"We have a trade deal with the European Union. They were not adhering to it. So I raised the tariffs on cars and trucks to 25%, that's billions of dollars coming into the United States, and it forces them to move their factory production much faster."
"President Trump's behavior is unacceptable. This latest move demonstrates just how unreliable the U.S. side is. We have already witnessed these arbitrary attacks from the U.S. in the case of Greenland; this is no way to treat close partners."
The U.S. will increase tariffs on European cars and trucks to 25% due to the EU's non-compliance with a trade deal. This move is intended to compel European manufacturers to relocate production to the U.S. The Trump administration previously imposed a 25% tariff on global automotive imports but reached a deal with the EU to lower it to 15%. EU lawmakers are still negotiating the final texts of the tariff reductions, which are not expected to be completed until June.
