German Economy Minister Robert Habeck emphasized the importance of a unified EU response to US-imposed trade tariffs, warning of potential global economic damage due to the tariffs. He criticized the US's tariff strategy, suggesting it could trigger recession and significant harm worldwide. Habeck insisted that while the EU prefers negotiation over conflict, it would respond decisively if necessary. He also dismissed the idea of tariffs as a 'Liberation Day' for US consumers, predicting it would actually lead to increased inflation.
Europe's strength is our strength. We have the largest single market in the world. We must utilize this strength.
The US obsession with tariffs could put a spiral in motion that can tear countries into recession and cause massive damage worldwide.
We have always urged negotiations rather than confrontation, but if the US does not want a negotiated resolution, we will give a balanced, clear and resolute response.
For the consumers in the US, the day will not be Liberation Day, but Inflation Day.
