As previously mentioned, Jens Hanefeld, the German Ambassador, discussed a range of topics, including defense production, the impact of tariffs on transatlantic business, and more.
"In the world of defense production, we are seeing a metamorphosis in how we approach collaboration and supply chains," Hanefeld noted, a testament to the dynamic nature of our industry. He emphasised the importance of fostering strong partnerships and navigating the complex global landscape.
The ambassador also addressed the challenge of tariffs on transatlantic trade, stating, "We must find ways to mitigate these impacts and ensure a level playing field for all."* In light of these concerns, he encouraged open dialogue and collaboration between the EU and US to find indelible solutions.
