Germany’s Lindner Warns Trump Against Starting Trade War With EU
German Finance Minister Christian Lindner warned Donald Trump against starting a trade war with the European Union if he returns to the White House because imposing tariffs would hurt both sides.
Lindner, who’s also head of the pro-business Free Democrats, called instead for transatlantic solidarity to stand up to China, which he said posed a potential risk to “the league of liberal democracies and free traders.”
