Michael Schumann
Michael Schumann is the President of the German Federation for Economic Development and Foreign Trade. He has been a vocal advocate for multilateralism and open trade, particularly in the context of rising protectionist sentiments globally. Recently, Schumann has expressed concerns regarding the unilateral tariff actions taken by the United States, urging Europe to adopt a more proactive stance in its trade policies and to strengthen economic ties with China. He emphasizes that while protectionism may offer short-term benefits, it ultimately undermines global economic stability and growth. As Germany faces significant political and economic challenges, Schumann calls for a pragmatic approach from the new government to ensure that national interests are prioritized in economic policy-making.
