Germany criticizes Trump orders on trade deficits, import duty evasion
http://reut.rs/2nrnzBr
U.S. President Donald Trump's executive orders on trade deficits and import duty evasion are a sign that Washington plans to move away from free trade and international agreements, German Economy Minister Brigitte Zypries said on Saturday.
Trump instructed his administration on Friday to study the causes of U.S. trade deficits and clamp down on countries that abuse trade rules in two executive orders he said would open a new chapter for U.S. workers and businesses.
Zypries said that while the executive orders were initially only reviews, "they show, however, that the U.S. obviously wants to move away from free trade and trade agreements."
"We must seek constructive dialogue and explain that the reasons for the U.S. trade deficit are not just abroad," the minister said, adding that she would raise the issue in talks with U.S. counterparts during a trip to Washington in May.
For years, the United States has been importing more goods from Germany than it exports to Europe's biggest economy, due to the relatively strong competitiveness of German firms and the high demand among U.S. customers for 'Made in Germany' goods.
The resulting U.S. trade deficit with Germany has nearly doubled in the past 10 years from some 28.8 billion euros in 2006 to 49 billion euros in 2016, according to data from Germany's Federal Statistics Office.
Trump's trade adviser Peter Navarro has accused Germany of exploiting other countries through a "grossly undervalued" euro. This sparked a sharp response from German Chancellor Angela Merkel who said the European Central Bank is in charge of the euro and the central bank is a politically independent body.
In a further sign of increased tensions between Germany and the United States, German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel urged the European Union on Friday to consider filing a complaint with the World Trade Organisation (WTO) against the United States over its plan to impose duties on imports of steel plate from five EU member states.

Yesterday three roadside IEDs exploded when the Dortmund soccer team bus passed by seriously injuring a player and police officer....
A note claiming the attack was found nearby...totally unusual for a jihadist attack...they claim online not by a note that might not get found...
Letter at BVB bus has Islamist intention, mentions German Tornados in Syria and Berlin truck attack.

Police are investigating claim of responsibility from Antifa, published online. Looks rather fake/trolling to me.

The Islamist letter has very unusual wording for an ISIS attack, looks as if perpetrator is either not familiar with the language or...he tried to gave the misleading impression of an Islamist attack. Some aspects of the letter read rather like leftwing terrorism.
1st of May demonstrations throughout Germany for the radical left and anarchists are coming up....
Police are seen investigating of what looks like the effects of some kind of recoilless gun. Device would have fired through hole in fence towards the bus.

BREAKING No evidence to link detained 'Islamist' suspect to Dortmund blasts: German prosecutors
BUT by accident they happened to pickup a potential Islamist who just happened to be walking in the nearby area of the attack....again by accident...
The German Federal Prosecutor is indicating that they are looking at the extreme right as those that fired the very well (professional) made IEDs that were well coordinated.....in their timing......the IEDs were designed to kill the entire team....so that means there is an extremely talented extreme right wing bomb maker in Germany somewhere or they came from outside Germany.....this is a total new development.....
Anschlag auf @BVB-Bus in #Dortmund: Laut @BILD wird auch im Umfeld von #Legida und rechten Hools ermittelt
