German officials have welcomed American President Joe Biden’s apparent willingness to discuss tweaking US legislation that European leaders say unfairly discriminates against their industries.

Mr Biden acknowledged during a visit to Washington by French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday that there were “glitches” in the Inflation Reduction Act, which favours American-made climate technology for products such as electric vehicles.
