The freeze on President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs ended on Friday, triggering new duties that Ford says have already cost it $2 billion and prompting warnings from global manufacturers and U.S. allies.
In a special Newshour segment, AnewZ's Guy Shone said the expiry of the tariff pause marked “the looming spectre of higher tariffs once again.” Correspondent Kate Fischer, reporting from Washington, said Ford’s estimate of a $2 billion hit from duties on steel and aluminium was “a very real price tag on what some are calling an economic gamble with global consequences.”
Ford said it had paid an additional $800 million in tariffs in the three months to June despite producing most of its cars in the United States. General Motors and Volkswagen have reported similar losses of about $1 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.
At the same time, the White House hailed a new U.S.-EU trade agreement that reduces most European export tariffs to 15 %, down from a threatened 30 %. The deal commits the EU to $750 billion in U.S. energy purchases and $600 billion in investment by 2028. However, a 50 % tariff on imported steel and aluminium remains in place.
French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou called the accord “a dark day for the bloc,” while German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz said it risked “considerable damage” to European exporters.
AnewZ correspondent Oubai Shahbandar said the administration had made clear there would be no further extensions to the suspension. President Trump posted online that tariffs would “make America rich and great again,” despite calls from automakers for more time to adjust.
