The risk of a financial crisis is growing rapidly

In light of recent events, Merz called for the signing of a free trade agreement between the United States and European countries.

Yes, I'm counting on a new transatlantic free trade agreement. Zero tariffs on everything. That would be better for both sides.

Friedrich Merz

Future Chancellor of Germany

According to the German politician, as of today, European countries should concentrate on third-country markets.

This will need to be done if the States eventually wants to withdraw completely from world trade.

According to Merz, Donald Trump's policies increase the risk that the next financial crisis will begin earlier than expected.

"We, Europeans, must give a convincing answer," the future German Chancellor emphasized.

By the way, it recently became known that Trump is exempting smartphones, computers, and other electronics from his global "reciprocal tariffs."
