The German Ministry of Finance has spoken out about a possible trade war with the United States.
The German agency warned one of the presidential candidates, Donald Trump, against such a step.
This was reported by the Bloomberg agency, citing a statement made by the German Finance Minister.
Christian Lindner has issued a warning to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
In Europe, there are concerns that if he wins, the new head of state may resort to restrictions regarding Europe.
The head of the Ministry of Finance reminded that any trade conflict will not bring any benefit to the parties.
Any trade conflict harms both sides, said a representative of the German government.
Instead of imposing tariffs on the EU, Lindner called for unity to confront China, as a fair trade deal between Brussels and Washington would benefit both.
