“If the EU upholds its status as a reliable partner that defends trade openness, investor protection, the rule of law and central bank independence, the euro has the potential to play the role of a global public good.

That is why policy efforts to integrate and deepen European capital markets must go hand in hand with efforts to issue European safe assets.”

Even though the United States represents only 15% of global trade, Donald Trump has taken it upon himself to launch a trade war against the entire world. If the countries representing the other 85% can come together and impose their own tariffs on US exports, Trump’s leverage will instantly vanish.
