Germany's exports to the United States fell sharply in March, dropping 7.9 percent month on month and 21.4 percent year on year, according to figures released by the Federal Statistical Office of Germany on Friday.
Data also showed that Germany's industrial output decreased by 0.7 percent month on month in March.
Industry representatives said that U.S. tariff policies are increasingly straining trade relations between the two countries, and that turmoil in the Middle East is further dimming the outlook for Germany's industrial recovery.

China's fourth-generation independent superconducting quantum computer, "Origin Wukong 180," or 180-qubit Origin Wukong, officially went online on Saturday, starting to accept quantum computing tasks from users around the world.
The new system marks a further step forward in China's quantum computing capabilities. According to developers, the very quantum computer integrates four key core systems which are the quantum computing chip system, measurement and control system, environmental support system and operating system, all of which have been developed independently within China.
On Jan 6, 2024, the 72-qubit Origin Wukong, the third generation, was launched globally and has been stably operating for more than two years since then. So far, it has provided quantum computing services to around 50 million visits from more than 160 countries and regions worldwide.
