Moscow – Sputnik. The survey included 1,002 Germans, showing that 51% are dissatisfied with Von der Leyen’s performance, while 31% approve of her, and 18% remain undecided.
The survey revealed that 66% of the Germans surveyed expect the tariff agreement to have a negative impact on the German economy, whereas 14% believe it will benefit the national economy. Ten percent of the participants expressed their opinions.
On July 27, Von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump reached a trade agreement that subjects most European Union exports to the United States to a 15% tariff. The agreement does not include the removal of the US tariffs of 50% on steel and aluminum, but they could be reduced as a result of further negotiations, according to the New York Times, citing a senior US official. The European Union also committed to purchasing $750 billion worth of American energy products.
