German Left Leader Slams Trump Tariffs, Calls for Independent EU Policy
US President Donald Trump's announcement of a significant tariff increase on EU goods has drawn sharp criticism from European leaders, including Ines Schwerdtner, leader of Germany's Left Party (Die Linke).
Schwerdtner has slammed Trump's tariff plans, calling for Europe to adopt an independent economic policy. She believes that Europe should no longer be 'blackmailed' by the US or Wall Street. Instead, she advocates for a focus on strengthening domestic demand and rebuilding Europe's industry.
Schwerdtner believes that cheap imports and blind free trade make Europe vulnerable. She urges investments in a socially and ecologically oriented economy to protect Europe from US influence. This aligns with the Left Party's commitment to social and ecological justice.
Schwerdtner's criticism of Trump's tariff plans reflects a growing sentiment in Europe against US trade policies. Her call for an independent European economic policy and investment in a socially and ecologically oriented economy could shape the Left Party's platform in the upcoming elections.
