Germany hopes trade barriers will be dismantled under Biden, minister says
BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany hopes that trade barriers between the United States and Europe will be dismantled once the new administration under President-elect Joe Biden takes office, German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier said on Monday.
“I hope from the bottom of my heart that the new U.S. administration will help us broker a consensus on the trade relationship between the United States and the EU,” Altmaier said in Berlin.
“And that we can abolish many, many measures with regard to tariffs and trade inspired by protectionism,” he added.
