DGAP’s Research Institute regularly brings together experts and high-level guests to discuss the latest developments in foreign affairs. On April 3, one day after the introduction of reciprocal tariffs on all US trading partners on what President Trump is calling “Liberation Day,” we will look at transatlantic trade. In calculating these tariffs, the Trump administration has said it will consider tariff discrepancies, balance of trade, and value-added tax rates. Germany and the European Union are among the primary targets – also given the 25% tariffs on car imports already announced on March 26. We will assess the impact that Trump’s protectionism will have on global trade and how the EU should respond.
