German Industry Warns US About Tariff War Ahead of Trump-Juncker Summit

Industrial representatives say the tariffs would harm the US itself. Germany’s Federation of Industries (BDI) has warned that tariffs imposed by Washington on the EU risk harming the US itself.

On June 1, the US imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imported from the EU, and now the White House is currently threatening to extend the tariffs to cars and car parts as well. Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission will travel to Washington to discuss trade issues with US President Donald Trump on June 25.
