Facing a declining economy, political turmoil and rising far-right issues, Germany, under the leadership of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, has shown signs of an anti-US stance Opinion | Salahm3d
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s hesitance to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine was partly in line with a rising anti-American narrative in Germany.
Many in Germany believe that escalating the war in Ukraine serves to resurrect US influence in the region. Suddenly, several US military bases, previously lying idle, have sprung into action – the US’s relevance in the region has increased. Some politicians from the far-right Alternative for Deutschland party, known for their pro-Russia stance, even visited the Russian-controlled Donbass region in eastern Ukraine. These politicians are well-known for their backing of maintaining good German-Russian relations, including scrapping sanctions against Russia – their party has been gaining electoral leverage in Germany.
Germany finds itself between a deep recession and a desperate need to not aggravate the situation with Russia, leaving a window of possibility to improve relations in the future while not discrediting itself at NATO. Many in Germany took that as a clear sign of the US provoking Europe and Russia into what they believe is in the apparent American interests.Another reason for anti-American sentiments rising across Germany is the trade war which is likely to hit Germany’s economy hard.
These subsidies will discriminate against non-US companies, particularly at a time when Europe is suffering economically. The law will offer tax credits to US consumers for electric vehicles as long as 40 percent of raw materials in their batteries are extracted and processed in the US. That means European car makers will lose out in the US market.
