multilateralism it’s not gonna solve our
problems multilateral summit works only
when there’s reasonable respect for the
rules of the game the bad news is nobody
Oh China not the United States not
Russia not Turkey nobody respects the
rules of the game any more I push back a
little bit
was just in Germany last week and it was
very clear from from their perspective
that they too are facing these same
kinds of choices and the reason why we
do better in Europe than in Asia B is
because there are institutions in Europe
and not in Asia yeah so right now the
thing we can take advantage of is TPP so
yes we can China Turkey rush hour
problems but there we can have alliance
of multilateralism or multilateral lists
because we all have a common interest in
protecting the remnants of the system sowe can work with the Japanese we work
18:16
with Indonesia we can work with a
18:19
variety of the countries that have
18:21
common interests and keeping things open
18:23
the challenge of we always want to
18:25
diversify our markets while the two
18:26
plate biggest markets are the United
18:28
States and China so good luck with
18:30
diversifying anytime in the near future
18:31
the reality is is that we’re facing a
18:34
very tough world and the rules that
18:35
exist do benefit us so we’ve got to
18:37
figure out the ways in which we can
18:39
still defend those rules while looking
18:41
out for our interests and also two
18:43
wouldn’t it be fair to say that how
18:45
other countries see our leader plays a
18:48
role because with a the Prime Minister
18:50
the recent scandals that he added with
18:52
SNC lavell in the black face scandal
18:55
would that affect his ability to deal
18:57
with other countries Spezza I mean
