German exports to the United States plunged last year due to President Donald Trump's tariff blitz, and the trade surplus of Europe's top economy with the US shrunk to a four-year low, data showed Friday. But total exports for 2025 rebounded by around one percent following two years of contraction, as stronger trade with Europe offset falling shipments to the United States, statistics agency Destatis said. German exports to the United States fell 9.3 percent last year, while US imports to Germany rose slightly.
