Summary
Germany has pushed back against a warning from the United States Trade Representative regarding its proposed streaming investment law. The German government spokesperson, Stefan Kornelius, defended the plan as "very moderate by European standards" during a press briefing in Berlin. The dispute centers on Germany's requirement for streaming services to invest in local content production, which the U.S. argues could be protectionist and harm American streaming platforms operating in Germany.
