After months of tensions, US and Germany talk trade

Top economic advisors to US President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel -- whose relations have been strained at best for months -- met Wednesday at the White House to boost trade ties. Since taking office in January last year, and especially in recent months, the US leader has not held back, attacking Germany and Merkel on trade, Berlin's military spending (too low for Trump) and immigration. Senior White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow and his German counterpart Lars-Hendrik Roller met to "deepen bilateral economic and trade relations between our two countries," US spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said.
