01:39Had to say when they missed.
01:45China and the United States can move beyond the so-called Thukididi's trap
01:49and set a new example in bilateral relations between major powers.
01:54We can work together to address global challenges injecting stability to the world
01:58and we can improve the well-being of our peoples and the shared future of humanity,
02:02building a good future for our bilateral relations.
02:09We've had a fantastic relationship.
02:11We've gotten along when there were difficulties.
02:13We worked it out.
02:15On behalf of all of the great delegation that we have,
02:18we have the greatest businessmen, the biggest and I guess the best in the world.
02:23And they're here today to pay respects to you and to China.
02:26And now for some analysis on this visit,
02:29I'm joined here in the studio by our US politics expert,
02:32that is Stefan Kroba.
02:33Stefan, good morning.
02:34Good morning, Maeve.
02:35Tell us more about this trip.
02:36What exactly should we be looking out for?
02:39Well, Maeve, they have started their talks already.
02:42We don't know the detailed agenda,
02:44but they're expected to discuss a whole range of thorny issues,
02:48the core of which is trade.
02:50And Trump himself, just before his departure,
02:53said that he'll be talking about trade with Xi Jinping more than anything else.
02:58Now, Trump is flanked by 17 CEOs of big American corporations,
03:03Elon Musk among them.
03:06And he's seeking to strike deals with China
03:08to have them buy more American products from food to aircraft.
03:13Remember the trade war with China that Trump started
03:16has sent the bilateral trade into freefall
03:20and forced companies from both sides of the Pacific to regroup.
03:24Now, the Chinese side wants a more balanced economic relationship,
03:30a more stable relationship,
03:32and they seem to have the better cards.
03:34They are sitting on most of the world's rare earth reserves
03:38that are used for basically every tech product that has a battery.
03:43They control the critical supply lines,
03:46and they have invested heavily in green tech,
03:50in green energy.
03:51And that makes them suffer much less than other countries
03:54from the current energy crunch
03:58and the recent spike in oil prices due to the war in Iran.
04:03And this is where Trump's problems start.
04:05The Iran war that he triggered more than two months ago
04:07has led to a global energy crunch,
04:10sky-high oil prices and gas prices,
04:13and plummeting approval ratings at home.
04:15So he doesn't seem to have a strategy
04:18to end the war in Iran.
04:21And now he wants the Chinese to help him
04:23find a diplomatic solution.
04:25But so far, Beijing has shown very little interest
04:28to wade into this conflict
04:30that they consider entirely to Washington's making.
04:34Instead, Xi prefers to let the U.S.
04:37embroil itself in another Middle East war.
04:40So getting the Chinese to do something about Iran,
04:44that is probably Trump's biggest challenge here.
04:46Okay.
04:46And meanwhile, of course, today in Brussels,
04:48the EU institutions are closed for the bank holiday,
04:50but they are keeping a close eye very nervously.
04:54Yes, indeed, Maeve.
04:55They are watching the summit from the sidelines
04:58because there's not much else they can do.
05:00And they are quite nervous
05:03because really they can't be optimistic
05:07about any outcome
05:08as they risk being squeezed between superpowers
05:12to superpowers who don't care much
05:14about European interests.
05:16If Trump and Xi struck a tactical deal
05:19over what we call managed trade
05:23that would give the U.S. preferential access
05:26to rare earths, for example,
05:27that would leave Europe with shortages
05:30and trade restrictions
05:32that put a lot of pressure on European companies.
05:35That is about the nightmare scenario
05:38for the European Union.
05:39On the other hand,
05:40if U.S.-China trade relations
05:43further escalated and became a trade war,
05:47that could hit European industries
05:49through weaker demand,
05:51globally disrupt supply change
05:54and financial volatility.
05:56So it's almost a lose-lose situation
05:59for the Europeans, Maeve.
06:00Okay.
06:01Shefran Krober, thank you so much
06:02for that analysis.
06:03And as you heard there,
06:04an interesting takeaway from this visit
06:06is the fact that some of the most richest
06:08and most powerful tech companies
06:10in the world are also present.
06:12Our Jakob Janis has the low down.
06:15Hey, how's your first day?
06:17Because Donald Trump has just landed in Beijing
06:20for a summit that feels less like diplomacy
06:22and more like a Silicon Valley board meeting.
06:24He hasn't just brought officials
06:26and one could say he has arrived
06:28with an AI cabinet
06:29to navigate high-stakes tech Cold War.
06:32All right, so who's on the guest list
06:34and should Europe be worried?
06:38First, Elon Musk is there
06:39to protect Tesla's massive Chinese footprint
06:42and also his interest as head of XAI.
06:45And he's accompanied by Tim Cook
06:47who is managing his final lab as Apple's CEO,
06:51balancing billions in sales
06:52with a shift of production away from China.
06:55And there is also the king of chips,
06:57Nvidia's Jensen Huang,
06:59who joined at the last minute
07:01to lobby for the sale of powerful H200 AI chips,
07:05which are currently stalled
07:06by US and Chinese regulations.
07:08And joining them are the giants of the supply chain.
07:11Micron is there to fight Beijing's ban
07:13on American memory chips,
07:15while Qualcomm aims to protect its role
07:17as the primary chip supplier
07:19for China's biggest smartphone brands.
07:21And they are not just talking trade.
07:23They are discussing the new age of AI-supported warfare
07:27and the risk of China copying American frontier models.
07:31So if you ever wondered
07:32what the AI industry looks like in practice,
07:34these CEOs provide the perfect picture.
07:37And that picture also highlights
07:39where Europe stands in the AI race.
07:42So if you're looking for a European OpenAI or Google,
07:45the news is grim.
07:47The continent lacks hyperscale giants.
07:50But hey, the news isn't all bad,
07:53as Europe is securing its own AI supply chain.
07:57And while superpowers fight over AI models,
07:59European firms like STMicroelectronics,
08:03Soitec and ASML
08:04provide the essential hardware to build them.
08:07And this bet is on strategic autonomy.
08:10The idea that you don't need to outspend the superpowers
08:13if you control the tools that drive the race.
08:16Huh, but will it be enough?
08:18Well, you can always ask this question
08:20to your favorite AI agent.
08:21Just remember, the answer might vary
08:24depending on whether you ask Elon Musk's Grok
08:27or Francis Mistral.
08:33That was Jakob Janis, of course,
08:35reporting for us there.
08:36And now to take a closer look
08:37at what's at stake for the EU,
08:39we can bring in Michael Bloss,
08:40a German MEP from the Green Party.
08:43MEP is working very closely on EU-China relations.
08:46We're thrilled to have you with us.
08:47Good morning.
08:48And of course, we're hearing, you know,
08:50Donald Trump saying,
08:51we're the two superpowers,
08:53referring to the US and China.
08:54So where does that leave the European Union?
08:56Sandwich somewhere in the middle.
09:00That's true.
09:01It is a moment where Europe has to realize
09:05that it is not sitting at the table
09:07when the two superpowers speak about
09:10very important things
09:11that is also determining Europe's face.
09:16So they're shaking hands
09:18over the heads of European leaders.
09:21And we have to understand
09:23that only when Europe speaks with one voice,
09:28when we are better coordinating
09:29in our China policy,
09:31but also in our US policy,
09:32we can have an influence.
09:34Well, that is the issue.
09:35You said Europeans are not around the table
09:37and everyone says,
09:38if you're not on the table,
09:38you're clearly on the menu.
09:40How can the EU and the 27 countries
09:43survive in this world
09:44where Washington and Beijing
09:45are cutting deals over Europe's head
09:47and neither obviously caring
09:49about the climate,
09:50the environment or privacy issues?
09:54Well, it seems that we have to realize
09:57that it's difficult to survive
09:59if we're not speaking with one voice.
10:02But it's really Europe is squeezed
10:04as it was said already.
10:05There is a trade war with the US happening.
10:10But also, if we look at our trade relations
10:12with China,
10:14this has really turned around now.
10:16There is a trade deficit
10:18of 360 billion euros.
10:22So the question is for us,
10:25how do we get more autonomy
10:27and more sovereignty?
10:29And I think the answer is,
10:32as I said already,
10:33speaking with one voice,
10:34it's very difficult,
10:35especially looking at the member states.
10:37And China is doing this divide
10:40and conquer policy.
10:44But it also means, for instance,
10:46with regards to energy imports,
10:50energy policy,
10:51becoming sovereign
10:53by producing our own energy.
10:56And second, I think also rare earth.
10:58Europe is absolutely dependent
11:00for all its technology on rare earth.
11:02And also here we have to diversify
11:04and not become,
11:05not being so dependent on China.
11:07And of course,
11:08Donald Trump is a very transactional president.
11:11How could deals being struck this week
11:13in Beijing impact negatively
11:15European industry?
11:19Yeah, it was already said
11:20when there is better relationships
11:22between the US and China
11:26that can result in,
11:28well, less market access,
11:30for instance,
11:31from the EU to the Chinese market.
11:36However, I think I want to also discuss
11:39another policy area,
11:41which is security.
11:43I think that's also very important
11:45and it's interesting
11:47or, well,
11:49that there is a risk
11:50that the US is less
11:55focused on Taiwan.
11:57and we see that
11:58the main security risk
12:00for Europe
12:01currently is
12:02Russia's attack
12:03on Ukraine.
12:05We heard that
12:06tonight
12:06and yesterday
12:08there was this massive drone attack
12:09and China is supporting
12:12Russia in this.
12:14If China would
12:15pull the plug
12:16on the
12:17war of Russia
12:19against Ukraine,
12:20that would really help us.
12:22but it seems
12:23that they are more
12:23entering into
12:24some kind of
12:27imperialist
12:29policies
12:30and that's really
12:31also a problem
12:32for Europe.
12:33Okay, Michael Bluss,
12:33thank you so much
12:34for waking up early
12:35on this Thursday
12:36bank holiday
12:37for joining us here
12:38live on Europe Today.
12:39I'm moving on
12:40to Bucharest
12:41where NATO Secretary-General
12:42Marco Lütze
12:43joined talks
12:44with the so-called
12:45B9 countries,
12:46mostly from the east.
12:47The idea was to beef up
12:48defence technologies.
12:50It comes as the US
12:51announced that
12:525,000 troops
12:54could be withdrawn
12:55from Germany
12:56over European countries
12:57refusal to join
12:58the war in Iran.
12:59Our NATO correspondent
13:01Shona Murray
13:01has the scoop
13:02and joins me now
13:03here on set.
13:04Good morning Shona.
13:05Just first,
13:06tell us about
13:06these meetings.
13:07Well, the B9 meeting
13:09was in Bucharest
13:09which is the central
13:11European countries
13:11like Romania,
13:12Hungary,
13:14Lithuania,
13:15Latvia,
13:16Estonia and so on
13:17and they were also
13:17joined by the Nordic countries
13:19Sweden, Denmark,
13:20Finland and so on.
13:21Also President Zelensky
13:22was there
13:23and Mark Rutte,
13:24Secretary-General of NATO.
13:25So it was an important
13:25meeting to discuss
13:26European security
13:27and joint drone production.
13:29But Mark Rutte,
13:30the Secretary-General,
13:30was also asked
13:31about this rift
13:32with Donald Trump
13:33that's ongoing with NATO.
13:34He said NATO allies
13:35have gotten the message
13:36over Iran
13:37but not quite true
13:38because if you look
13:39at Trump's message
13:40yesterday to reporters,
13:41he said that NATO
13:42was very disappointing to me.
13:44NATO was not there
13:45when we wanted them.
13:46We don't need NATO
13:47but if we need them
13:48they just weren't there.
13:49So you can see
13:50that's ongoing
13:50but lots of sources
13:52I've spoken to
13:52said that really
13:53Donald Trump
13:53is trying to distract
13:54from what is not
13:55very successful war
13:56in Iran.
13:57And meanwhile of course
13:58Shona,
13:58you have some exclusive
14:00information about
14:00these plans of the US
14:02to withdraw troops
14:02from Germany.
14:03Tell us more.
14:03So this is really
14:04interesting, Maeve
14:05because as we know
14:05the US announced
14:065,000 troops
14:07were withdrawn
14:08from NATO territory
14:09in Germany.
14:10What I heard
14:11over the last few hours
14:12and late last night
14:13it was confirmed
14:13to be by a NATO person
14:15was that instead
14:16of removing the 5,000
14:17a 4,000 troop brigade
14:19that was due to be sent
14:20from the United States
14:21to Poland
14:22has been cancelled.
14:23So in effect
14:24there's no net
14:26problem when it comes
14:27to NATO's troop force
14:28within Europe.
14:30Now take a listen
14:31to Mark Rutte
14:32the Secretary-General
14:32of NATO
14:33when he was asked
14:33about this yesterday.
14:35When you look at
14:36the US presence
14:37in Europe
14:37it is still vast
14:38and massive.
14:40And there is
14:40a clear commitment
14:41between the United States
14:42to stay involved.
14:43We know that we are
14:44investing now more
14:45in Europe.
14:45We have always known
14:46that the United States
14:47over time
14:48has to pivot more
14:49towards Asia.
14:50So we are all
14:52in this all together.
14:55And obviously
14:56it is a sovereign decision
14:57of the United States
14:58where they will
14:59bring their troops
15:00how they will do that
15:01but we do this
15:01in close consultation.
15:02Now that's Mark Rutte
15:03and he is not necessarily
15:04answering the question
15:06and this is interesting
15:07because in Poland
15:08over the past few weeks
15:09after that announcement
15:10Polish media
15:11was speculating
15:13that these troops
15:13could go from Germany
15:15to Poland.
15:16In fact the opposite
15:16is the case.
15:17A whole 4,000 troop
15:19it is a replenishment
15:20troop or brigade
15:21will now not be sent
15:22to Poland
15:23which will obviously
15:23be very difficult
15:24for them
15:24but essentially
15:25there is no net effect
15:27to NATO's troop force
15:28within
15:28US troop forces
15:30within NATO
15:31and I did get
15:31a confirmation
15:32on this
15:33from a NATO
15:33military official
15:34who said
15:35NATO rotational forces
15:38do not factor
15:39into NATO's
15:39deterrence
15:40and defence plan.
15:41So it looks like
15:41this issue
15:42has been
15:43somewhat resolved
15:44for the betterment
15:45of everybody
15:46including
15:46US-NATO relations.
15:48OK, Shona Murray
15:49our NATO correspondent
15:50thank you so much
15:51for that very
15:51comprehensive analysis
15:53but now to another story
15:55that's making the rounds
15:56here in Brussels
15:57the EU has stopped
15:58short of heeding
15:59a petition
16:00by over 1 million
16:01Europeans
16:02about banning
16:03unscientific conversion
16:04therapy
16:05designed of course
16:05to change people's
16:06identity
16:07and sexual orientation.
16:08The UN
16:09is calling
16:10for a worldwide ban.
16:12Our EU correspondent
16:13Angela Scudgin
16:14spoke exclusively
16:15to the EU Commissioner
16:16for Equality
16:17Hadjil Abib.
16:18Yeah, it's a torture
16:20and it's a physical
16:22and psychological
16:23harassment
16:24that could lead
16:24to deep depression
16:26or suicide
16:28and that's why
16:30we need really
16:31to react
16:32and to combat
16:33these practices
16:34and these
16:35young citizens
16:36who gather
16:371 million signatures
16:38succeed
16:39to create awareness.
16:41We've launched
16:42a study
16:43and we are going
16:44to organise
16:45to put into
16:46a place
16:46a forum
16:46for discussion
16:47between member states
16:49between the commission
16:50already
16:51eight member states
16:52took
16:53the decision
16:54in their
16:55legislative
16:56national legislation
16:58to ban
16:58these practices
16:59but we need
17:00to see
17:00all of them
17:02and we are going
17:03to encourage
17:04them
17:04and to show
17:05the path
17:05and by
17:06taking
17:07this recommendation
17:09we take
17:10a very strong
17:11stance
17:11we need
17:12to see
17:12these practices
17:14banned
17:14in our union
17:15but you just
17:16highlighted that
17:17eight member states
17:18have banned this
17:19how are you going to
17:19convince the other
17:20dozens that
17:21haven't done this so far
17:22what pressure
17:23are you going to put on them?
17:24by exchanging
17:25best practices
17:26so we will show
17:28first of all
17:28that it is possible
17:29to ban
17:30no matter
17:31what is
17:32your
17:32political
17:33architecture
17:34I mean
17:35Germany has
17:36taken this
17:36bold step
17:37Belgium
17:40Spain
17:40many countries
17:41and
17:42three countries
17:43at least
17:44are
17:46monitoring
17:47are
17:48willing
17:49to take
17:49this kind
17:50of
17:51decision
17:51and
17:53I think
17:54we need
17:55to create
17:55more awareness
17:56because
17:57frankly speaking
