Which EU member state is most exposed to U.S. auto tariffs, shipping tens of billions of euros in vehicles annually to America?

Question

Accepted Answer

Germany exported €36.8 billion worth of vehicles to the United States in 2024, making the U.S. its single largest auto export market at 13.1% of all new vehicle exports. BMW, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz depend heavily on American buyers. When Trump imposed 25% auto tariffs in April 2025, German auto exports to the U.S. plunged 23.5% within two months. The July 27 Turnberry deal set auto tariffs at 15%, offering partial relief but still tripling rates from their pre-2025 levels.
