Germany's economy minister Robert Habeck criticized Elon Musk's suggestion for zero tariffs between the US and Europe, interpreting it as a weakness amid economic turbulence caused by US tariffs. He urged Musk to instead confront President Trump about his recent tariffs that have affected the markets significantly. Analysts noted that Musk’s call came after sharp market falls due to Trump's 'reciprocal' tariffs, leading to fears of a broader international trade conflict as nations prepare retaliation measures, particularly from China and Canada.
"I think it's a sign of weakness - maybe of fear," Robert Habeck told reporters on Monday. "If he has something to say, he should go to his president and say: 'Before we're talking about zero tariffs, let's stop the mess you've just made in the last week.'"},{
