US EditionTrump Hits EU with 25% Tariffs on Cars and Trucks
Trump said the EU is not complying with the trade deal, and the tariff increase could affect a $1.7 trillion transatlantic trade relationship, officials said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump announced he will increase tariffs on European Union cars and trucks to 25% next week, claiming the EU is "not complying with our fully agreed to Trade Deal."
- The 2025 Turnberry Agreement set a 15% tariff ceiling on most goods, but the United States Supreme Court this year ruled the president lacked authority to declare economic emergencies for such tariffs, undermining the deal's legal foundation.
- Trump stated the hike forces European car makers to relocate factory production to the U.S. more quickly, pledging "no tariff" for automakers producing vehicles in American plants.
- European Parliament trade committee chair Bernd Lange called the announcement "unacceptable," stating the move demonstrates the U.S. is an "unreliable" trading partner that breaches agreements.
- Diplomatic tensions are widening as Trump recently suggested reducing U.S. troop levels in Germany, Italy, and Spain while criticizing German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for "interfering" on Iran.
