    Conservative MP Michael Gove got to flex his journalistic muscles last week when he became first Brit to interview incoming president Donald Trump.

    During the interview, Trump said Germany had been “very unfair to the US” because, while you see German-made cars in the US, you don’t see many US cars in Germany.

    He said:

    If you go down Fifth Avenue everyone has a Mercedes Benz in front of his house, isn’t that the case?

    How many Chevrolets do you see in Germany? Not very many, maybe none at all … It’s a one-way street.

    Trump said, “It’s gotta be a two-way street”, and threatened a 35 per cent tariff on BMW cars imported into the US.

    Germany’s deputy chancellor and minister for the economy, Sigmar Gabriel responded to the property tycoon's comments in the best way.

    He was quoted in Monday’s daily Bild saying that the US simply needs to “Build better cars”.

    I'd happily drive a Ford Pinto for the rest of my life if it meant not having to deal with their immigration problem.

    you probably will get to drive the Pinto AND deal with their immigration problem.

    The US will be seeing similar immigration problems in the next couple years if Trump breaks their economy and Mexicans cross in hordes along the rest of Central Americans who will be given free passage through Mexico in revenge.

    Islam is not even 5% of the German immigration problem. Economics is 95%. US will deal with that 95%

    Europe's refugee crisis was caused by you Repugs invading Iraq for BigOil and USA's imperial "regime change" bull .

    Europe has plenty of non-luxury local car mfrs. Why the would they want to buy non-luxury American cars?

    Americans buy luxury foreign cars because they think US luxury cars Cadillac and Lincoln suck and/or don't have the cachet of luxury attached to foreign brands.

    Trash is so ing ignorant, naive. Putting a huge tariff on foreign cars isn't going to force foreigners to start buying American cars.

    Airbus would love to see Europe put huge tariffs on Boeing

    Does he have any idea of what mercantilism is?

    or why USA BigCorp has been pushing globalization for 30 years to kill all remnants of mercantilism?

    Please lay out what you think Germany's immigration problem is. Be a big boy and use your own words.

    The Germans will match Tesla, sooner or later, probably sooner, and get a lot more govt support for networks of charging stations.

    EU countries have to buy USD to buy oil, and they REALLY want to reduce that outflow of national wealth.
