YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThreats, pressure, and rising intimidation: Europe is feeling the impact of President Donald Trump's expanding global ambitions — even after the latest deals on Greenland and tariffs. As Washington applies open pressure on its long-time allies, a historic breach of trust is unfolding. The EU is trying to hit back with its own trade "bazooka," but Europe’s search for new partners is faltering. The once-celebrated Mercosur agreement is now stuck in court, stalled after fierce resistance.
So what’s the right response to Trump’s strategy? Does Europe still have real leverage — or is it simply too weak and too dependent on the United States?
On To the Point we ask: "Tariffs as a weapon: Who holds the better cards?"
Our guests: Ulrike Herrmann, Business Editor, daily taz - Stormy-Annika Mildner is an economist and the Director of the Aspen Institute in Germany - Melissa Eddy is the Berlin correspondent for The New York Times - Professor Rolf Langhammer, Kiel Institute for the World Economy.
