the u.s. says european companies are bowing to its pressure and leaving iran but folks slogging declines to confirm its pulling out of that market even after the us ambassador to germany says the carmaker would do so. also on the program a deal reached in july to avert a trade war means that most soybeans consumed in the e.u. now come from the u.s. . and the largest part of the migrants who arrived in europe three years ago still haven't found work but with job markets tight some employers say they might be able to help again. for business on the w m how yet again it's good to have you with us the u.s. ambassador to germany says chemical company. will shut down operations in iran he sees it as a result of the trump administration's combination of sanctions and threats against anyone doing business with their country while neither of the companies has confirmed this version other german giants have already left the iranian market the
