    German Industry Groups Warn US Regarding Tariffs

    July 24, 2018

    July 24, 2018—German industry groups have warned, prior to the European Commission's president meeting with U.S. president Donald Trump, that tariffs implemented by the U.S. risk harming America itself.

    Citing national security concerns, the U.S. imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the EU, Canada and Mexico on June 1, and Trump is threatening to extend them to EU cars and car parts. Juncker expects to discuss trade with Trump at a meeting on Wednesday.
