German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a visit to Washington next week will warn the US president Donald Trump on the possible consequences of the economic isolation of the United States and the introduction of special tariffs on goods from the European Union, reports the German media.

"The chancellor will from Donald Trump's request continuation of negotiations on free trade between the US and the EU," said the coordinator of the German government's policy toward the United States Juergen Hardt to news agency AFP.

Merkel will, as Hardt said, let Trump know that a bilateral agreement between the US and Germany is not possible.

"That is a very populist argument that Germany is manipulating the Euro to keep its exports cheap. The German products in the United States are for the most part above average expensive," says Hardt.

Before that, the weekly Der Spiegel reported that Merkel will try to convince Trump about the harmfulness of protective tariffs announced by the newly-elected US President.

"Tax whose goal would be discrimination against imports is contrary to the existing German-American agreements," writes Spiegel referring to the Angela Merkel's preparatory materials for the visit to Washington.

Economy Minister Brigitte Cipres said in an interview with "Welt am Sonntag" that the German factories in the United States opened 800,000 jobs.

"I think that for example, to the governor of South Carolina is not in the interest to close BMW operation there and that it withdraws its investments," said Cipres.

She believes that Merkel should say to Trump that his economic - political plans are not working and that they will damage not only our but also the American economy, "said Cipres.
