German Finance Minister Christian Lindner warned of potential retaliation if the U.S. initiates a trade war with the EU, emphasizing that such conflicts yield no winners. He highlighted the growing importance of the U.S. as a trading partner for Germany and cautioned against escalating tensions, particularly in light of proposed tariffs that could harm the German economy. Lindner urged diplomatic efforts to prevent a trade conflict, noting that the real issue lies with U.S.-China trade relations.
Escalating trade tensions and tariffs between the U.S. and China could have significant global economic repercussions, according to IMF deputy managing director Gita Gopinath. She emphasized that increased protectionist measures would lower output, pressure inflation, and disrupt global supply chains, ultimately harming all parties involved. Maintaining strong U.S.-China relations is crucial for global economic stability, as unilateral actions threaten the rules-based trading system.
