Melech 9,900 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 "The Trump-Merkel row: Germany and US argue over trade The Chancellor and US President’s relationship is already rocky after Mr Trump claimed Germany was damaging America’s economy by flooding the country with foreign goods. But Mrs Merkel lay the foundations for a frosty meeting at the G20 in Hamburg next week, claiming Germany creates more American jobs that it disrupts. There is ten times more direct investment from her nation to his, than the other way around, Mrs Merkel claimed. The Chancellor’s retaliation was met with raucous applause in her home nation as she began to defend German industry. Speaking at The Economic Council of the CDU, Mrs Merkel said: “The fact that we have 10 times as much direct investment from Germany in the United States than there’s American investment in Germany has, of course, … a strong effect on the many jobs we create.” “(The US) should also take into account that [car maker] BMW has its largest production site not in Germany but in the United States … and exports more cars from there into third countries than Ford and General Motors combined.” Mrs Merkel was responding to claims from Mr Trump at an earlier G7 meeting her country is “very bad” on trade. Mr Trump’s team said Germany is exporting significantly more than it imports - and that the new President wants more US products to be purchased. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said the US expects a “larger share” of the German market. The US has repeatedly criticised Germany’s record current account surplus an called for rapid change. Earlier in 2017 Mr Trump expressed anger over the trade deficit with Germany and the trade gaps which stands at about £52.92billion ($67.8bn) per year, between the two nations. In May he tweeted a warning to Europe it “will change”. The White House claimed Germany is unfair with trading policy - yet it cannot meet the two per cent payment for Nato membership." http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/822178/US-jobs-Angela-Merkel-Donald-Trump-G20-trade-latest-news-European-Union Queen of Germany, Europe, the gays, the world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
