Trump Raises Tariffs on EU Autos to 25% Amid Trade Deal Dispute

President Trump announced a 25% tariff on EU cars and trucks, effective next week, citing noncompliance with a trade deal.
The tariffs will not affect vehicles produced in the U.S., where existing heavy-duty truck tariffs are already set at 25%.
The EU's compliance with the trade agreement has been questioned, with ongoing disputes over steel and aluminum tariffs contributing to stalled negotiations.
