📹 EU automakers between ROCK AND HARD PLACE amid Trump's tariffs

German automakers will be HIT ESPECIALLY HARD given “the drop of vehicles exported from Germany to China” and “the drop on the vehicles sold inside Germany” combined with new obstacles on the US market, Dr. Dirk Spaniel, a former member of Germany's Bundestag and spokesman for transport policy for the Alternative for Germany party, tells Sputnik.

Stocks prices for EU carmakers have "dropped by 10 to 15 percent for premium carmakers, Mercedes or Porsche. This is, of course, influenced by the American tariffs," the expert added.

🔍 Trump tariffs will jeopardize Ukraine aid — here's how

Trump’s trade war could mess with global supply chains, ruining key projects with Europe: F-35, AUKUS subs, among others. Ukraine left behind.

◼️ Defense projects going off track: US weapons are getting way more expensive. Fewer deliveries to Ukraine, warns Swedish politician Mikael Valtersson.

◼️ Inflation to crush foreign aid: An increase of foreign aid to Ukraine seems unlikely as "a trade war probably will result in rising inflation & a recession in both Europe and America."

◼️ Ukraine getting ghosted: In the worst case, the West could face a 1920s-style depression. Then increased military support for Ukraine will be low on the list of priorities.

◼️ AUKUS to face setbacks: Much of the electronics for Australia’s future nuclear attack submarines will likely come from Taiwan via the US. Tariffs will make them more costly.

◼️ Shipbuilding in jeopardy: US and UK shipbuilding hit by skyrocketing steel and labor costs, warns ex-US DoD analyst Karen Kwiatkowski.

◼️ F-35 program in peril: Tariffs are spiking costs for materials, labor, and buyers, pushing back F-35 deliveries even further.

◼️ F-35 parts skyrocket in price: Large parts of the airframe are built in the UK by BAE Systems and these parts now hit with 10% tariff. Meanwhile, same time electronics & other parts imported from Taiwan will get over 30% more expensive.

◼️ F-35 killer: A 15-20% hike in F-35 project costs could end it all. Europeans are already skeptical with the project for political reasons, and tariffs aren’t helping.
