if the u.s. designates auto imports a threat to national security, which they could do, will not be a tipping point for the ecb to offer banks new long-term loans. that banks need more cheap funding. mark: i think it will be a tipping point. i think the ecb may already be over that tipping point. i think there's a good chance that, by march, they will be offering new lending. in many ways, because we have been focused on the u.s.-china trade war, we seem to be underestimating how drastic the slowdown is in europe. obviously, the data there has been terrible over the past several months. the deterioration has taken many by surprise, how strong it has been. if we get a u.s.-china trade deal, there are a couple of things to think about. enough forpensate growth in europe such that global growth starts rising again, or will they sort of balance each other out? a secondary issue, will china and the u.s. reach a deal and suddenly europe will be the new victim, sort of the one left out. whatever happens

the u.s. vice president mike pence is in colombia to discuss as he put it out of the venezuela crisis well back home the u.s. treasury department has now sanctioned four venezuelan officials aligned with president nicolas maduro. already passed a message to the. self-proclaimed interim president one guy i don't know that the us is one hundred percent behind eric only taking part in a meeting of the regional lima group bloc aiming to discuss humanitarian shipments to venezuela and how to resolve the situation u.s. secretary of state said washington will come to the aid of those wanting to oust president maduro by any means necessary bridger was the wonder standard that the venezuelan people have made it's days numbered continue to build up a global coalition to put to put force behind the voice which said every options on the table we're going to do the things that need to be done. all the turmoil in venezuela has been heightened by the debate over whether to allow u.s. aid into the country tru

war from the u.s. that man has very strong connections within the venezuelan military as well as among international partners such as russia and china and he's now trying to portray himself as the third option a consensus candidate he hopes to run for president if the elections are indeed called and you can watch this interview in full on worlds apart this coming sunday there are many many interesting moments and it's a very interesting look at the country outside the either or framing that the united states is trying to push on the venezuelan. votes right as well a base journalist paul dobson believes that if he were to ask for u.s. military intervention it would lead to disaster. i think it's a very foolish move by one where you know. if you have any chance of achieving his political objective of ousting the elected government he's going to need popular support here in venezuela he will not be able to do that just on the back of the us for foreign military intervention is the lesson we could be learn

u.s. china trade relations today a top u.s. business lobby said a majority of its members were in favor of retaining terrorists on chinese goods the president of the american chamber of commerce in china stressed that forty seven percent of the bodies members expect washington to look out for the interests of u.s. business and the world's second largest economy. despite optimistic statements coming out of the white house about progress toward settling the u.s. chinese trade dispute the american chamber of commerce in china has sounded a note of caution a survey in november and december showed that a significant minority of three hundred fourteen companies expected relations to deteriorate nearly half wanted the u.s. to take a harder official line with beijing. so forty seven percent or almost one out of every two responses indicated that they would like the u.s. government to advocate more strongly for a level playing field and that figure is almost twice what it was a year ago so i think

i u.s. coast guard officer has been accused of a terror plot aimed at high-profile democrats and journalists. officials say he stockpiled weapons in a washington suburb. they also accuse him of plotting to kill house speaker nancy pelosi and a handful of other democratic senators. tv news anchors were also on the list. federal reserve policymakers see 2019 is marking the end of the balance sheet runoff, but they haven't ruled out more interest rate increases. that comes from the minutes of last month's meeting. there was no talk of an interest rate cut. the u.s. and china edging closer to a trade deal. bloomberg learning negotiators are working on multiple memos of understanding. they would form the basis of a final agreement. they would also cover the major areas of dispute including agriculture, intellectual property. dover break it is expected this week during talks in washington. today, the world's largest shipping line lost the 10th of its value. it is being hurt by the global manufactu
