The global economy appears increasingly fragmented, marked by Trump's tariffs, China's aggressive trade policy, rising protectionism and the erosion of multilateral rules. Yet preserving rule-based global trade is central to the German and European economies.
In this issue of Berlin Perspectives, Claudia Schmucker analyses the importance of EU trade policy for Germany and vice-versa. She argues that the new German government should push ahead with the conclusion of further free trade agreements at EU level; strive for EU unity where member have differing views; and avoid a trade war with the US – without, however, abandoning European standards.
