Germany responds to Donald Trump's debate comments

Germany is denying an assertion made by former President Donald Trump during the presidential debate Tuesday about the country's renewable energy industry. 

"You believe in things like we're not going to frack, we're not going to take fossil fuel, we're not going to do things that are going to be strong, whether you like it or not," Trump said in his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. "Germany tried that, and within one year, they were back to building normal energy plants."

But on Wednesday, Germany's Federal Foreign Office decided to issue a rebuttal, echoing the former president's language.
