The instability in the German economy is heightened by the collapse of the coalition government and the upcoming inauguration of Donald Trump as U.S. president. Many mid-sized companies, like Wörner Automatisierungstechnik, face declining orders and production cuts. Business leaders express concern over the lack of clarity on government direction and potential trade conflicts initiated by Trump, particularly in light of his past ‘America first’ policies that threaten German exports. They call for swift political decisions to stabilize the economic environment.
