It's 🇪🇺🇺🇸 golf course 'trade deal' implementation o'clock.

A pleasure to speak to DW News about the 🇪🇺 response to Trump's tariff letter to the 🇪🇺, with a message for my fellow Germans:
"It is crucial that 🇩🇪 now fully understands that the best possible outcome can only be achieved through a language of strength and determination to impose countermeasures."
