As the EU prepares to impose additional, heavy tariffs on Chinese-made electric cars, Spain’s prime minister has called on both sides to find a compromise to avoid a trade war. Pedro Sanchez made the comments during a trip to Beijing where he met President Xi Jinping. Plus, the British government says it has reached a new, improved deal with Tata Steel for the thousands of workers at the Port Talbot Steelworks who are set to be made redundant soon.

Washington Regime has been known to manipulate economic data for years,
jobless data and inflation data are not worth the paper they published on.
Just ask any american, are they seeing lower prices or are they suffering severe cutbacks in spending??
They are doing this interest rate cut to help Kamala election.
@edl7454
Stay far far away from the Chinese.
@timothyshiu2263
Please trade goods, stop trade politics.

Biden must impose sanctions on Germany and Spain for not complying with EU/US tariffs on CCP cars..
@nukiolbartes6279
Chinese gives subsidies to companies that want to innovate. EU give bailouts to companies that failed.
@TheKkpop1
Spain voted for tariff against Chinese EV. It's stabbing Chinese at the back while begging China no reciprocal tariff.

Kenya is for African Kenyans. India, get out. India should first develop their slum country.
@NoFrillz-G
The EU will need to follow the Americans or else. Or else what? they will leave the continent and then you will have to deal with Russia alone. Wise up. Follow suit or fallout.
@hiro0500
Get ready for world recession
@mail4500-bx9lb
EU should be renamed to AU
@mail4500-bx9lb
EU is really a joke, is it representing European or American interest?
@kakacicimakutuyoung
Spain is definitely much smarter than Canada who is crying now over the Canola oil spilt 😂
@louisemann3306
Both Germany and Spain, the 1st and 2nd largest auto manufacturers in the EU, are urging the EU to drop the tariffs. So who are the tariffs protecting, the United States? The EU seems to always put the interests of the US above the EU.
@waynesilva9157
The EU should be dissolved.
@DouglasW-m9z
China to install 100% on all agricultural products,. Should ban them altogether
@kevbrown1867
Canada put 100% tariff on China EV basically banning them
Trudeau says China dumping over supply yet Chinese buy 80 % of the cars they make and don’t even sell in Canada ?
80 % of the autos made in Canada are exported out of country 🤔
Trudeau says China subsidizes their EV companies yet Trudeau gave 46 billion in free money to American,European and Japanese car makers ?
Trudeau appears totally confused
@oneplanetearth
Heavily subsidized is western narrative because China gets CHEAP energy from Russia elsewhere NATO energy is rising thru the roof We dont mind getting CHEAP China EV
@JUSTICESHIPALANA
I have lot of pork in my backyard 😂😂 I can sell it to china
@nicks2106
Yeah, my pork is not selling 😂😂
@tianfangyu
china subsidize their EV companys so that EU cousumers can save their money, how sweet
@Crom21
what happened to globalisation?
@hugolizard
These western media makes no sense when it comes to flaming China. You don’t resolve an economic slump by giving money to local car manufacturers so they can sell subsidized cars in another country.
@TAL142
Spain didn't have to vote for the tariff. Is this another one of those after the fact lip service. Just like how the Europeans murdered most of the native Americans, Canadians and Australians and then say they are sorry about it 100 years later.
@wataric1600
The host said China has excessive subsidies for their EV. Compared to EU or America, who subsidises many things at d perfect rate? 😂
@spikermike2843
Beijing isnt dumb 😂 they know Sanchez was just paying lip service to get something for Spain, but Spain votes for tariffs
@b.w.2157
Raise tariffs higher!!!
@amazman977
China is solving their air pollution problem from using West EU ICE cars.
Make own EV cars is only choice where the West and Japanese still keep producing ICE cars doesn't go well with China mission to clean up their air carbon pollution.
@letmejustsay
EV cars is a failing market anyway. People are losing interest in EVs. Hydrogen cars are the way of the future.
@spinningweb749
Spain to China : Tarrif is not my idea. This is France's idea.
@Reddylion
Buy evs.. Not nesseserily chinese or wa cko elon musks, that's an option too.
@badbad-cat
Europe has become American puppet 🤦🏻♂️
@yunlan996
Trade is a mutually beneficial way of doing business. There are gains and losses. If you set up trade barriers just because you can’t compete, both sides will lose in a trade war! For example, the EU has promoted the development of electric vehicles in Europe through tariffs on electric vehicles. Who can you sell them to? The US market, the Chinese market, or the Japanese market?
@BrandyHeng007
Quit EU , Join BRICS
@amunra5330
Competition is good. This trade war with China will not end well for the EU.
@tonyv596
Spain, Germany and Norway don't agree with big brother USA…they will pay a price I heard.

@Bjonnet55
I don’t know why the USA keep safe guarding that weak continent who fails to understand that China value is incompatible , China will dominate EU economy , I want Trump to win and pull out of weak China Europe blindness
@sakshambhadoria9998
There are a lot of divergences within Europe on the issue of China.
@MegaKL123456
Eu can sell products. To China. But Chinese products can't sell to eu. Wake up eu. Chinese are way smarter than you
@paytonmcdermott9111
Really incredible how fast facts and evidence are thrown out the window when talking about china
