Speaker 7: And it'll happen quickly and perhap aps violently, but they

78
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 7: will disarmed.

79
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,280

86
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,240

Speaker 2: weakening labor market.

95
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 10: For the last few months, we've been able to maintain

96
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 10: our strictive stance because the labor market was still pretty solid.

97
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 10: I think that the data we got right after the

98
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 10: July meeting showed that which adjusted back all the way

99
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 10: through May, showed that the labor market has actually softened

100
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 10: pretty considerably and puts us in a situation where the

101
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,600

Speaker 2: we get more with Bloomberg's John Tucker.

110
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 11: US bank. Mom Donnie is the socialist candidate and Democratic

111
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,839

112
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 11: says he will offer to help. As he put it,

113
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 11: I have to deal with the world I got, you know,

114
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 11: not the world I want. And if he becomes mayor,

115
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 11: so be it. Mam Donnie has already held several sitdowns

116

Speaker 11: or private phone calls with executives in New York, including Diamond,

117
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 11: as part of a charm offensive. Diamond, who previously referred

118
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 11: to Mom Donnie is more of a Marxist than a socialist,

119
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 11: so that it's important for business leaders or in odds

120

121
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,880

Speaker 4: the final signature needed to force a House floor vote

135
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,440

00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 13: Thanks Karen brilliant starting pitching as lift of the LA

162
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 13: Dodgers to a two to nothing lead in the NLCS

163
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 13: the night after Blake Snell went eight innings, allowed only

164
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 13: one hit, Yashinobu Yamamoto went nine innings gave up just

165
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 13: three hits. The Dodgers won five to one in Milwaukee.

166
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 13: They go home up to nothing in the series. Game

167
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 13: three of the ALCS. Tonight in Seattle, the Mariners lead

168
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 13: Toronto two games to nine. Edmundton oiler is a two

169
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 13: to nothing shut out of the Rangers, who are the

170
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 13: first team ever to get shut out in each of

171
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 13: their first three home games to start a season. That's

172
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 13: a Bloomberg Sports update.

173
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 6: Stay with us.

174
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: More from Bloomberg day Break coming up after this.

175
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio nationwide, Serious exam and

176
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the Bloomberg

177
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: Business app. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.

178
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. Cooking oil is now heating

179
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: up US China trade tensions. President Trump's threatening to stop

180
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: buying it from China because Beijing isn't buying soybeans from America.

181
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 3: It's rattling the market, even as US Trader Representative Jamison

182
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: Greer saying things will work out between the world's two

183
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 3: biggest economies.

184
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: There's always some level of dramatics to it, where they

185
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: will you know, if we take measures, you know, little

186
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 2: measures here, and they they'll threaten to bring down hell

187
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: fire and things like that.

188
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 6: That was US Trade Rep.

189
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: Jamison Greer on SANDBC before the president's latest trade salvo.

190
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: For more were joined by Bloomberg News Chief Asia correspondent

191
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: Rosalind Matheson and Roz. We've talked before about the US

192
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: and China positioning, have trade talks expected later this month?

193
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 6: How did cooking oil get caught in the middle? Good morning,

194
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 6: Good morning.

195
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 12: Well, yes, it's now moved from shipping to cooking oil,

196
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 12: it seems. And Donald Trump, as you was saying, using

197
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 12: that to say that he might retaliate for what he

198
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 12: sees as Beijing's refusal to buy American soybeans. The interesting

199
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 12: thing in all of this is that cooking oil is

200
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 12: actually only a very small import for China. Only a

201
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 12: small amount of cooking oil does come in from China

202
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 12: to the US in terms of specifically just how much

203
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 12: soybeans China has, you know, typically imported from the US.

204
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 12: So it's a bit of an asymmetrical thing to come

205
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 12: at in terms of Donald Trump's comments overnight, because again

206
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 12: soybean's far Outwait, whatever the US brings in when it

207
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 12: comes to processed food all. But it's just now the

208
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 12: sign of how broad and complex these trade tensions are.

209
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 12: So we've gone from you know, rare earths and high

210
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 12: tech and chips, to shipping to soy and now to

211
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 12: cooking oil. And obviously there are other aspects of the

212
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 12: trade relationship potentially to come. And is this again simply

213
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 12: positioning before a potential meeting between Queen Cjmping and Donald Trump.

214
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 12: We do know from US officials at least that the

215
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 12: lines of communication are open. I mean, Jamison Greer said

216
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 12: that as well, that there was a meeting as recently

217
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 12: as Monday between some unnamed US and Chinese officials, so

218
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 12: they are at least talking to each other. The question is,

219
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 12: in all of this tit for tat that's going on,

220
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 12: desire the country overstep in a way that puts the

221
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 12: other country in a difficult spot and makes a meeting

222
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 12: impossible for Trump and Seed to agree to.

223
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: Do we know anything further ras about what's come out

224
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: of those talks that the Trump administration has talked about

225
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 3: this week, other than the idea that they are still talking, No,

226
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: we know very.

227
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 12: Little about those conversations and again we don't even know

228
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 12: from Jameson Greer who was involved in that conversation that

229
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 12: potentially happened at the start of this week. We also

230
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 12: know that the US Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson said that

231
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 12: he was expecting to meet the Chinese Vice president one

232
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 12: more time before the end of the month. Is this

233
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 12: about trying to get the foundations for Sieging Ping and

234
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 12: Donald Trump to sit in a room and come out

235
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 12: with something, either extension of the trade truth that they've

236
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 12: got or something more tangible and lasting. And it seems

237
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 12: to be that they're obviously trying to clear the pathway

238
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 12: through all these different tension points to get there, but

239
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 12: we have very little sense so far of what exactly

240
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 12: those conversations have been like.

241
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: Well, that raises the question then about whether all these

242
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 3: threats are just that threats, or whether we could see

243
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: something concrete in terms of shifting purchases or even that

244
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: thread of one hundred percent tariffs on Chinese imports on

245
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: November first? Is November one the next tipping point here?

246
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 3: We got about a minute left.

247
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 12: Potentially, and obviously a lot would depend on that meeting

248
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 12: and what comes out of it and how much they

249
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 12: use their personal rapport with each other to come to

250
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 12: an agreement. But you know, you've got Sieging Ping who's

251
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 12: got a lot at stake at home with his economy,

252
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 12: versus Donald Trump, who can be quite impulsive in the

253
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 12: minute in announcing things or deciding things, and we've seen

254
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 12: that before, and he can also change his mind very quickly.

255
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 12: So that does inject a high level of uncertainty into

256
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 12: this into this meeting. Does Trump just feel in the

257
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 12: minute he's not got what he wanted and so he

258
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 12: slaps extra tariffs on It's very hard to say, but

259
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 12: certainly this climate of constant you know, tit for tat

260
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 12: action and threats against each other is not conducive to

261
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 12: going into it to a meeting where you're hoping to

262
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 12: get some kind of tangible outcome.
