SQUAWK BOX, WEDNESDAY 21ST AUGUST, 2019

Instability in Italy. We’re live in Rome where Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte resigns with a scathing attack on interior minister Matteo Salvini whom he accuses of political opportunism. We discuss the next steps to form a new government with an Italian senator and assess the bond market reaction, as investors take a sanguine view on the crisis. Over in the U.S., the Dow breaks its 3-day streak after President Trump shows no signs of backing down in his trade war with China. Trump also takes aim at the EU, saying he can get anything he wants from the bloc by threatening its car sector. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has his request to drop the backstop roundly rejected by Brussels as he sets out to meet German chancellor Angela Merkel and French president Emmanuel Macron this week.
