 Donald Trump risks taking the blame for a global recession if he continues his trade war with China, the UK prime minister Boris Johnson said ahead of their meeting at the G7 summit.
 
The two leaders met for breakfast in Biarritz on Sunday morning. In advance of their meeting, Johnson warned Trump that his trade war was “not the way to proceed,” and risked pushing the global economy into a downturn.
 
“Apart from anything else, those who support the tariffs are at risk of incurring the blame for the downturn in the global economy irrespective of whether or not that is true,” he told reporters on Saturday.
 
He said other countries, including the UK are “at risk of being implicated in this.”
 
“We [the UK] face tariffs of altogether £2.25 billion – that’s the value of the goods affected, £1.1 billion on whisky alone – that we could face if this goes on. This is not the way to proceed.”
 
He called on the president to change tack and go for an “opening up of global trade,” instead.
 
“I want to see a dialling down of tensions and I want to see tariffs come off,” he said.
 
 Johnson also urged Trump to drop restrictions on UK goods entering US markets as part of a potential post-Brexit trade deal.
 
“It’s not just beef or lamb that is currently banned from entering the US, in spite of their commitment to overturn that prohibition in 2014,” Johnson said.
 
“Melton Mowbray pork pies, which are sold in Thailand and in Iceland, are currently unable to enter the US market because of some sort of Food and Drug Administration restriction.”
 
Trump later denied that he was coming under pressure from other world leaders to back down in his trade war with China, saying “nobody would tell me that.” He added that “I think they respect the trade war.”
 
Speaking to reporters alongside Johnson, ahead of their meeting, Trump also praised him as a “great prime minister” and the “right man” to deliver Brexit.
 
“He needs no advice, he is the right man for the job,” Trump said.
 
“I’ve been saying that for a long time. Didn’t make your predecessor [Theresa May] very happy, but I’ve been saying that for a long time.”

don't be silly , the outcome already out there, massive unemployment is happening now in China, that you won't know,business shut down everywhere, currency devalued , food price sky rocketing ,massive foreign deinvestment , all these are fact , not imagination,

The RMB is not convertible except for the amount marked for trade and investment. China is purposely devaluing it agst USD. It is foolhardy to try to prop up RMB in face of trade war as the Duck would like. With limited capital flight, it should be able to weather uncertain times.

Just listen to what Ray Dalio, the hedge fund manager of Bridgewater Investment said when asked by the audience abt China's debt. He said China's debt are all internal n can be proactively managed. Ray Dalio has lived in China for over 10 years. It is a talk at a forum in US (avaliable in Utube)

"America system is broken" simply means that wealth is not equally shared among its citizens. The US n western powers benefited from globalization but the income of the ordinary citizens dropped. The question is where the benefits went to? It went to the few percentage of the richest. The yellow vest in France vent their anger at Macron while Trump created a narrative that only China benefited.

In the China, 88% of the population has been pulled out of poverty. Otherwise, the CCP would have been overthrown long ago.

But this does not have a connection with stock mart performance in US. The rich, the hedge funds .. have all the means to play the market up n down.
