Germany Dubs Trump's Tariffs 'Inflation Day'
President Trump’s tariff announcement was “inflation day,” said Germany's economics minister, Robert Habeck, predicting the measures would cause economic damage to both the U.S. and its trading partners. Habeck, whose party won’t participate in the upcoming coalition led by conservative politician Friedrich Merz, called for negotiations between the U.S. and the European Commission, which sets trade policy for the European Union.
