Germanys leading car manufacturers have called on the European Union (EU) to scrap its import tariffs on U.S. cars, which are far higher than those imposed on European cars entering America.
The firms called for all tariffs to end, on both the EU and U.S. side, to boost free but also fair trade across the Atlantic, passing the message to the U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell.

They blinked. We'll see. The U.S. puts a 25% tariff on light trucks and SUVs, the two biggest money-makers for U.S. auto companies. Will they sit still for having that tariff removed?
To: GonzoII
Trump knows what he is doing. The media condemn him for trying to boost exports of American goods, and talk only about a “trade war.”
They deliberately and intentionally distort the facts, to make Trump look bad.

What?? There were existing high EU tariffs on US cars? Mad-dog Trump didn't just unilaterally start a trade war?
I must have been misinformed.

From the article:
"If the plan were accepted, it would mean scrapping the EUs 10 percent tax on car and auto imports from the U.S. and other nations and the U.S. dropping the 2.5 percent duty it puts on similar imports from the EU."
Trump is absolutely correct to point out this huge discrepancy.
They hit our auto products with a 10% duty and we hit theirs with 2.5%? Crazy. No way that kind of lopsidedness should be allowed to remain.

This would be a good move. Hell will freeze over before the politicians agree to this. This should be done on all items. Let the best manufacture win. If other countries can produce it better and cheaper than us so be it with zero tariffs
To: DoodleDawg
zero tariff on both sides. If they can make it cheaper and better than America so be it. It means the trucks and SUV people here would have to up their game. We would win some and lose some. I would bet we would win way more than we lose. On a level field I will bet that American workers can out produce anyone.
