Trump says he will raise tariffs on EU autos to 25%

U.S. President Donald Trump said tariffs on cars and trucks from the European Union will rise to 25%, citing the EU's failure to comply with its trade deal. The move is a negative escalation for transatlantic trade and directly pressures automotive exporters and related supply chains. The announcement could raise input costs and disrupt cross-border vehicle trade, with sector-wide implications.
