Bush Official Says U.S. Deeply Hurt by German Moves
Fri May 02, 2003 08:29 AM ET

BERLIN (Reuters) - The first U.S. cabinet member to visit Berlin since a rift between the two countries over the Iraq war said on Friday the United States felt betrayed and deeply hurt by the row.

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick also said Washington was watching warily moves such as "odd meetings" led by Germany and France to boost European defense integration and that the creation of a European counterweight to the United States was harmful for transatlantic relations.

But he told journalists that he believed mutual German-U.S. interests, especially in business, would bring the world's first and third largest economic powers together again.

"I'm here to extend my hand," he said.
