The expanding trade war initiated by the United States under Donald Trump's administration is once again shaking global financial markets. The latest measures, such as the introduction of 25% tariffs on car imports, have intensified fears of a full-scale economic confrontation, resonating strongly on Asian stock markets and the automotive industry.

The automotive markets in Europe and Asia are under pressure following Donald Trump's announcement of increased tariffs on imported cars and light trucks to the United States. This measure has sparked criticism from the automotive industry and led to a drop in shares of leading Asian and European automakers, including major German corporations. These initiatives have already led to a noticeable decline in investor confidence in the stock markets and could pose a significant challenge for the global automotive industry.
