German Transport Minister in U.S. Talks on VW Scandal

Germany's transport minister was in Washington Monday to brief his U.S. counterpart on the steps Berlin is taking to address the pollution-cheating scandal roiling Volkswagen, officials said.

Germany's Alexander Dobrindt met Anthony Foxx to discuss Volkswagen, the auto giant which has been under fire since revelations that it purposely evaded U.S. emissions limits.

"I offered the U.S. government to bring them up to date on a regular basis," said Dobrindt, according to a statement from German officials.

"I also invited experts of U.S. agencies to come to Germany to take a look at our procedures."

On Tuesday, Dobrindt will meet representatives of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
