German Chancellor Angela Merkel said today that she would back lowering tariffs on US auto imports. But she also emphasized that “When we want to negotiate tariffs, on cars for example, we need a common European position and we are still working on it.”
Nonetheless, she added that “I would be ready to support negotiations on reducing tariffs but we would not be able to do this only with the U.S.”
It sounds like Merkel is keeping her stance to push for “plurilateral agreement” with US, Japan and South Korea.
