@denki @KarlHeinzHasliP Personally, I think #Volkswagen should've taken the #1L or #L1, make it out of #Aluminium and #glassfiber or even fiber-reinforced #plastic instead of #CarbonFiber and actually #MassProduce it!
Instead of making a €111.000 shitpost that was limited to 250 units made and 200 sold…
The 27-nation bloc faces 25% import #tariffs on #steel & #aluminium & #cars as well as the new broader tariffs of 20% for almost all other goods under #Trump's policy to hit countries he says impose high barriers to US imports.
The #EU will put in place duties mostly of 25% on a range of #US imports from next Tues in response specifically to the US #metals tariffs. The bloc is still assessing how to respond to the car & broader levies.

#Greens leader #AdamBandt has urged the government to walk away from the #AUKUS pact with the #UnitedStates, describing the imposition of #steel and #aluminium #tariffs as a "wake-up call" to rethink Australia's relationship with its key ally.
It comes as #Trade Minister #DonFarrell said the challenge going forward is figuring out what US President Donald #Trump wants and to "make an offer he can't refuse".

#Trump threatened to enact a 200% #tariffs on European #wine, #champagne & other #alcohol beverages, the latest escalation in a brewing #TradeWar between the #US & the #EU.
Trump in a social media post on Thursday said that he would move forward w/the import duties if the EU doesn’t repeal a tax on US #whiskey, a measure put in place to retaliate against Trump’s #steel & #aluminium tariffs that went into effect on Wed.

I’d prefer a different outcome, but maybe companies should bypass the USA completely and find new trading partners. If Canada wants to export its steel and aluminium, we’ll have it.

#Tariffs imposed by #Trump on #steel & #aluminium imported to the United States have taken effect.
The measure raises a flat duty on steel and aluminium entering the US to 25% & ends all country exemptions to the levies.
It has sparked an immediate response from the European Union which said it would impose counter tariffs on €26bn (£21.9bn, $28.3bn) worth of US goods.
Onya Albo, no reciprocal tariffs in Australia, although there’s definitely a strong argument for whacking a tariff on gold 
.
“Tariffs and escalating trade tensions are a form of economic self-harm and a recipe for slower growth and higher inflation. They are paid by the consumers. This is why Australia will not be imposing reciprocal tariffs on the United States. Such a course of action would only push up prices for Australian consumers and increase inflation.”
…
“… in January 2025, for the first time since the US census bureau published records, Australia recorded a trade surplus with the US. This was driven, almost wholly, by a run on gold in the US. Australia shipped a record amount of gold to the US in January – worth US$2.9bn – according to Australian Bureau of Statistics figures, the highest figure in records dating back to 1995.”
