German carmaker BMW said on Friday it expected tariffs to cost it 1 billion euros ($1.09 billion) this year, while European officials warned the U.S. economy would be the biggest loser if President Donald Trump pursues an "idiotic" trade war.
BMW has forecasted a potential earnings hit due to the reimposition of U.S. tariffs on European steel and aluminum, which were initially set by former President Donald Trump. These tariffs, which had been temporarily suspended, are now reinstated, affecting the cost of materials for BMW's manufacturing operations. The European Union has expressed concerns over this move, warning against further escalation in trade disputes. The EU's trade chief, Valdis Dombrovskis, highlighted the negative impact on transatlantic relations and the global economy, urging for a resolution through dialogue rather than increasing trade barriers. This situation adds pressure on BMW and other European manufacturers amidst ongoing global economic uncertainties.
