"Changing world trade: Europe's response to Trump's tariffs"
During the Europe Weeks 2025, Bernd Lange (MEP), Chairman of the European Parliament's Trade Committee, will speak at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences on May 7, 2025 about the potential impact of US tariffs on the German and European economies
Is Europe on the brink of a trade war with the USA? What economic and political responses from Europe to these protectionist measures are now possible and necessary? The lecture as part of the Europe Weeks 2025 presents the possible effects of US tariffs on the German and European economy.
Bernd Lange, the long-standing Chairman of the European Parliament's Trade Committee, explains why the tariffs could hit the German steel, aluminum and automotive industries particularly hard and shows ways in which the European Union can respond to these challenges. The lecture will provide first-hand, in-depth insights into the current negotiations between the EU and the USA on trade policy. The lecture will also provide an outlook on future developments in global trade from a German and European perspective.
