Bosses of German companies including engineering group Siemens (SIEGn.DE) and carmaker BMW (BMWG.DE) will travel with Chancellor Angela Merkel to meet U.S. President Donald Trump this week, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Faced with Trump's "America First" policy and threats to impose tariffs on imported goods, the captains of industry will stress how many U.S. jobs are tied to "Deutschland AG".

Trains-to-turbines group Siemens employs more than 50,000 people in the United States, its single biggest market, where it makes 21 percent of its total revenue, while BMW's South Carolina plant is its largest factory anywhere in the world.

Trump said this meeting was postponed until Friday because of the weather. Interesting that the captains of the German industry will be accompanying her. Hopefully more winning by President Trump.

Lol... she’s scared and brought her brothers to stand behind her. All she succeeded in doing is showing Trump that she’s intimidated.

Art of the deal

Yeah, but if that's what Trump demanded before he'd negotiate, well, you gotta do what you gotta do. Maybe he could put them up on display in one of the tour areas.

The word “debate” give the impression that the Germans have a say in the decision process of America’s economy and foreign relations. A better word to use would be “discuss”. I am getting so sick of pompous Eurotrash.
