German Chambers of Commerce: US auto tariffs of 25% could cost German economy 6B Euros a year

Martin Wansleben, Managing Director of Germany’s DIHK Chambers of Commerce said in a statement on Friday, the German economy could lose an extra 6 billion Euros ($6.71 billion) a year should  the US impose further tariffs of 25% on imports of cars and car parts, Reuters reports.

Wansleben noted: “But ultimately this would not only affect German manufacturers, but also consumers in the United States.”  

On Wednesday, Reuters quoted three Trump administration officials, citing that the US President Trump is expected to delay a decision on imposing the auto tariffs on the EU and Japan by up to six months.
