Europeans are determined to defend themselves.

The candidate for the position of Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, stated that the 90-day pause by U.S. President Donald Trump on tariffs proves the positive effect of a unified European approach.

This was reported by Reuters.

Merz is convinced that the 90-day pause by U.S. President Donald Trump on tariffs is evidence that a unified European approach to trade has a positive effect.

"Europeans are determined to defend themselves, and this example shows that unity helps the most," he said.

He also called for duty-free trade between the U.S. and the EU.

"Let’s set 0% tariffs on transatlantic trade, and then the problem will be solved," he added.
