US EU deal to avoid trade war

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

President Trump and the EU Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker, have agreed on measures to fend off the threat of an all-out trade war. We get reaction from Germany's economy minister and from chair of the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association. And we discuss whether today's agreement can form a basis for a long term US/EU trade co-operation. Violence and claims of rigging on Pakistan's general election day -- we have the latest from Islamabad. We hear from the country with the lowest fertility rate in the world and we talk to a Trinidadian writer who is the winner of the Commonwealth Short Story Prize announced this evening.
