New US tariffs could slash German exports to the United States by 5-10% and lead to annual losses of 8-15 bln euro, Bild newspaper reported, citing economists’ estimates.
The outlet recalled that the German economy has already suffered losses from a previously imposed 15% tariff by Washington. At the same time, the United States is Germany’s most important trading partner, with Germany exporting cars, machinery, and chemical and pharmaceutical products there. The volume of German exports to the US amounts to about 157 bln euro per year.
Bundeswehr servicemen stationed in Greenland unexpectedly received orders from Berlin on Sunday morning to urgently leave the island, Bild newspaper reported, citing its own sources.

The newspaper claims that the Bundeswehr’s advance group was given no explanation by German authorities for the sudden departure. All planned activities on the ground have been canceled. No official statements have been made, and everything is being done under conditions of secrecy, Bild noted.

ReplyDelete"На всички 15 германски военнослужещи в Гренландия е наредено спешно да напуснат острова, съобщава Bild.
ReplyDeleteПричините за заповедта не се разгласяват, но изданието предполага, че това е свързано с новите търговски мита на САЩ. По-рано Тръмп подчерта, че присъствието на европейски военни на острова има „неясни цели“ и може да бъде опасно за планетата (цитат).
Дотук бяха военните действия, защитиха свободолюбивата Гренландия. Американските мита пробиха голяма дупка на мястото на Бундесвера в „единния строй на ЕС“ от защитници на гренландския остров.
Сега и целият строй може да се разпадне, след като германците опразниха позициите.
