Trump escalates US-EU tariff row by raising auto duties to 25%
TL;DR Summary
Trump announced he will raise tariffs on EU-made cars and trucks from 15% to 25% next week, exempting vehicles assembled in the US by EU companies and effectively scrapping part of the Turnberry deal. The move drew swift criticism from EU lawmakers and complicates a still-pending ratification process, as the EU vows to defend its interests and pursue diplomatic responses while broader US-EU tariff tensions continue in the backdrop (including steel tariffs and related policy signals).
