Berlin: German Minister of Economy Robert Habeck called for a firm response from the European Union after the US President Donald Trump announced a new 25 percent tariff on car imports. "The EU must now give a firm response to the tariffs - it must be clear that we will not back down in the face of the USA," Habeck said.

According to Qatar News Agency, these tariffs are detrimental to both the European and US economies. Habeck emphasized the need for urgent negotiations to prevent a spiraling trade war. He highlighted that the tariffs interfere with global supply chains and will lead to increased costs for American cars, suggesting that prices in the United States will continue to rise.
