Germany urges UK to raise tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles
Original: Germany wants UK to raise tariffs on Chinese EVs https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-uk-raise-tariff-china-electric-
Germany is pressing the United Kingdom to impose higher tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle imports, according to Politico. The move would align Britain more closely with EU trade measures aimed at countering heavily subsidised Chinese EVs flooding European markets. It is a notable shift for Berlin, which has previously been cautious about protectionism given its carmakers' exposure to China, and puts pressure on London as it weighs its own trade stance post-Brexit.
Why now: Germany's reversal on Chinese EV tariffs and the pressure on post-Brexit UK trade policy are newly reported and industry-relevant.
