retailers in the united states have bombarded the white house, saying that these tariffs go into effect, all them on september one, it would be a huge blow to consumers, it would raise prices, people would not go out and shop as much as they normally do, and it would be a terrible holiday shopping season in the united states. president trump appears to have been reliably spooked by all of this, and decided to delay about half the tariffs, about half the 300 billion won't go into effect until december 15th, which basically meant they were not in place for the holiday shopping period. so this reaction is more about domestic politics than really what the president is characterising it? it seems to be an admission for the first time that this does have an impact on the american consumer. that's right. that's one of the most momentous things that happened today. president trump has insisted for months that china is bearing the full brunt of these tariffs, that the chinese pay his tariffs. today we saw both his actions and in his words, was an admission that these tariffs do impact consumer p

one can understand that, given the rhetoric coming from the white house. but it is also true that there have been warnings from the democrats as well, speaker nancy pelosi has warned china about taking a strong hand in hong kong. so i think that china will be watching the us, and knowing that the us would probably respond strongly if the protesters were dealt with in a strong way, in a violent way, which of course nobody wants to see. and just briefly, where do you think things are going to go economically? do you think we are going to see big businesses moving out of hong kong at the moment? i don't, unless the situation really gets out of control. the hong kong police have said they have the situation under control and if it remains the way that it control and if it remains the way thatitis, control and if it remains the way that it is, and perhaps there is some negotiated settlement over the next few months, i think that hong kong will easily recover. the business functions that it provides are vital, and it will take more than that to dislodge it. all

critics fear such a move would dramatically increase the time children spend in custody but the white house contends the 20—day rule is a loophole which often leads to families being released into the us pending court appearances which they deliberately fail to attend. president trump blames it for the sharp increase in illegal crossings and believes the prospect of indefinite detention would send a powerful message to others thinking of making the journey. are building tremendous numbers of miles of wall in different locations and all comes together like a beautiful puzzle. when they see you can't get into the united states or when they see if you do get into the united states, they will be brought back to their country, it won't matter if they get in or not because we are doing that, they won't come. the rule allowing for indefinite detention at the border has to be approved by a judge and there is every chance it would then face legal challenges but regardless of the outcome, such a move sends a powerful message to donald trump's supporters ahead of next year's presidential elect
