Obama talked about his desire for a strong united europe, once closer ties with United States. Lets go down the issues. What does he mean by that . What he means is most of the week all over the world may mean the back door of your. There is the arabic world that is in turmoil for nearly a decade, and then russia and ukraine, and for all these crises, the solution lies more or less in europe. Obama knows that and knows that europe is not at its best point right now. Europe needs to strengthen and it needs some strengthening, and this is what obama did today. You said you are acting strongest when you are most unified. In the history of mankind, but he also had some strong scolding, words for europe.

It is a trade issue. Germany is one of the most important allies of the United States and one of the worst important trait partners trade partners. The United States is the most important trade partner of germany, because most of our exports go to the United States. The trade between countries is worth 3 billion a day.
