The US President has already announced punitive tariffs against China, Mexico and Canada. Is Europe next? Chancellor Scholz makes it clear from the EU summit that the EU is prepared.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) has announced European countermeasures in the event that the United States will charge additional tariffs on EU goods. “As a strong economic area, we can shape our things ourselves and can also react to customs policy with customs policies. We have to and will do that, “said Scholz before the informal EU summit in Brussels. The goal should be to come to a cooperation in the end.” But it is clear that the prerequisite for understanding is about his Own strength white. “
US President Donald Trump had previously announced punitive tariffs for goods from China, Canada and Mexico and also threatened the EU because of the commercial surplus of countries like Germany. Scholz emphasized that both sides benefited from the exchange of goods and services. “If customs policy makes it difficult now, it would be bad for the USA, bad for Europe,” he said.
