Tariff deal will result in ‘considerable negative repercussions', German industry warns
There was a time when German politicians and business leaders hoped having one of their own heading the European Commission would be a good thing. Last weekend's trade agreement between Ursula von der Leyen and Donald Trump put an end to that. 'Von der Leyen has not delivered a deal, rather the surrender of our companies,' said Christoph Ahlhaus, head of the German and European Mittelstand (SME) representative associations. 'We need someone at the head of Europe who fights for our interests. If the commission president is not able to do this then [Chancellor Friedrich] Merz must draw the consequences.' Like Ireland, Germany has huge trade exposure to the US, selling goods worth €161 billion stateside last year. And Germany's US trade surplus of nearly €70 billion makes up a huge part of the EU surplus targeted by the Trump tariff threats . Chancellor Merz , leader of Ms von der Leyen's political home, the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has tried to cool tempers. The proposed 15 per cent tariff deal was along the lines he expected, Merz said, but would still cause 'significant damage' to the German economy – in its third year of recession. READ MORE Mr Merz promised Ms von der Leyen his 'full support' for Brussels in 'the negotiations that will now begin'. But that could change – if the hail of abuse from German industry continues. Mr Ahlhaus said Ms von der Leyen was trying to talk up a 'capitulation' that will cause a 'tsunami' of SME insolvencies across Europe. Germany's influential BDI industry federation warned the deal as presented would have 'considerable negative repercussions' and sent 'a fatal signal'. Similarly Germany's chemical trade association VCI said the accord 'avoided an escalation' but left rates 'too high', though it acknowledged: 'When one expects a hurricane, you rejoice at a simple storm.' Germany's BGA exporter federation called the deal a 'painful compromise' bringing an 'existential threat' for many member companies. Senior economists agree, with IFO institute president Clemens Faust calling the deal a 'humiliation for the EU that reflects the imbalance in power'. Through gritted teeth, German Automotive Association president Hildegard Müller said the deal was 'fundamentally good' but would 'cost the German automotive industry billions annually'. German car companies have seen their shares fall on news of the deal. They have given up on Brussels and are reportedly beginning their own direct trade talks with Washington. Already in 2025, a separate 50 per cent tariff on US imports of steel and aluminium have cost the VW group alone €1.3 billion. All automotive firms hope to strike 'scalable' tariff deals with the Trump administration, with import costs dropping for every dollar invested in US production.

Russian strikes kill dozens in Ukraine after Trump shortens peace deal deadline
Russian air strikes on Ukraine killed at least 24 civilians and injured dozens on Tuesday, hours after US president Donald Trump gave the Kremlin less than a fortnight to make peace with Kyiv or face punishing tariffs on trade. Sixteen people were killed and more than 40 wounded when a guided bomb hit a prison in the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, and at least three people were killed – including a pregnant woman - by a missile strike on a hospital in the town of Kamyanske in the neighbouring province of Dnipropetrovsk. Meanwhile, five people were killed at an aid distribution point in Novoplatonivka village in the eastern Kharkiv region. 'Yesterday, very important words were spoken by president Trump about how the Russian leadership is wasting the world's time by talking about peace while simultaneously killing people,' said Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy . 'We all want genuine peace – dignified and lasting … Everyone except Russia,' he added, claiming that a ceasefire 'could have long been in place, if not for Russia's refusal'. READ MORE 'They must be compelled to stop the killing and make peace … We are grateful to all the leaders who are helping defend Ukraine and exerting pressure on Russia. Peace is possible. But only when Russia ends the war it itself started.' [ Ukraine says it is holding back Russia's offensive but has only received pledges for three Patriot systems Opens in new window ] Mr Trump said on Monday that he was 'very disappointed' with Russian president Vladimir Putin and would give him '10 or 12 days' to seek a peace deal with Ukraine, bringing forward a previous 50-day deadline that would have expired in early September. 'We thought we had it settled numerous times,' Mr Trump said of Russia's 3½-year full invasion of Ukraine. 'And then president Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city like Kyiv and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever.' The attack came three years to the night after an explosion in a jail in the town of Olenivka in occupied eastern Ukraine killed more than 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war and wounded more than 100. Kyiv and a United Nations report suggested the jail was shelled from a Russian-held area, and Moscow blocked an international investigation of the incident. 'This is a gross violation of international humanitarian law and another proof of the war crimes of the Russian Federation,' Ukraine's human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said of the attack that took place late on Monday night. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisted on Tuesday that 'the Russian army does not strike civilian targets. Strikes are carried out on military and paramilitary infrastructure.' He gave only a brief response to Mr Trump's comments, saying: 'We have taken note of president Trump's statements yesterday. The 'special military operation' continues, and we remain committed to a peaceful resolution of the conflict around Ukraine - one that secures our interests as part of that process.' Moscow calls its all-out invasion of pro-western Ukraine a 'special military operation', and says it will end only when Kyiv agrees to the permanent occupation of five regions, abandons its Nato membership hopes and accepts other limitations on its sovereignty. 'Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10 … He should remember 2 things,' former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev wrote on social media. '1. Russia isn't Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country.' Mr Medvedev, who is now deputy chairman of Russia's security council, also lashed out at Republican senator Lindsey Graham: 'It's not for you or Trump to dictate when to 'get [to] the peace table'. Negotiations will end when all the objectives of our military operation have been achieved. Work on America first, gramps!' (c) Copyright Thomson Reuters 2025
