Donald Trump’s return to the White House could disrupt the global economy yet again with an “America First” agenda. He is likely to reintroduce tariffs, reshore critical industries, and may connect trade to other policy areas like security.
In the latest edition of Berlin Perspectives, Stormy-Annika Mildner explores the ramifications for the EU and Germany in particular. She highlights vulnerabilities in Germany’s export-driven growth model and the European economy in general compounded by the challenges of the green and digital transitions.
To navigate this critical moment, Mildner outlines key priorities for Germany’s next government: enhancing the EU’s economic resilience, maintaining structured dialogue with the U.S., supporting a rules-based international order, and expanding global partnerships.
