If Germany breaks rank with the EU and does a bi-lateral trade deal with the US it ought to cause an extreme reaction from the European Commission and European Parliament since the EU is supposed to manage trade as a bloc. not as independent nations. If Germany is allowed to get away with it, it will reveal who really runs the EU - Germany. I see potential BIG cracks forming within EU if Germany makes trade deals with the US that don't include the rest of the EU nations. Good. The sooner the EU collapses back into its constituent sovereign nations, the better, afaic. Maybe Brexit won't be necessary after all…
