Germany Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced that the European Union will lead efforts to shape a better trade offer as the global trading order faces pressure. The initiative arrives during a week-long Asian tour aimed at strengthening economic and defense alliances. Trade partners seek alternatives as protectionist policies threaten established commercial channels.
Merz told business leaders in South Korea that nations owe their prosperity to international commerce and will resist fragmentation. The tour included stops in Singapore and Japan before concluding in Seoul, where Merz met with President Lee Jae Myung to establish an enhanced security partnership.
