Scholz hopes for new trade agreements

At the opening of the IAA Mobility international motor show in Munich, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz promised on Tuesday that the EU would „campaign vigorously for free trade agreements.“ He said he was confident that, following the conclusion of negotiations with New Zealand and Kenya, „good news“ would soon be reported from negotiations with Australia, Mercosur, Mexico and Indonesia. He said the resulting diversification in the procurement of raw materials is the answer to unilateral dependencies.
