The 46-year-old wraps his arms around his wife tenderly, and Anderson returns his affection

The 69-year-old is a sharp critic of Trump. Its government referred to it on Saturday as "the most corrupt in living memory".

Warren is among the growing field of Democrats running for the party’s candidacy a year before the primaries. There are several women among them. Warren is demanding, among other things, a special tax for the richest 75,000 families in the United States, for example to promote the middle class and climate protection.

"The rich and powerful seem to break the rules and pay no price for it"Warren said on Saturday to cheering supporters. "When I talk about it, some rich guys scream: class war! Let me tell you something: The same rich guys have been fighting a class war against hard-working people for decades. I say: it’s time to fight back!"

Warren had sparked controversy because of her past calling herself a Native American. President Trump regularly mocks them as "Pocahontas", a famous aboriginal woman from the 17th century. In October, Warren submitted a DNA test, which found it "convincing evidence" for admitting that one of her ancestors was a Native American six to ten generations ago. However, that backfired.

The Cherokee tribe called the DNA test "useless" and no evidence of a tribal affiliation that has its roots in centuries-old culture. The "Washington Post" reported a few days ago, citing a tribal spokeswoman, Warren had apologized. Critics accuse Warren of posing as a native to advance her career.

Prior to being elected Senator in 2012, Warren was a law professor at elite Harvard University. Trump alleged that Harvard would not have hired her if she had not posed as a member of a minority. In the past few days the debate flared up again: The "Washington Post" published a 1986 Texas Bar index card that Warren claimed was a Native American.

The German auto industry is afraid of US punitive tariffs. The Commerce Department has now passed its recommendations to President Trump. The report is also highly controversial in the United States.

The most important actors at the Munich Security Conference

The US Department of Commerce has handed over its audit report on the national security threat from auto imports to US President Donald Trump. A ministry spokeswoman said on Sunday evening (Orszeit) that details of the report would not be made public. Trump now has 90 days to decide on this basis whether to impose tariffs of up to 25 percent on car imports. However, it is unclear whether this step will actually take place.

The federal government expects the ministry to indeed classify imports of cars and auto parts as a danger. When exactly the decision of the ministry will be made public is open. This Monday is a public holiday in the United States. The ministry has so far not commented on the decision despite various inquiries.

Merkel: "We are proud of our cars"

The upcoming decision of the US Department of Commerce is frightening for Germany, said Merkel on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference. "We are proud of our cars. We can do that too." She does not understand how the Americans could classify German cars as a threat to national security.

"These cars are built in the United States of America"said Merkel. The largest BMW plant is located in the US state of South Carolina. "Not in Bavaria, in South Carolina"she stressed. "I think it would be good if we could have a good conversation." The EU Commission estimates the value of European auto and auto parts exports to the USA at more than 50 billion euros per year.123helpme.me

US auto industry against tariffs

Recently, special tariffs of 25 percent were discussed. The background to such considerations by Trump is to reduce the US trade deficit and create jobs in the US.

But such a step is also controversial in the USA – and not without risk. The US auto industry spoke out against tariffs. These are likely to drive car prices up by several thousand dollars and cost hundreds of thousands of jobs in the US. The industry association said the tariffs could curb investment in the US. "Not a single company in the domestic auto industry requested this investigation."

Trump poses as "Man of Customs"

There is also criticism from the US Congress. The chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Trump’s Republican party colleague Chuck Grassley, recently complained that special tariffs on cars and auto parts would put a huge burden on consumers who bought a car – regardless of whether it was made in the USA or imported. "Tariffs are not a long-term solution." They could provide short-term protection for their own economy – but at the expense of consumers and industries that increasingly depend on complex global supply chains.

The result of the report from the US Department of Commerce does not yet make a decision. Despite the assessment, Trump is free to choose which path to take. Most recently, for example in the trade conflict with China, as "Man of Customs" staged. But does he see the threat of car tariffs only as leverage to force Europeans into negotiations? Or is he really serious? The approaching presidential election campaign should also play a role in the decision – on an issue that affects many citizens.

German car manufacturers particularly affected

German car manufacturers face a particular risk from special tariffs. If the US were to increase import tariffs by 25 percent over the long term, German car exports to the US could almost be halved in the long term, according to the calculations of the Ifo Institute. That would also have a noticeable effect on exports as a whole: "These tariffs would reduce total car exports from Germany by 7.7 percent, which would correspond to a value of 18.4 billion euros"said Ifo expert Gabriel Felbermayr.

The German industry association VDA expressed concern and referred to the commitment of manufacturers in the USA. The German auto industry alone has created more than 113,000 jobs in the USA with around 300 factories in the past few years, introduced dual training for qualified workers and is the largest car exporter from the USA. "All of this strengthens the US and is not a security problem", warned the Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). Porsche CFO Lutz Meschke said the "Stuttgart newspaper" and the "Stuttgart news" (Monday): "I think it’s clear that we are not a threat to US national security."

If there were no counter-reactions from other countries, the USA could clearly benefit from special tariffs in the long term, according to Ifo expert Felbermayr. "Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes & Co. would produce more in the USA and thus avoid the tariffs." Those who continue to export to the USA have to lower prices. The US would also collect billions in customs revenue. The problem is just: "Counter-tariffs destroy everything." And that could be the catch on Trump’s bill.

Car expert: No dramatic consequences for car manufacturers

The auto expert Ferdinand Dudenhöffer does not see the US plans as a serious threat to the German automotive industry. The punitive tariffs could prove to be ineffective, said Dudenhöffer. For example, punitive tariffs of 25 percent could not deter buyers of expensive luxury cars.

Production capacities in the USA could be increased for German car models in the medium price range. Cars in the lower price ranges are already being built in Mexico and could easily be imported into the USA under the NAFTA free trade agreement. Dudenhöffer sees no problem with the delivery of auto parts either. Large auto parts are already being made by American suppliers.

"Really existential threat"

Dudenhöffer mentioned the latest warnings from the Munich Ifo Institute "unworldly". The Ifo Institute had warned that German car exports to the USA could fall by almost half in the long term in the event of US tariffs. For German car exports as a whole, this would be a minus of seven to eight percent, said Ifo economic expert Gabriel Felbermayr to Deutschlandfunk. He warned of one "really existential threat" for the German automotive industry and also for suppliers in various countries.

According to Dudenhöffer, US President Donald Trump is not primarily concerned with German cars. Rather, the punitive tariffs are a means of putting pressure on the EU and negotiating the agricultural market. Trump attacked the Germans because he could not attack the French directly.

Söder: The EU has to react consistently

Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) sharply criticized the impending tariffs on European cars: "The arguments from the USA are absurd: German cars are not a threat to national security, but rather strengthen the USA as an automotive location"said Söder. "Using such an excuse to raise tariffs clearly violates the rules of fair world trade."

"Of course, this step would weigh heavily on the German economy", said Söder and emphasized: "The European Union would then have to react consistently here – that is the task of the Commission."

The EU has already announced that it would react to new US tariffs with retaliatory tariffs. It is therefore conceivable that the first step would be to impose countervailing duties on US goods worth around 20 billion euros.

Tariffs on steel and aluminum

In order to defuse the dispute over the already introduced US special tariffs on steel and aluminum products, the USA and the EU had actually agreed to start new free trade talks. However, the project has made very slow progress so far.

The agreement reached in July between Trump and EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker specifically provides for mediation that both sides begin talks on the abolition of tariffs on industrial goods and closer cooperation on regulations, for example for the pharmaceutical industry. At the same time, no new special tariffs should actually be imposed for the time being.

Only a few days ago the news got around that Pamela Anderson’s second marriage to Rick Salomon was about to end. The former Baywatch actress filed for divorce after just six months of marriage. Now images emerged that cause great confusion. Both were seen kissing passionately. The 46-year-old wraps his arms around his wife tenderly, and Anderson returns his affection. But that doesn’t look like a divorce.

Anderson’s spokeswoman confirmed to the US magazine in early July 2014 "People" broke up and asked that the actress’ privacy be preserved. So far there has been no statement about a love comeback like the American Potal "tmz.com" reported. The current photos of the two speak a clear language.

Second attempted marriage in January 2014

Last January they made the second attempt. Anderson was previously married to drummer Tommy Lee and musician Kid Rock. The actress has two sons with ex-husband Lee, Salomon has two daughters with his first wife Elizabeth Daily.
