  "account": "Germany's Chamber of Commerce is urging for more stable US trade relations in the wake of Donald Trump's Republicans losing control of both chambers of Congress. Helena Melnikov, the head of the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, emphasized the importance of stability in trade and expressed concern over Trump's frequent tariff changes. Meanwhile, experts warn that uncertainty surrounding US trade policy remains high, potentially leading to political deadlock and impacting the US budget. Meanwhile, Germany's auto industry has shown improved confidence, with its business climate index reaching its highest level since mid-2024. However, challenges persist, particularly in the face of technological competition. Additionally, Germany's housing sector has been the subject of debate, with Vonovia criticizing plans to bring large private housing portfolios under public ownership. The CEO of Vonovia called the proposal \"the wrong approach\" and criticized its legal validity, arguing that it would not create additional housing and undermine investment confidence.",
