Germany Tariff War Reassessed By Treasury Policy Shifts

Trade with Germany totals about 214000 annually versus 7 million with Britain, with grain flows shifting toward Britain if Germany opens to Russian grain. The overall outlook appears brighter as talks proceed between Root and Shaw on calming Germany before a tariff battle.
