Watch CNBC's full interview with Steve Bannon on the US China trade war

Post today and I saw an article about how Republicans

Are not really a breaking with the president

Chicken from egg.

Give me your analysis

Of the Republican

Politics on this issue

And whether you think the president

Will be able to hold

Remember, you came to the White House this time 2 years ago you come back from Beijing we had this exact discussion

Ralph the biggest pressure the presidents got

It's time for his allies it supposed to be

Republican free Trader and you can't have free trade

In what way does the system is half mercantilist

And have free trade

That's what Trump going after

And I think

You're corrected the politics of this is that the Republicans

I really put the most pressure on him his allies on Wall Street

I put the pressure on him

Not understanding

That this is

This is the main thing

This is what it's about this is going to set the world

And it's in one direction of the other

For the next 20 30 40 or 50 years we've let this drift for so long with people that really didn't have their National interest

And had their own self-interest in mine

That's why this is so important

I hate to say it I would like to see a process started that you had like in marlago you had President Trump and president XI

More directly engage I think

Ali who's the reformer and

Brandon. And lighthiser at fantastic as negotiator

I think this needs to be principles I think he needs to be principles face to face

But I got to tell you

There is no chance Donald Trump backs down

I think he's looking at

The good people

On a global basis

Cuz I don't see him backing down on this I sent I think it's going to set the framework for the 2020 election

This is as important as it gets

But I do agree with you

I think we need two leaders and I think we need to take the heat down

And I think they need to get behind closed doors and start a process that's going to take a long time

To take this is not going to take place overnight this is not going to take place of the G20

The differences here are two fundamental

What are you hearing from you over in Berlin now

What are you hearing from Europeans

Because they actually

This never should have been

A story about us and China loan

This is always
