The United States intends to impose 25% tariffs on European automobile imports, walking back an August agreement that had reduced levies — originally set under Section 232 national security provisions — to 15%. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer confirmed the move on Monday, with the Trump administration accusing the EU of failing to comply with the earlier deal, a claim EU officials have rejected. The tariffs would fall hardest on German automakers such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen, and disproportionately affect luxury and high-end vehicles — including ultra-premium brands like Ferrari and Lamborghini, which manufacture exclusively in Italy — with costs expected to be passed directly to consumers.
