The German Business in the USA: the Results of 2017

Abstract

German business is one of the largest investment and foreign trade partners of the United States. At the same time, in the first year of D. Trump's presidency, the US-Germany relationship was difficult at both the political and economic levels and required the efforts of each side to establish constructive dialogue with the EU. The leadership of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2017 repeatedly expressed concern over the violation of the WTO rules by the United States, the threat of dramatic changes in investment flows in Europe, the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Treaty on climate, the extraterritorial nature of sanctions against third countries. But, as a result of the year, German subsidiaries do not see any reason to reduce investment.
