(Reuters) - German steelmaker Salzgitter expects its 2025 result to be impacted by the trade policies of the new U.S. government and the current stagnation of the German economy, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
Salzgitter said it expects its 2025 pre-tax result to fall within a range of minus 100 million euros and 100 million euros.
