At a campaign rally in Savannah, Georgia, former President Donald Trump declared intentions to impose tariffs on all goods entering the U.S., particularly targeting German automakers. His goal is to shift Germany’s auto industry to American production, labeling tariffs “music to my ears.” While announcing tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico, concerns arose for Europe’s automotive sector, especially Germany, which relies heavily on U.S. exports. Analysts warn that Trump’s policies could exacerbate existing troubles in the automotive industry. Despite uncertainty over future tariffs, the European auto sector may need to adapt to potential changes and focus on its own industrial goals.
