German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced Saturday his belief that his nation’s economy will experience reduced trade pressures following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that eliminated significant portions of President Donald Trump’s trade policies.
During an interview with Germany’s ARD television network, Merz indicated that discussions with Washington officials must occur before German businesses can recover billions in losses. He emphasized that European Union member nations plan to present a unified approach during his planned visit to the United States.
“We will have a very clear European position on this, because tariff policy is a matter for the European Union, not individual member states, and I will go to Washington with a coordinated European position,” Merz stated.
