Trump's Germany Comments Spark Tension | Perth News
Description
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz abruptly canceled a planned call with President Trump after Trump publicly celebrated Germany’s far-right AfD party—using a slogan eerily reminiscent of “Make America Great Again”—sparking outrage and accusations of political interference. Meanwhile, the EU pushes forward with new procurement rules to favor European-made goods, aiming to bolster domestic industry and resist China’s economic sway without imposing mandatory quotas. As tensions rise over foreign meddling in elections, EU officials also seek to reform bidding practices to prioritize local suppliers—even those without trade deals—ensuring Europe’s internal market remains resilient amid global competition.
