Ralph Freund is spokesman of the german section of "Republicans Overseas". He says: "There has been a trade imbalance for years between the US and the EU. The complaints of the Europeans about punitive tariffs are therefore not justified."

 

 

Daryl Lindsey is managing editor of Spiegel International. He says: "Europe is for the most part united against Trump on tariffs now, but what if this turns into a full-fledged trade war?"
