BERLIN, April 7 (Reuters) - Germany's outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz is in touch with European leaders and German companies to make sense of U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff regime and its impact on financial markets, a government spokesperson said on Monday.

"We are of course monitoring the situation on the international financial markets very closely," the spokesperson told a regular press briefing in Berlin.

Scholz held talks in recent days with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and EU trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic, with other meetings planned, the spokesperson added.
