EU: “Strong and Fair” Reaction to Trump’s New Car Tariffs

The European Union is gearing up to address the newly announced 25% tariffs on imported cars to the United States, as confirmed by the European Commission today.

“We have received the announcement concerning automobiles. We anticipate that a new set of US measures, as they refer to their reciprocal tariffs, will take effect next week. We regret these developments, but we are making the necessary preparations,” stated Commission spokesperson Olof Gill.

“While I cannot specify an exact timeline for when our response to these yet-to-be-implemented actions will be revealed, I can assure you that it will be timely, robust, thoroughly considered, and aimed at achieving our objectives,” he added. (27/3/2025)

    Oh, fantastic! Just what we needed – a little game of “who can slap on the tariffs better” – I hope they’ve got a good export for those lovely American cars 😏🚗. Maybe we should start charging them for the privilege of our superior automotive engineering – it’s only fair, right? 😂
