EU Parliament Trade Chief Calls Trump Tariff Threat Unacceptable

The head of the European Parliament’s trade committee called President Donald Trump’s threat to boost tariffs on EU cars and trucks “unacceptable,” and criticized the US for being an unreliable partner.

Trump on Friday said he would boost levies on cars and trucks from the European Union to 25%, saying that the bloc had failed to fully comply with a trade agreement struck with the US.
