well the point of the e.u. countermeasures for example really isn't to knock off points off the us is g.d.p. but rather to make a political statement by highlighting american iconic products and products tied into republican constituencies and as we know the chinese are set to set to do the same they're going to impose they're probably going to impose tariffs on products coming from the states that make up trumps voter base so no country is in grave economic danger just yet but again the problem is this if it is whether this escalates and. in confidence and rules based trade is then eroded and that creates a free for all and everyone loses something so like are does have a point there. for us in frankfurt. ok we don't get to go to the caribbean that often but it's time to go to barbados a place drowning in debt right now the world's fourth highest debt to g.d.p. ratio behind japan greece and sudan now the i.m.f. is stepping in to get back in the black and you prime minister mia mostly recently announcing the co
