German Finance Minister Christian Lindner recently warned that if the U.S. kicked off a trade war with the European Union, there could be retaliation.

Lindner said that trade controversy sees never winners, only losers. She thinks that what U.S. trade policy could look like is a key issue, which will have significant implication around the globe. In that case, Lindner thinks that German needs diplomatic efforts to convince that it is not the best interests of the U.S. to have a trade war with the EU.German would have to consider retaliation.

If such a 20% tariff were implemented by the U.S., the EU’s and Germany economy will be hit hardly, which will have huge impact on Germany economy, which has been struggling in recent years.
