CHARMS!

THIS IS ABOUT SEVEN OR EIGHT

MILES SOUTH WHERE THE G7 WILL

BE GOING ON.

THE LEADERS HAVE BEEN AT DINNER

NOW FOR A LITTLE MORE THAN

THREE AND HALF HOURS.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY IN

FRANCE, IF DINNER IS LESS THAN

FIVE HOURS IT IS CONSIDERED

FAST FOOD.

THEY HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT,

THE LEADERS BEGINNING WITH THE

GLOBAL ECONOMY.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY

WILL BE TALKING ABOUT, GLOBAL

SECURITY.

GLOBAL WARMING, INCLUDING

MASSIVE OUT-OF-CONTROL

WILDFIRES IN THE AMAZON RAIN

FOREST AS WELL AS ECONOMIC

INEQUALITY.

NATIONS THAT ARE REPRESENTED

GROWTH AND TRYING TO GET MORE

ROBUST THAN IT IS NOW.

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SPEAKING

WITH HIS FELLOW G7 LEADERS AT

THE DINNER TONIGHT.

AND HE WILL DO IT AGAIN

TOMORROW.

TO TALK ABOUT WAYS TO HAVE THE

GLOBAL ECONOMY FLOURISH TO A

GREATER DEGREE THAN IT HAS BY

ADOPTING THE SAME TYPE OF

ECONOMIC REFORMS THAT HE HAS

AND THAT IS CUTTING TAXES AND

CUTTING REGULATION.

AT LUNCH EARLIER TODAY THE

FRENCH PRESIDENT, EMMANUEL

MACRON, SAYS THERE THINKING OF

CUTTING TAXES TO SEE IF THEY

CAN BOOST THEIR ECONOMY THAT

WAY.

AND THEY SAY THAT IT REALLY IS

THE MODEL FOR THE REST OF THE

WORLD.

>> OUR ECONOMY IS ONE THAT IS

HUMMING.

AND I HEAR EVERY SINGLE DAY

THAT GERMAN CEO'S ARE RACING

INTO THE U.S. BECAUSE OF THE

PROGRESS STRATEGIES.

THE GERMAN ECONOMY IS

STRUGGLING, PEOPLE ARE LOOKING

AT THE LARGEST ECONOMY IN

EUROPE AND THEY ARE TRYING TO

FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO AND WHAT

WE ARE TRYING TO SAY IS, WHEN

WE GO TO THE G7 AND WERE

SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT GROWTH,

FOLLOW US, DO WHAT WE DID.

REPORTER: OF COURSE NOT

EVERYTHING IS ROSES, THERE IS A

LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT THE

FORECAST FOR WHAT THE GLOBAL

ECONOMY WILL DO AS A RESULT OF

THE UNITED STATES AND JAPAN

ESCALATING THEIR TRADE WAR.

COUNTRIES ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY

THEY ARE SLAPPING NEW TARIFFS

ON GOODS.

THAT WILL START SEPTEMBER 1.

CHINA IS GOING TO INCREASE

TARIFFS ON $75 BILLION WORTH OF

AMERICAN GOODS.THE PRESIDENT

CURRENT AND PLANNED TARIFFS

AGAINST CHINA.

ANSWER REACTION SOME SOME

LEADERS HERE.

BORIS JOHNSON, THE NEW PRIME

MINISTER, WILL YOU TALK TO

PRESIDENT TRUMP ABOUT DIALING

BACK ON HIS TRADE WAR WITH

CHINA?

BORIS JOHNSON ANSWERING YES,

YES INDEED, I WILL.

AND THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL

PRESIDENT, VERY CRITICAL.

LISTEN HERE.

>> IF SOMEONE FOR EXAMPLE, THE

UNITED STATES AND PRESIDENT

TRUMP USE TARIFFS AND TAXATION

AS POLITICAL INSTRUMENT, THIS

CONFRONTATION CAN BE RISKY FOR

THE WHOLE WORLD INCLUDING THE

EU THIS IS WHY WE NEED THE G7

AND THIS IS WHY -- I HOPE THAT

WE WILL BE WISER AFTER.
