Trump droht der EU mit höheren Autozöllen

Donald Trump hat den Druck auf die Europäische Union erhöht, indem er damit droht, die Zölle auf Autos zu erhöhen, falls das Handelsabkommen von 2025 nicht bis zum 4. Juli ratifiziert wird.

Das Abkommen wurde Ende Juli 2025 auf dem Golfplatz Turnberry in Schottland geschlossen. Es beinhaltet die Abschaffung von Zöllen auf bestimmte Produkte.

Ein Treffen am Mittwochabend zwischen Vertretern der Mitgliedstaaten und dem Europäischen Parlament konnte die europäischen Positionen nicht in Einklang bringen. Ursula von der Leyen erklärte, Europa sei «für alle Szenarien bereit».

Emmanuel Macron forderte Vergeltungsmaßnahmen, während Friedrich Merz zur Vorsicht mahnte. Der US-Präsident warnte, dass die Zölle «deutlich höhere Niveaus» erreichen könnten.

US President Donald Trump announced on May 1, 2026, via Truth Social, 25% tariffs on cars and trucks imported from the European Union effective next week, claiming the bloc breached last summer's trade deal. The EU insists it is complying, demands clarifications, and reserves all options for retaliation, as Germany's auto sector braces for heavy impact.

The US Supreme Court has ruled most of Donald Trump's tariffs illegal, casting doubt on the Turnberry agreement signed in July 2025. The European Parliament has suspended its implementation pending clarifications from Washington. Trump has threatened higher tariffs if the ruling is exploited.

France urges a united European Union response and Germany plans talks with allies after US President Donald Trump raised his global tariff to 15% on Saturday, defying a Supreme Court ruling that struck down his initial trade measures. The hike, effective immediately, targets major US partners including the EU, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.

In a landmark 6-3 ruling, the US Supreme Court declared unlawful the special tariffs President Donald Trump imposed on dozens of trading partners under a 1977 emergency law, ruling that it does not authorize the president to bypass Congress. The decision, published earlier this year, has collected about $130 billion but left refunds unclear, prompting lawsuits from importers like FedEx. Trump responded by announcing a new general 10% tariff on all goods.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on February 27 the provisional application of the EU-Mercosur trade agreement, without awaiting ratification by the European Parliament. This move, welcomed in Berlin, comes as Emmanuel Macron appears weakened on the European stage following the failed dissolution of the National Assembly in June 2024. It highlights Franco-German tensions amid the Paris Agricultural Show and ahead of municipal elections.
