– German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer said Friday the European Union should try again to reach a trade agreement with Washington after the US election, Reuters reports. Kramp-Karrenbauer, a close ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel, said both sides were faced with the same challenges in their relations to China. “China’s aggressive state capitalism, its handling of currency issues, the question of whether we have a level playing field accessing each other’s market, the protection of intellectual property, the unity of state and party,’ Kramp-Karrenbauer said.
