Reading time: 5 min.
|Someone like Donald Trump is difficult for entrepreneurs and managers. Tariffs are bad for business. But even worse is the uncertainty. It dampens the mood for investment.
For a few weeks now, Christian Hartel has been following US President Donald Trump on his social network Truth Social. The CEO of the publicly traded Wacker Chemie wants to stay up-to-date, and the news is changing almost daily. Donald Trump prefers to spread his threats via his channel. Over the weekend, Hartel was able to read about the tariff rate Trump is threatening to impose on Europeans: 30 percent on US imports from the EU.
