German and Chinese Leaders Hail Rules-Based Trade System, With Eye to U.S.
Germany and China reiterated their commitment to the multilateral rules that govern free trade on Monday, cementing their opposition to the Trump administration’s efforts to reshape international commerce in a way it thinks would better suit U.S. interests.
The comments by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang at a meeting in Berlin coincided with the signing of several business deals that underlined the close economic ties between the world’s two largest exporters of goods.
