Trump tears up EU tariff deal, says car and truck tariffs rise to 25%
President Donald Trump revoked part of the tariff agreement he struck with EU leaders at his Turnberry golf course in Scotland and announced tariffs on imported cars and lorries will rise to 25 percent. He accused the European Union of non-compliance and said the rollback restores US negotiating leverage. German MEP Bernd Lange said the announcement proved the United States is untrustworthy. The move threatens German automakers such as Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes, risks higher consumer prices and raises the prospect of EU retaliation that would escalate a transatlantic trade dispute.
Trump still running with his tax on Americans. Once again threatening the EU.
Mark Chadbourn143China, the EU, the whole world just quietly soaking it up and preparing for a Best Served Cold scenario.
Exodor10Didn’t SCOTUS rule he can’t just unilaterally impose tariffs?
davidgarciaspai.bsky.social10That should finally be “it”. The EU will threaten the digital enforcement mechanism (that should have been done 10 years ago) and the US will fall apart. Elections have consequences - elect a retard - see your country fall apart
🇪🇺6Apparantly it is Friday again, by Tuesday everything will be different again. 🐔🌮🙄
Cam Simpson4Well, he's right. There's has never been anything like what is happening in America today.

Lasse8Buycott products made in USA. John Deere tractors and others just to hit them with 25% tarrifs!! Fuck USA👎
SanMarcos 🍒🚤⚓ Meme thief8US tariffs are paid in the US. If people can afford the nicer European cars, they'll probably pay the tariffs. Then it becomes a US problem
Thosmas4I bought my kitchen stove because it was Made In Mexico. No low-grade Made In America crap for me! After it started deteriorating prematurely I realized it was "assembled" in Mexico from all American made parts! Are those EU cars MANUFACTURED in U$A, or merely ASSEMBLED in U$A?

IMPEACH & REMOVE16If auto plants are REALLY going up everywhere in the US, what’s his beef? He’s lying about the plants. He’s mad that they aren’t playing along with his tariff fantasy.

Trump: "We raised the tariffs…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%."

LuluHoney3Won't the EU just flip the bird at him, as SCOTUS ruled his tariffs illegal?
I Love This Post2I thought the tariffs were illegal. It’s interesting how he loves the Supreme Court when they approve Jim Crow laws, but he hates them when they call his tariffs illegal. I guess he will get away with this too

Trump says he will place a 25% tariff on autos from the EU next week, accusing the bloc of not complying with a trade deal. apnews.com/article/trum...
j-waller55.bsky.social4Trump is almost certainly unlawfully imposing new 25% tariffs on EU autos as retribution for various EU countries refusing to join the US in its war against Iran. Yet another example of how to lose allies.
Curt Milam3Almost all European makes are built in the USA now.
Kaerick2At this point, countries should simply reply with matching tariffs and not even bother with meeting Trump officials over it. Make it clear that the negotiation is we will match whatever tariff you place on us for the duration your tariff exists. Trump's already screwed the US as a trade partner.
