US EditionEurope wants to ‘avoid escalation’ on Trump tariff threat: Merz
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz urges calm diplomacy to prevent tariff escalation after US President Trump's Greenland tariff threats risk straining transatlantic ties.
- Germany and other European countries agreed "that we want to avoid any escalation in this dispute if at all possible", according to Merz, who said he would seek to meet Trump at the World Economic Forum.
- Merz stated that "customs duties are usually paid by those in the country where the imports are received- in this case, American consumers" and that the tariffs "would also, of course, damage our economy, the European economy and, in particular, the German economy".
- Klingbeil stressed that the "limit has been reached" when it came to the US leader making threats, stating "We are constantly experiencing a new confrontation that President Trump is seeking".
