German Exports Fall More Than Expected as US Shipments Sink
German exports sank more than anticipated in May as the value of shipments to the US plunged to their lowest level in more than three years amid President Donald Trump's tariff threats.
Total exports declined 1.4% from the previous month, the statistics office said Tuesday. That's worse than the -0.5% median estimate in a Bloomberg survey, and followed a revised 1.6% decline in April.
