US-Germany: US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent hosts German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil in Washington, D.C., in the latter’s first visit to the US capital in office. The two are set to discuss trade and transatlantic ties in the aftermath of the agreement of a tariff deal between the US and EU that will see 15% tariffs imposed on many EU exports to the US. Klingbeil is expected to push for a quota system for EU steel exports, while also seeking clarification from Bessent, viewed as a moderate figure within the Trump administration, on the investments in the US pledged by the EU as well as the energy sector.
