Bytes Europe · German leaders push for tough response to Trump tariffs in hope of détente later – POLITICO“But the question is, as always, how do you get there?” he added. “I advocate that Europe acts firstly with unity and secondly with determination. We are in a strong position. We can join forces with many countries, with many regions of the world and increase the pressure on the Americans accordingly.” With its export-driven economy, few countries around the world are as vulnerable to Trump’s tariff threats as Germany. After Trump dumped the European Union in the worst category of America’s trade partners Wednesday, hitting the bloc with a 20 percent tariff on all imports, Jörg Krämer, Commerzbank’s chief
