European Parliament President Roberta Metsola seeks an electric vehicle tariff agreement with China
Facing changes in the global trade landscape due to Donald Trumps election as U.S. President, EU Trade Commissioner Bernd Lange emphasized the need for the EU to reassess competition policies, particularly seeking new agreements with China in the electric vehicle tariff dispute. Lange noted that the EU is actively seeking more suppliers to reduce dependence on single markets while addressing global supply chain uncertainties. This strategic shift reflects the EUs determination to safeguard its economic interests and promote international cooperation.
