EU Prepares ‘Timely, Robust, and Carefully Balanced’ Response to Trump’s Car Tariffs

The European Commission is preparing a ‘timely, robust, and carefully balanced’ response to the 25% car tariffs announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. ‘We regret it, but we are preparing for all of this,’ said the Commission representative. It is understood that next week, a new series of measures from the U.S., described as reciprocal tariffs, will come into effect. Olof Gil stated, ‘We regret all of this, but we are preparing for all of this.’ While no exact timeline has been provided for the EU’s response to actions not yet implemented, assurances have been given that the response will be timely, strong, carefully measured, and achieve the desired outcome.
