Germany, EU Won’t Support US Sanctions on Iran

• PressTV Published on Aug 12, 2018
  Germany strongly criticizes the US economic policies against other countries, saying they are destroying jobs and economic growth. Economy Minister Peter Alt-meyer has named tariffs against different countries and sanctions against Iran as two examples of the Trump administration’s wrong policies. He said neither Berlin nor the European Union will abide by Washington and they will support companies that do business with Iran. According to the German minister, the EU will not allow the US to dictate with whom it can do business. He said Berlin must encourage further business investments in Iran. Alt-meyer further added that although the trade war between Brussels and the US has slowed down following a temporary deal between them, uncertainties still persist. The German official noted that consumers worldwide would suffer the most because tariffs would drive up prices.
