German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently issued a stern warning, stating that the European Union (EU) may take retaliatory measures against American technology companies should the trade conflict with the Trump administration escalate further. While Merkel expressed her hope for reducing tariffs and easing tensions with the White House, she emphasized the need for the EU to safeguard its own interests. She noted that the United States enjoys a surplus in service trade with the EU. As the leader of Europe's largest economy, Merkel made these remarks during a critical juncture in US-EU trade negotiations.
