Trump Tariffs on Foreign Cars Will Be Cut in Summer, BMW Boss Predicts

Oliver Zipse, BMW's chief executive, said he expected Trump's 25% tariffs on foreign cars would be dropped by July.

He made the prediction after BMW reported a 25% drop in profit for the first quarter of the year to €3.1bn (£2.6bn) as it braced for the effects of Trump's trade war and strong competition from China.

In March, the carmaker said tariffs imposed by the US, the EU and China could cost it €1bn this year. EU tariffs on Chinese electric car imports in response to state aid from Beijing cost BMW more than €100m in the first quarter, it said yesterday.
