Karen Donfried and Wolfgang Ischinger — Trans-Atlantic Ties: It's Time To Rebuild Trust

Germany and the United States have close relations politically, but ties between our people are drifting as a result of NSA spying, the report on CIA torture and the planned TTIP trade agreement. A broader dialogue is necessary to deepen the partnership.

A broader dialogue or the US shaping up and standing down. Decent analysis of the discord. Unhelpful approach to dealing with it if they think that the US is going to listen to these concerns.
