And 222 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 5: eventually we'll be reducing taxes. 223 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 8: Very substantially for the people of our country because the money. 224 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 5: Is so great coming in from Paris. 225 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 2: And that was the President speaking with reporters in New 226 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 2: Jersey last night for the latest onwere things stand now 227 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 2: in the global trade war. We're joined by Bloomberg News 228 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: Senior editor Bill Ferries. Bill, good morning. The talk we're 229 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: hearing from the White House is that one hundred and 230 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 2: forty five percent tariffs are going to force China to 231 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 2: the negotiating table. 232 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 12: Is that what we're seeing at this point? Good morning, 233 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 12: Good morning, Nathan, Thanks for having me. I think that 234 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 12: is still very much an argument or a theory that's 235 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 12: up in the air both sides in this trade war, 236 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 12: kind of refusing to blink. So far, there have been 237 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 12: some exceptions to those high tariffs on the US side, 238 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 12: but by and large they're in place and seeing as 239 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 12: starting to have a big impact on trade. When you 240 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 12: look at the number of cargo container ships coming from China, 241 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 12: we know those numbers are down. We know that the 242 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 12: heads of companies like Walmart and Target and Home Depot 243 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 12: were at the White House last week arguing arguing for 244 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 12: this period of high terriffs to be short. I think 245 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 12: we're still waiting to see in the big economic indicators 246 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 12: how serious of a hit this will be for either 247 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 12: economy China or the US. But I think analysts say 248 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 12: it's that impact is going to be made clear very soon. 249 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: But apart from the hard data, I mean, you mentioned 250 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 2: some of the cargo shipments being reduced already, and we're 251 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: already starting to see some of the major companies that 252 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 2: are consumer facing in China appearing to be passing along 253 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 2: a lot of these higher import taxes directly to consumers. 254 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 12: Now that's right. I mean we're talking about some of 255 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 12: those fast fashion companies like Chian and Temu. They are 256 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 12: already marking up their prices for deliveries to the US 257 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 12: by in some cases more than two hundred percent. So 258 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 12: that's something that you know, people will have to think 259 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 12: about when they're doing some of their online orders and 260 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 12: have to think about whether that's you know, they can 261 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 12: replace that with either products here in the US or 262 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 12: products somewhere else online. But retailers are starting to feel 263 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 12: the pinch of the tariffs and starting to pass those 264 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 12: costs along. I think, is this builds up, particularly if 265 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 12: there are fewer cargo ships coming into the US, you're 266 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 12: going to have to You're going to see retailers running 267 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 12: out of some of the inventory that got built up 268 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 12: ahead of those tariffs ahead of Liberation Day on April second, 269 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 12: and that's going to start having an impact in the 270 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 12: economy as well. 271 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 2: And there's this idea as well, particularly floated by the 272 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary, that if the US starts to get more 273 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 2: trade deals with some of these Asian trading partners like 274 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 2: South Korea and Japan, that could put more pressure on 275 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 2: China to come to the table as well. Are we 276 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 2: starting to see evidence that that's happening. 277 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 12: Well, we've seen, actually we've seen some pushback from Japan 278 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 12: so far on trying to put restrictions on their trade 279 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 12: with China. I suspect that's a position a lot of 280 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 12: Southeast Asian nations in particular will have. Usually, the US 281 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 12: and China are the two biggest trading partners for most 282 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 12: countries in Asia, so it's going to be they don't 283 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 12: want to do without either one. But there's gonna be 284 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 12: a lot of scrutiny of that first or first two 285 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 12: trade deals that come through. We know Japan is supposedly 286 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 12: near the top of the list India as well, there's 287 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 12: gonna be a lot of scrutiny about whether whatever they 288 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 12: agree to is really a framework that a lot of 289 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 12: countries can follow, or if it's going to be very 290 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 12: much ad hoc and particular to each country. I think 291 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 12: one big issue so far as there's just been a 292 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 12: lot of confusion in terms of what country need to 293 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 12: do to try to keep that ninety day reprieve as 294 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 12: a more permanent feature of the new world of tariffs now. 295 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 2: I guess there's an open question as well as to 296 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: whether investors are going to take a framework for an 297 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: agreement as enough as opposed to a broader trade deal 298 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: when the Treasury Secretary has said something like a deal 299 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 2: with China could take two to three years in our 300 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 2: last thirty seconds bill. The market reaction to this trade 301 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 2: war has been very tough on the president in the 302 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: first one hundred days. 303 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 12: Yeah, we one hundred days in the SNP is looking 304 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 12: like it's down about eight percent since Donald Trump's inauguration. 305 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 12: That would be it's on track for its worst run 306 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 12: in the first one hundred days of a new administration 307 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 12: since Gerald Ford in nineteen seventy four following Nixon's resignation. 308 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 12: So that is not what people expected, I think when 309 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 12: Trump took off, as they thought there'd be more of 310 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 12: a stock market boom.
