WASHINGTON, Feb 6 (Reuters) - German Economy Minister
Robert Habeck on Monday said there was a chance that de facto
free-trade status could be reached between Europe and the United
States in the area of critical minerals under the U.S. Inflation
Reduction Act (IRA).
Habeck is currently in Washington to discuss the IRA and its
implications for Europe with U.S. officials and seek equal
treatment, comparable to Mexico and Canada, in some areas in
which European leaders fear discrimination.
