Germany’s Altmaier: Will try to find new common ground with US after Biden victory

After Joe Biden’s victory, Germany will try to get a new start to trade policy with the US, German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier said on Monday, as reported by Reuters.

“We will try to find a new common ground with the US and reach an agreement,” Altmaier added. “We are trying to de-escalate the existing conflicts with the old US administration and will focus on future policy with the new administration.”
