German Economy Minister Calls on EU and US to Adopt a Pragmatic Approach in Tariff Negotiations

German Economy Minister called on the EU and the US to adopt a pragmatic approach in tariff negotiations on Saturday. German Economy Minister Katharina Reiche said in a statement: "The EU must now, in the remaining time, negotiate a solution with the US in a pragmatic way," she said: "These negotiations must quickly achieve practical results."

Previously, Germany's main industrial organizations urged a quick resolution. The German Industry Association (BDI) stated in a statement: "President Trump's statements have sounded the alarm for industry on both sides of the Atlantic."

Senior official of the German Industry Association Wolfgang Niedermark warned: "Trade conflicts between two closely linked economic regions such as the EU and the US will harm economic recovery, innovation capabilities, and ultimately damage confidence in international cooperation."

This alliance "calls on the German government, the European Commission, and the US government to find solutions quickly to prevent the situation from escalating."
