Europe Deeply Regrets Trump’s 25% Tariffs on Imported Cars – Canada Calls It an ‘Attack’

The European Union is deeply disappointed by President Trump’s decision to impose a 25% tariff on European vehicles imported into the U.S., as stated today (27.03.2025) by Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Commission. “I deeply regret the American decision,” noted von der Leyen in an X (formerly Twitter) post, adding that Brussels will continue seeking solutions through negotiations with the Trump administration regarding tariffs. Meanwhile, Canada reacted more strongly, with Prime Minister Mark Carney calling it a ‘direct attack’ on Canadian workers. ‘Tariffs against our automotive industry are a direct attack on Canadian workers,’ said the leader of the Liberals and Prime Minister while addressing reporters. Furthermore, the Canadian PM accused the Republican U.S. President of betraying the free trade agreement signed between their two countries and Mexico.
