Trump Announces 25% Tariff on EU Vehicles Amid Trade Dispute

Donald Trump announced on Friday that the US will raise tariffs on cars and trucks imported from the European Union to 25%, up from the previously agreed 15%, citing non-compliance with a bilateral trade deal. The decision triggered immediate criticism from European officials, who rejected Trump's assertion that the EU had failed to comply with the agreement. The escalation adds strain to already tense transatlantic relations amid broader geopolitical tensions between Washington and Brussels.
