German authorities have said that Donald Trump is poorly informed about the real state of affairs in the German economy.
The German Foreign Ministry responded to the US presidential candidate. The comment appeared on the department's social media page.
Trump has accused Germany of failing in energy policy. The Germans have taken up the development of alternative energy sources and are gradually abandoning fossil fuels.
In response to Trump's words, the Foreign Ministry stated that the country's energy system is fully functioning.
More than 50% of energy is produced from renewable sources, Berlin assures. New coal and nuclear power plants are not being built, but old ones are being closed, the department's response states.
The last coal-fired power station in Germany is expected to be disconnected from the grid by 2038. The transition to green energy is on track, the Germans say.
The Foreign Ministry also emphasized that not everything is so bad in the German economy: “PS: We also don’t eat cats and dogs.”
Trump claimed during a debate with Kamala Harris that migrants to the US are allegedly forced to eat dog and cat meat. According to him, this is what people from Haiti do.
