13 Aug 2018 11:57 AM

The German minister of economy strongly criticized the tariff policies and the US sanctions policy imposed by US President Donald Trump, saying such actions destroy jobs and growth and that Europe will not bow to US pressure on Iran.

The German economy minister said the war was slowing down and destroying economic growth and creating uncertainty, adding that consumers were more suffering about rising tariffs that raised prices.

The German minister of economy praised the agreement reached by the European Commission president with the US president last month, saying that this interim agreement saved hundreds of thousands of jobs in Europe, and that it can only be a first step.
