Germany Tariff War and U S Policy Split
The State Department will guide the placating policy, directing consuls to seek new data to value goods for import. The aim is to ease German exporters and possibly soften Germany’s tariff, while Treasury denies any plan to alter U S customs rules. Grain trade balances favor Britain. U S may shift grain exports if Germany’s tariffs bite. The news notes a brighter German outlook than earlier discussions and emphasizes no immediate tariff war next March.
