Study by the German Ifo institute showed, proposed 25% import tariffs on cars by the United States could cut German car exports to the U.S. by up to 50% in the long-term and heavily affect exports to other countries.
“These tariffs would cut total car exports from Germany by 7.7%, which would amount to 18.4 billion euros,” Gabriel Felbermayr, foreign trade expert at Ifo, said.
