Goldman Economists See Limited US Tariff Hit to European Growth

Trump said on Saturday he would impose the levies on European countries that have rallied to support Greenland in the face of US threats to seize the semi-autonomous Danish territory. The Goldman team estimates that a 10% duty would lower real GDP by 0.1% to 0.2% across the affected countries via reduced trade. “The hit could be larger should there be adverse confidence or financial market effects,” the team including Sven Jari Stehn wrote in a note.

Europe is the US’s largest lender with its countries owning $8 trillion of US bonds and equities, almost twice as much as the rest of the world combined, George Saravelos, Deutsche Bank’s global head of FX research, wrote in a note to clients on Sunday.

Germany's troubled economy shows modest growth after two years of shrinkage

Germany's troubled economy returned to modest growth last year after two years of falling output, official figures showed, as hopes rise that government spending on bridges, rail lines and defense may help end years of stagnation. The expansion in gross domestic product of 0.2% for 2025 was fueled by stronger consumer and government spending while exports sagged under the weight of more restrictive U.S. trade policy under President Donald Trump, the German Federal Statistical Office said on Thursday. “Germany’s export business faced strong headwinds owing to higher U.S. tariffs, the appreciation of the euro and increased competition from China,” statistical office head Ruth Brand said in a statement accompanying the statistical release.
