US President Donald Trump’s tariff move against Canada, Mexico and China has sparked criticism and concern in Germany.
On Saturday, Trump ordered to impose a 25 per cent tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, and a 10 per cent tariff on Chinese goods. He also signalled that the European Union (EU) could be next, citing the bloc’s persistent trade surplus with the US.
While reaffirming Germany’s commitment to economic ties with the US, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasised that the first priority should be “not to divide up the world with many tariff barriers.”
