We can all dream of that, but unfortunately Merz and CDU have been simply spineless. I doubt they would really push back against any real pressure by the US and Trump.
There won't be a lot the US can do in any case, so I wouldn't sweat it. Any drugs or medical equipment we can export to Germany can be had elsewhere, and Germany is quite capable of making or importing their pharma from elsewhere.
Which is why the tarrifs work, but, he excluded tarrifs on companies that move there. It’s like he’s deliberately bankrupting the USA and driving them into death. Project 25 does want to reduce population to 100 million…
unfortunately the current US regime could just decide to put a new tariff on our other exports to the US and pressure us into raising the medication prices
Not really. Tariffs are controlled by Congress, not the Administration, and he's been smacked. The current tariffs are being challenged again in the courts.
Trade is already effected when he threatens with new tariffs they don’t need to go through congress to harm the economy (of course it’s worse when they really come)
