>President Donald Trump has announced that he will impose a 25% tariff on all vehicles not made in the United States.
>”What we’re going to be doing is a 25% tariff on all cars that are not made in the United States. If they’re made in the United States, it is absolutely no tariff,” he announced at the White House.

Well I guess the US is not getting those 20k euro/usd VW and Renaults coming in the next few years. Not that they were going to be sold there anyway but at least not now.
Cars have been inflated in price to hell after Covid and US is already struggling with stagnating sales and peaking car debt that was given out too easily due to Covid boosts. This will just mean nothing in the US market will be left except high cost Teslas and some American brands that have largely discontinued smaller and cheaper cars in the US already, like ford which basically sells smaller cars only outside the US.
And so the cost of living continues to rise. Way to fuck yourself over. Average new car price pushing 50k usd in the US btw in a car centric society.

I hope Europe will respond adequately to this. I do not want a tariff war, because it won’t benefit anyone, but I also want that Europe send the right message clarifying that he is not the king of the world.

So now instead of only domestic made cars in the US going up in price, so are European cars?
If the US wasnt such a car heavy society with proper public transportation, this would be fine.
As it stands, they’re shooting themselves in foot

Some info I looked up because I wanted to know it.
EU and UK car tariff is 10%
The US current car tariff is 2.5%

Stellantis is headquartered in Amsterdam, that’s, what’s 70% of what used to be American brands? Ram, buick, chevrolet? Dodge as well I think?

New cars are already soaring in price in the U.S. Also the cars made here are terrible. If Ford and Dodge want to compete with Subaru and Toyota they should make better cars. Parts for non-U.S. cars are going to skyrocket in price too. So thats just great. 🙄

The US used car market will be interesting in the overall context of this Trump shit storm.

* Introduce a tax on non-EU tech companies using EU consumer data.
* introduce tarrifs on US products from republican states

I really hope the EU doesn’t don’t do tariffs as a response. They should target their tech monopolies and use it as a way to get rid of it

I wonder if this will finally make Americans decide to move towards a more car-free society like the rest of the world lol

Let’s put a tariff on all Google and Facebook and Apple not coming from Europe

So does that include the Teslas made in Germany?

It is only a matter of time before he signs an executive order declaring that every American must buy a Tesla.

Even Americans don’t want American cars cause they are shit! They gotta force you into it with tariffs now. 😂

Outright Tesla bans globally should send a message.
Not one single Tesla should be purchaseable from next month onwards.

What about start shutting down some of those U.S military bases that are all over Western Europe, basically now hosting enemy troops?

Imagine living in America and have a 25% increase on BMW, Audi, Mercedes 😂
I understand they want to grow the auto industry but the cars they make are horrific in comparison to European competitors.

The tariff is collected by the US gmt and this goes into the gmt coffers.
This increases the US retail price by 25% of vehicles such as European (or other foreign) made VW BMW MB.
This is a disaster to Canada. We feel that we are on a war footing with the US as this will drastically affect our economy.
We are considering retaliatory tariffs on US imports to Canada on luxury, high profit items, including liquor.
Luxuries that we Canadians can do without, but economically affects the US.
This angers Trump and he is threatening a 50% tariff on Canadian goods, which is pointless because 25% will kill our trade anyway.

Hasn’t Europe done the same to China or was planning to? O maybe just Germany.
