The U.S. ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, said that German business leaders tell him they are astounded by the economic growth that "President Trump has been able to deliver" and they are "looking for ways to be a part of the U.S. economy."

Germany is the fifth largest economy in the world and the largest economy in Europe, according to The World Factbook, published by the CIA.

During an Oct. 23 inteview on Fox Business, Ambassador Grenell said, “I hear from CEOs every day here in Germany, and what I’m told by them is that they love what’s going on in the United States. They’re looking for ways to be a part of the U.S. economy."

"There is no question that they turn away from countries like Iran pretty easily," he said. "They see the growth that President Trump has been able to deliver and it’s astounding them."

"Also, I have to say that it’s not only the economic growth," said Grenell. "It’s not only just the corporate tax cuts. But what’s most exciting to German CEOs that I hear every day is the regulatory atmosphere -- the way that the government is taking down the roadblocks and the bureaucratic red tape."

"They see that as a way to really grow and they want to be a part of it," he said.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, since January 2017, the U.S. economy has added 3.8 million jobs. In September 2018, the national unemployment rate hit 3.7%, the lowest rate since 1969.
