Trump the United States from its trading partners unfairly treated and threatened for months with special duties on cars. For the German manufacturer, this would be a heavy burden. After the fronts of the rails temporarily hardened, assured Trump EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in the summer, for the time being of the auto customs duties to refrain. Instead, they wanted to negotiate further. Since then, not much did. After the announcement of significant job cuts at the biggest U.S. car maker General Motors, Trump called again last week for duties of up to 25 per cent on cars from abroad.
