The transatlantic partnership between the U.S. and European allies will continue regardless of who is in the White House, according to Germany’s finance minister. Amidst controversy sparked by ex-U.S. President Donald Trump’s critical remarks about NATO, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner emphasized the importance of cooperation across the Atlantic in matters of economy, politics, and security. Lindner made these comments during his visit to London, where he discussed shared challenges related to strengthening free trade capabilities with British counterpart Jeremy Hunt. Lindner also highlighted the risks posed to Europe’s peace and free trade order by Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. He acknowledged that Brexit had made business in Britain more difficult for German companies, underscoring the need for close dialogue between the two nations. Lindner stressed that the intense exchange and dialogue was necessary, as regular interaction within the framework of the European Union was no longer possible due to Britain’s departure in 2020.
