German Economy Minister Robert Habeck expressed optimism before departing on a trip to the United States on Monday that a European Union trade dispute with Washington can be resolved soon.
Many EU leaders are worried the local content requirements of $369 billion of green subsidies in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act will encourage companies to relocate, making the United States a leader in green tech at Europe's expense.
Habeck said the European Commission was taking the lead on the trade issue, but added: "We want to lend support." "And supporting means: in the working atmosphere that we have developed, to explore ways in which the problematic parts of the Inflation Reduction Act - that is, this industrial project - can perhaps be resolved," he said.
"And I am quite confident that maybe not today and tomorrow but in the next few days and weeks we will succeed in finding further solutions," he added.
