    Trump posted a tweet Tuesday saying “we have a MASSIVE trade deficit with Germany, plus they pay FAR LESS than they should on NATO & military. Very bad for U.S. This will change.”

    Trump rattled some in Europe with his statements on NATO last week.

    Merkel said Tuesday Germany’s relations with the United States are of “outstanding importance” but it must engage with other key nations going forward. She also suggested in the wake of the Trump visit that Europe’s relationship with Washington had shifted significantly and reiterated her position that “we in Europe have to take our fate into our own hands.”

    Does Trump have any financial interest in poor relations between Germany ym”s and/or the EU and the US?

    If we had copies of his tax returns we’d be able to trust his motives.

    German car manufacturers have created tens of thousands of jobs in southern states in the U.S. and are behind the recoveries of entire cities whose economies rely on the salaries of these employees. If Trump wants to play that game, Germany will simply pack up its factories and the European Union will tariff our I-Phones.

    Trump does not understand international and multi-arty trade. He is a checkers player.
