7: I think from an overall conflict perspective, a broader geopolitical context,

130
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 7: among others.

131
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: So what is the chance, then, Terry, that the president

132
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: that it actually does follow through on these He announced

133
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: they're going to kick in just after midnight tonight. At

134
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: the same time he's saying that he will have discussions

135
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: with Canada and Mexico today.

136
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 7: I think the markets should assume that some tariffs are coming.

137
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 7: I think the size and shape are still very much

138
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 7: up in the air, and markets are going to have

139
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 7: to get used to volatility here. Frankly, in the realm

140
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 7: of political decision making. You know, my instinct, and it

141
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 7: is only instinct, is that it's not at all beyond

142
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 7: the question that the tariffs go in as announced. It's

143
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 7: also not beyond the question that they go in with

144
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 7: some lowered modifications. You can look One way you can

145
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 7: look at this is Trump testing the markets on reaction,

146
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 7: and he's also testing politically the reaction of our border

147
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 7: partners to do specific things to actually improve the border

148
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 7: and stop the flow of fentanyl.

149
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: Is this a test on fellow Republicans as well?

150
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 7: It is to some extent, yes, but I think it's

151
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 7: in so far they've been supportive. But what you got

152
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 7: to remember over the last decade, and it's been a

153
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 7: decade since since tariff policy became part of geopolitical policy

154
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 7: in the United States, is that Congress has has supported

155
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 7: the means in which the how Trump imposes these tariffs,

156
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 7: whether it was Trump won, whether it was Biden when

157
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 7: then now whether it's Trump too. You know, Congress supports

158
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 7: the how. There will be some dissent on the when

159
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 7: or why. That's rooted as much in the partisan politics

160
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 7: as anything else. But there's not going to be any

161
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 7: serious move to try to stop Trump from doing any

162
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 7: of these things.

163
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: Do you think there are any further concessions that Canada

164
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: or Mexico could make after the concessions that they've say

165
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: that they have made even before the President announced these duties,

166
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: over the weekend.

167
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 7: My unsolicited advice to those countries is very simple is

168
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 7: that as you get as specific if they want to

169
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 7: stop the tariffs, get as specific, and to talk about

170
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 7: how well and how much you can partner as possible.

171
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 7: If Trump realizes, I think, unlike the first that he's

172
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 7: going to need support from his border partners and very

173
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 7: much wants those things.

174
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: And in just thirty seconds, is this about partnerships? Is

175
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 2: this about the fentanyl and immigration flows or is this

176
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: more about the trade deficits.

177
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 7: I think it's about both. But at root, you know,

178
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 7: Trump always says that his top priority is securing the border,

179
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 7: and I think you have to take the border strategy

180
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 7: both seriously and literally as part of the broader geopolitical

181
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 7: strategy and the broader economic strategy which are out there,

182
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 7: which exists, even if they're being ignored by markets.
