Merkel says US calling European cars a threat is ‘frightening’
MUNICH, Germany, Feb 16, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel
on Saturday labelled as “frightening” tough US trade rhetoric planning to
declare European car imports a national security threat.
“If these cars … suddenly spell a threat to US national security, than
that is frightening to us,” she said. “All I can say is it would be good if
we could resume proper talks with one another… Then we will find a
solution.”
