The German economy can not survive that. There is no "mutual benefit" when what you are doing is an existential risk to the other side.

That the Netherlands adds 500 jobs making EUV machines is a tiny consolation for mass unemployment in Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Hungary and France with millions of jobs lost. Again, free trade is an insane idea when the proposition of one side is an existential threat to the other side.
