The other issue, and this was one that 28 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 5: came up during the pandemic, was the drugs production and 29 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 5: the pharmaceutical issue. Both of these are the Trump administration 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 5: is seeking to ground them in the legal rationale of 31 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 5: national security. 32 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: And Bloombergy trades are Brandan Murray says.

Steps 62 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 8: toward removing the tariffs lowering them are positive, but we're 63 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 8: in a world of tremendous uncertainty. 64 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: Despite uncertainties, Yellen told Bloomberg's Balance of Power, the US 65 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: economy is still strong and does not see a need 66 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: for a Central Bank intervention. 67 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: And another major story we're following this morning, Harvard University 68 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 3: fighting dock against President Trump's demands for what he calls 69 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 3: reforms at the school.

In a 216 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 3: breaking news story, another salvo in the trade war, China 217 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: has ordered its airlines not to take any further deliveries 218 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: of Boeing aircraft. Blowing Bloomberg Aviation reporter Danny Lee joins 219 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 3: US Now this morning from Hong Kong to walk us 220 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,359 Speaker 3: through this story. Danny, China has been reducing its reliance 221 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 3: on Boeing in recent years, but this still has to 222 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: be a big blow for the company. 223 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 4: This still stings for Boeing, and this directive is you know, 224 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 4: given how important still Boeing plays and the Chinese aviation sphere. 225 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 4: It still provides around forty to forty five percent of 226 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 4: all jets into the Chinese aviation market, and it's a 227 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 4: huge market as well. So Boeing is more broadly, yet 228 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 4: another company that is caught up in this ongoing tip 229 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 4: for trade war between Washington and Beijing. 230 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 3: What specifically has Beijing said? 231 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 4: So, Beijing has ordered the carriers not to take any 232 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 4: further deliveries, as you said, and also on top of that, 233 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 4: they have asked the airlines not to take any orders 234 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,239 Speaker 4: of any plane related equipment or parts from US companies. 235 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 4: Quite a broad mandate that they're asking of. And you 236 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 4: know this came at a time last week, in fact, 237 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 4: when China retaliated against against the US with its own 238 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 4: tariffs of one hundred and twenty five percent on Chinese goods. 239 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 4: And when you think just purely on the economic terms 240 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 4: of when you buy an aircraft, that kind of double 241 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 4: the cost of an aircraft over its lifetime and you know, 242 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 4: it becomes unrealistic for an airline to take delivery of 243 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 4: and you know this broader headache that airlines are worried 244 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 4: about of tariffs and the cost that they may have 245 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 4: to fut in terms of these hike and tariffs around 246 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 4: the world. 247 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 3: Is there any indication this could be reversed if there's 248 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 3: some progress in talks with the United States, Well, it. 249 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 4: Does remain to be seen. While on the China side, 250 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 4: at the very least they haven't backed down on the 251 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 4: tariffs that it has responded to from the US, whereas 252 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 4: in terms of Washington there has been some kind of 253 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 4: of rowback on some potes of some of the tariffs 254 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 4: and particularly related to Chinese made iPhones. So it does 255 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 4: we do have to wait and see whether there will 256 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 4: be any high level talks between China and the US 257 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 4: so there can be some de escalation. But for the moment, 258 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 4: all this does mean it does catch these prestige companies 259 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 4: in the middle. 260 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 6: It doesn't. 261 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 3: It seems like Boeing just can't get a break lately. 262 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 4: Right, No, true, and given how it's Boeing has come 263 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 4: so far in China, where China used to be one 264 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 4: of its most important foreign markets, selling billions and billions 265 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 4: of aircraft into the country every year, and over the 266 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 4: last several years, it has not won a single major 267 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 4: aircraft order, and it does come against the backdrop of 268 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 4: how China is pursuing its own aviation planemaking developments, so slowly, ever, slowly, 269 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 4: Boeing is getting squeezed out in one of the world's 270 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 4: biggest aviation markets. 271 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 3: And those shares were down over two percent re market. 272 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 3: Bloomberg Aviation Reporter any lead with us this morning from 273 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 3: Hong Kong, Danny, Thanks, Karen well John. 274 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: We want to turn our attention now to our interview 275 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 2: with US Treasury Secretary of Scott Bess and he sat 276 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 2: down in Buenos Aires exclusively with Bloomberg's and Marie hor 277 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: Dern for a wide ranging discussion. They talked about making 278 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: trade deals with countries following President Trump's tariff rollout, negotiating 279 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: with China, and whether he's concerned about rising yields and 280 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: a week dollar. Let's go to part of their discussion. 281 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 6: Oh, I think there could be numerous countries, and it 282 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 6: may not be the actual trade document, but we will 283 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 6: have an agreement in principle and be able to move 284 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 6: forward from there. 285 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,359 Speaker 7: So are we talking about a dozen or seventy plus? 286 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 6: I think it's going to depend. But we're going to 287 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 6: move with all deliberate speed. And again it's going to 288 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 6: be a process. It's going to be USTR who just 289 00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 6: has mountains of data that they've been collecting over the years. 290 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 6: Because in a funny way, the terriffs are the easiest part. 291 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 6: So a country with high tariffs you can just say, okay, 292 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 6: this is get rid of it. It's the non tariff 293 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 6: trade barriers that are more insidious, more difficult to spot, 294 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 6: and it's probably going to take a little little longer 295 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 6: to exercise those demons. 296 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 7: China's Commerce Ministry came out when the tariff rates were 297 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 7: going above one hundred percent and called it, quote a joke. 298 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 7: Has there been negotiations on any level between Beijing and 299 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 7: Washington right now? 300 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 6: Well, look it'll come from the top. President Trump, Chairman 301 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 6: Shee have a very good relationship, and I wouldn't say 302 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 6: that these are not a joke. I mean these are 303 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 6: big numbers. I think no one thinks they're sustainable, wants 304 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 6: them to remain here, but it's far from a joke. 305 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 7: Well, they just say that the rate is so high 306 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 7: it's become a joke. Basically, does it just stop trade 307 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 7: between Washington and Beijing altogether? Do you see a decoupling 308 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 7: of these two economies? 309 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 6: Well, maybe the trade minister has a different sense of humor. 310 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 6: I do, but I don't see anything funny about it. 311 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 7: Do you see a decoupling though, between Washington and Beijing? 312 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 6: There doesn't have to be. There could be. There's a 313 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 6: big deal to be done at some point. But look 314 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 6: what is different with China. That is different in the 315 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,719 Speaker 6: history of trade that normally if you go back to 316 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 6: the big trade deals or the currency deals in the eighties, 317 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 6: Applausa Accord, the Louver Accord, the Reagan Auto deals, were 318 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 6: our leading economic competitors, were our military allies. China is 319 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 6: both our biggest economic competitor and our biggest military rival. 320 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 6: So that's going to require a special kind of formula. 321 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 7: So shifts in TARFF policies has had markets on edge. 322 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 7: Even the President recently re marked the bond market was 323 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 7: quote queasy, do you have a sense of who is 324 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 7: dumping US assets? Who's been dumping US treasuries? 325 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 6: I don't think there's a dumping and I think we 326 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 6: saw in the TIC data either today or Friday, that 327 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 6: actually foreign ownerships picked up. We had two, we had 328 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 6: three big auctions last week, and on the longer end 329 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 6: auction ten year, thirty year, we saw increase foreign competition. 330 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 6: So I actually think this is one of those occasional 331 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 6: varshocks that you get in the trading community. I think 332 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 6: a lot of people got very leverage, maybe out over 333 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 6: their skis, and then you combine that with some real 334 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 6: money selling and you get these moves. 335 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 7: So you don't think it's sovereigns. Potentially it's hedge funds unwinding. 336 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 6: I have no evidence that it's sovereigns, and look emery, 337 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 6: not you. But the nature of journalism is to create 338 00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 6: a headline that ten days ago when ten year yields 339 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 6: hit three ninety said, well, Secretary Besson got what he wanted. 340 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 6: He got ten year yields down. But it's the wrong reason. 341 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 6: Now I forget what they hit on Friday, maybe for 342 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 6: forty something. 343 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 7: We saw a fifty basis move last week and ten 344 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 7: year yield at the same time that the dollar was 345 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 7: weakening nearly three percent. How do you simultaneously look at 346 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 7: that situation. It feels like investors are dumping US assets. 347 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 6: Well, look, I've learned that not to look at what 348 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 6: happens over a week. I, for better or worse, have 349 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 6: lived through a lot of these things, and trading in 350 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 6: one's personal trading history is the scar tissue that sticks 351 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 6: with you the most. I can tell you exactly where 352 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 6: I was standing in nineteen ninety eight when the long 353 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 6: term capital the backle happened. That had nothing to do 354 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 6: with anything other than a bunch of geniuses up in 355 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 6: Greenwich who had too much leverage. 356 00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 5: So you're not. 357 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 7: Concerned at this moment about the US dollar or the 358 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 7: US Treasury losing safe haven asset. 359 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 11: No. 360 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 7: Look, we're still a global reserve card. 361 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 6: We are still a global reserve currency that we have 362 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 6: a strong dollar policy. The dollar can go up and 363 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 6: down to go and look back at President Trump's first term. 364 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 6: I don't remember the exact number, but the dollar in 365 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 6: twenty seventeen went down I can't remember seven eight nine percent, 366 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 6: and then once the tax bill was done, took off, 367 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 6: took off for the remainder of his term. 368 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 7: Have you spoken to the Fed at all about contingency plans? 369 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 10: Though? 370 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 7: If financial stability risks flare. 371 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 6: Up, Chair Powell and I have breakfast every week and 372 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 6: we discuss a wide range of things, and you know, 373 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 6: our staffs are always in contact. We have a market's room, 374 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 6: they have a market's room. But specifically, did we discuss 375 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 6: some kind of a break the glass? I think we're 376 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 6: a long way from that. 377 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 7: So when was the last time you guys spoke? We 378 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 7: had breakfast last week? 379 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 6: We had breakfast last week and it was an away game. 380 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 6: I was over at the Fed. 381 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 7: And no concern so far from the Fed chair and 382 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 7: what he saw on the treasury market. 383 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 6: I think we would have heard from the Fed chair. 384 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 6: I think we heard from Governor Collins of Boston on Friday. 385 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 6: We heard from Governor Weller today on his thoughts on 386 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 6: what tariffs means. So seems like business as usual. 387 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 3: Secretary Scott Besson speaking with Bloomberg Televisions and Marie Hord 388 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 3: during Catch the full interview on the Bloomberg Talks podcast. 389 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 3: Subscribed to hear all of our high profile discussions anywhere 390 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 3: you get your podcasts. 391 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: John repeating some of our top stories this morning. China 392 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: has ordered as Airlines not to take any further deliveries 393 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 2: of Boeing jests as part of the tit for tat 394 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: trade war. 395 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: Now the Trump administration moving forward with plans to impose 396 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 3: tarifs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports. The Booth threatens to 397 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,120 Speaker 3: broaden the President's sweeping trade war. 398 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 2: And Harvard University is rejecting the Trump Administration's demands to 399 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 2: make sweeping changes on campus. The university science threats to 400 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 2: academic freedom and interference and higher Education. Will have more 401 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 2: in those stories coming up on Bloomberg Daybreak. And now 402 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: we turn to another discussion with a former US Treasury Secretary, 403 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 2: now Jennet Yellen. She joined Bloomberg TV's Kaylee Lines yesterday 404 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 2: on Bloomberg's Balance of Power discussing President Trump's tariff policy 405 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: and the outlook for US markets as well as the 406 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: health of the US economy. 407 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 6: Let's listen in it. 408 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 8: Was suggested that these reciprocal tariffs are in response to 409 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 8: unfair trade practices. That clearly wasn't the case, and for example, 410 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 8: with the European Union, the trade. 411 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 7: Barriers are very very low. 412 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 8: So I must say I'm confused about what the Trump 413 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 8: administration we'll be looking for. With Vietnam, for example, we 414 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 8: actively encouraged Vietnam to begin to produce goods that we 415 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 8: were dependent on China for for national security purposes, we 416 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 8: wanted diversification of supply chains. 417 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 11: I don't think there. 418 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 8: Was anything unanticipated or inappropriate about having a trade deficit 419 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 8: with Vietnam. I find it very difficult to know what 420 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 8: the Trump administration will be looking for or expecting well, 421 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 8: And of course China. 422 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 14: Xi Jinping himself was discussing trade with Vietnam today on 423 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 14: the subject of Shei and of the Chinese government, which 424 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 14: of course you had many conversations with over your tenure 425 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 14: as Treasury Secretary. You made tracks to Beijing yourself. Given 426 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 14: your interactions with China and the way in which they 427 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 14: have responded to the tariffs the administration has levied on 428 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 14: Chinese imports, do you see them as willing to come 429 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 14: to the table on this one or are we stuck 430 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 14: in a dangerous gain of chicken. 431 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 8: Well, I think they've made clear that they would like 432 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 8: to de escalate this conflict and remove their own trade 433 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 8: barriers the retaliation they have announced and see our trade 434 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 8: barriers come down as well. I think they're tremendously damaging 435 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 8: there at levels that are almost prohibit of trade, and 436 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 8: I think it would be beneficial for both sides. I 437 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 8: will say, in the case of China, and I've made 438 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 8: this clear during my own visits there, we have legitimate 439 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 8: grievances with some of the policies that China has followed 440 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 8: to massively subsidized its export sector, its manufacturing sector, particularly 441 00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 8: advanced manufacturing, and its overall macroeconomic strategy, which places unusually 442 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 8: low emphasis on consumer spending as a source of demand 443 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 8: and really relies on flooding the world with Chinese goods. 444 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 8: I think this is legitimately damaging to the US economy 445 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 8: and something that we were discussing, and I think there 446 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 8: should be dialogue in an attempt by the Trump administration 447 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 8: to pursue this issue. Working together with our allies, I 448 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 8: think would have been a desirable approach. It's one that 449 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 8: we were committed to. But now the Trump administration is 450 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 8: really engaged in some very antagonistic initiatives relative to our 451 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 8: closest allies, and that looks like a less promising approach 452 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 8: than I would have hoped. 453 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 2: This is Bloombergy Daybreak morning podcast on the stories making 454 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 455 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 3: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am. 456 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 3: Eastern each morning on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 457 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 458 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 2: am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 459 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 460 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 2: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 461 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 2: XM Channel one twenty one. 462 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 3: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 463 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 3: now with Apple CarPlay and Android auto interfaces. 464 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 2: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
