US tariffs may harm global carmakers: EU auto group

Brussels, Mar 27 (UNI) The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) on Thursday voiced deep concern over a new U.S. tariff measure targeting the auto sector, warning it could harm global carmakers and disrupt U.S. manufacturing.
It came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to impose 25 percent tariffs on all vehicles and foreign-made auto parts imported into the United States.
In a statement, ACEA Director General Sigrid de Vries urged the U.S. administration to reconsider the tariffs, warning that the measure would not only raise costs for American consumers but also hurt manufacturers that rely on imported automotive parts to produce vehicles in the United States.
