German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Monday that Europe’s biggest economy will face “substantial damage” from the US tariffs agreed as part of a trade deal between Brussels and Washington.
However Merz added that “we couldn’t expect to achieve any more” from the deal and that its negative effects “will not only be limited to Germany and Europe, but we will see the effects of this trade policy in America as well”.
