Germany will not bow to threats from the United States in a trade dispute and wants to resolve it through negotiations, the German foreign minister said today ahead of talks with the United States on the trade dispute.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Junker is scheduled to meet with US President Donald Trump to discuss the imposition of US tariffs on steel and aluminum from the European Union and his threats to expand such measures to include European cars.
Trump complained of higher import tariffs and described the EU as a trade foe. EU officials say that while car import charges are higher than those applied by the United States, prices for other US products, including trucks, are higher, adding that reducing car fees only be a part of a broader business deal.
