President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that tariffs on EU vehicle imports will be increased next week
Trump said he will raise tariffs on EU cars and trucks to 25% next week, up from 15%, accusing the bloc of violating its trade deal with Washington.
The move sparked backlash from European politicians and trade groups, with some urging retaliatory tariffs. Trump said the increase would push European automakers to shift production to the US.
The European Commission denied breaching the agreement and warned it would consider measures to protect EU interests if the US. breaks the deal.
