Foreign policy spokesman for the Social Democrats: “Trump has unleashed a US trade war against the rest of the world,”

Nils Schmid, foreign policy spokesman for the Social Democrats, told Bloomberg. He called for retaliatory tariffs against the US, diversifying trade relations and coordination with Canada and Mexico as well as Asian partners.

The plan was supposed to be different. 

Merz had repeatedly made clear that under his leadership Germany would take a tougher stance on China and transatlantic ties would strengthen. 

But Trump’s tariff blitz undermines Merz’s planned repositioning and raises the question of where Germany will sell its exports.
